Here is the abstract:

Hobbes, as an Oxford student, was a beneficiary of the Aristotle commentary tradition which had migrated from Athens to Alexandria, Antioch and Constantinople, under the Hellenistic Empire, and which survived in the West due to the Greek into Arabic and Arabic into Latin translation movements. It is my thesis that Leviathan, the scaly monster of the Book of Job, was a decoy to deflect attention from Hobbes's heavy reliance on scholasticism, now associated with the Papal Monarchy, and quite literally a burning issue!

Please note, Professor Springborg has provided the attached paper to be pre-circulated if registrants wish to read it in advance.

We hope to see you there,
best, Ben and Tristan
