About this book
A Compendium on the Soul examines the senses and their operation, including differing philosophical explanations of how the power of sight perceives objects. The account of vision describes a crystalline lens in the eye into which the forms of things are imprinted, as their impressions appear in mirrors. The text identifies colours as the objects that belong in truth and deed to the perception of sight.
The explanation of hearing states that the hearing power hears only sound and describes sound as a motion of air felt by the ear. The discussion of smell says that odours point an animal towards suitable nourishment with a strong indication.
