abstract:
The great paleographer Ludwig Traube was the first to suggest that the actual handwriting of John Scottus Eriugena could be identified. In this new study, the first full examination of the problem of Eriugena's handwriting, the authors not only systematically review the evidence, but suggest a solution. Their identification of the autograph is based upon a detailed palaeographical and philological examination of the surviving examples of the scripts of the two Irishmen who wrote in the twelve ninth-century manuscripts associated directly with Eriugena and his school.

Allen (eds), Eriugena and Creation: proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Eriugenian Studies, held in honor of Edouard Jeauneau, Chicago, 9–12 November 2011, Turnhout: Brepols, 2014. 139–182.
abstract:
The author wants to show to what extent John Scottus was influenced by Origen. The influence is already reflected in the title he gives his major work: Periphyseon (On Natures). The title evokes an early and important work of Origen: Periarchon (On First Principles). John Scottus refers to Origen as beatus (blessed), a term which he reserves for saints and for the Fathers of the Church. For him Origen is both the exegete par excellence of Sacred Scripture and the most diligent researcher of the realities of nature, two areas of study to which the author of the Periphyseon was deeply committed. In the area of Scriptural interpretation, John Scottus reveals his audacity in following Origen as far as possible without exceeding the limits of orthodoxy. One of the most debated of Origen’s theses is that of the return and restoration of the created universe to its original purity (apocatastasis). The thesis affirms that at the end of time all creation will be reestablished in its primordial state. John Scottus, while suspending his judgment in regard to the fate of the demons, adopts apocatastasis for the rest of creation and in particular for humanity. He does, however, provide two modifications to Origen’s position. First, following Maximus the Confessor, he distinguishes two kinds of “return :” a general one, thanks to which all humans will recover the primeval condition in which they were created, and a special one, by which some of them will be elevated beyond and above nature to enjoy the grace of deification. In addition, John Scottus thinks that for souls separated from their bodies and awaiting the general resurrection, there will be a time devoted to purification. With that he deserves to be included among the witnesses to what some have called “the prehistory of Purgatory.”

Otten, Willemien, and Michael I. Allen (eds), Eriugena and Creation: proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Eriugenian Studies, held in honor of Edouard Jeauneau, Chicago, 9–12 November 2011, Turnhout: Brepols, 2014.
abstract:
Unjustly ignored as a result of a thirteenth-century condemnation, the thought of Johannes Scottus Eriugena (ca. 810-877) has only been subject to critical study in the twentieth century. Now, with the completion of the critical edition of Eriugena’s masterwork - the Periphyseon - the time has come to explore what is arguably the most intriguing and vital theme in his work: creation and nature.
In honor of Edouard Jeauneau - Institute Professor at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, University of Toronto and Honorary Research Director at the C.N.R.S. in Paris - to whom the field of Eriugenian studies is enormously indebted, this volume seeks to undertake a serious examination of the centrality of Eriugena’s thought within the Carolingian context, taking into account his Irish heritage, his absorption of Greek thought and his place in Carolingian culture; of Eriugena as a medieval thinker, both his intellectual influences and his impact on later medieval thinkers; and of Eriugena’s reception by modern philosophy, from considerations of philosophical idealism to technology.
