Medieval Semiotics (meier-oeser, Stephan) / quote 18 of 30

Boetius and augustine are the main sources of ideas for medieval scholars

The core set of ideas and doctrines from which medieval philosophers developed their semiotic theories was provided to them mainly by two late ancient authors. Besides Boethius (480–528), who transmitted Aristotelian semantics to the Latin Middle Ages, Augustine's (354–430) doctrine of sign is the most important junction of ancient and medieval theories of sign and signification.
