EDITIONS.--There is a complete edition of Erigena's works in J.P.
Migne's _Patrologiae cursus completus_ (vol. cxxii.), edited by H.J.
Floss (Paris, 1853). The _De divina praedestinatione_ was published in
Gilbert Mauguin's _Veterum auctorum qui nono saeculo de
praedestinatione et gratia scripserunt opera et fragmenta_ (Paris,
1650). The commentary ("Expositiones") on Dionysius' _Hierarchiae
caelestes_ appeared in the _Appendix ad opera edita ab A. Maio_ (ed.
J. Cozza, Rome, 1871). Of the _De divisione naturae_, editions have
been published by Thomas Gale (Oxford, 1681); C.B. Schluter (Munster,
1838); and in Floss's _Opera omnia_; there is a German translation by
Ludwig Noack, _Johannes Scotus Erigena uber die Eintheilung der Natur_
(3 vols., 1874-1876). Erigena was also the author of some poems edited
by L. Traube in _Monumenta Germaniae historica. Poetae Latini aevi
Carolini_, iii. (1896). A commentary on the _Opuscula sacra_ of
Boetius is attributed to him and edited by E.K. Rand (1906).
Monographs on Erigena's life and works are numerous; see St Rene
Taillandier, _Scot Erigene et la philosophie scholastique_ (1843); T.
