mentatio theologica of Proclus translated into Latin by friar William of Moerbeke in 1268. From the One, through the Word, all created things proceed by internal "ebullition" or "transfusion". Aristotle's "agent intellect" is identified with the "abditum mentis" of St. Augustine (De Trin., XIV, 7, 9).

Among his many works, the treatise De iride et de radialibus impressionibus has attracted attention for its scientific importance.
