EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the scholarly visage of Alexander of Hales, a prominent English theologian and philosopher of the 13th century. Known as Doctor Irrefragabilis, or the "Unanswerable Doctor," Alexander was a Franciscan friar who made significant contributions to scholastic philosophy and theology. Born in England around 1175, Alexander joined the Order of Friars Minor and studied at the University of Paris, where he became a respected teacher and scholar. His works, which include commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, helped to establish the Franciscan school of theology and influenced later thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas. Alexander's innovative approach to theological inquiry, which emphasized the importance of reason and evidence in the pursuit of truth, set him apart from his contemporaries and solidified his place in the annals of intellectual history. This image, with its intricate detail and solemn expression, offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of a man who shaped the course of Western thought and left an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape of the Middle Ages.
