BIBLIOGRAPHY

For the sixty-six senses of “nature” and its derivatives
see A. O. Lovejoy and G. Boas, Primitivism and Related
Ideas in Antiquity
(Baltimore, 1935), appendix, pp. 447-56,
and A. O. Lovejoy, “Nature as Aesthetic Norm,” in Essays
in the History of Ideas
(Baltimore, 1948), pp. 69-78. For
the admiration of the childlike, see G. Boas, The Cult of
Childhood,
Studies of the Warburg Institute, 29 (London,
1966). For William Wordsworth's admiration of the peasant,
see especially his preface to Lyrical Ballads. Auguste Renoir
on the irregularity of nature can be most conveniently found
in C. E. Gauss, The Aesthetic Theories of French Artists
(Baltimore, 1949), pp. 36f. For the origin of natura naturans
see W. Windelband, A History of Philosophy, trans. James
H. Tufts (New York, 1893), pp. 336, 338, 368, 409. In addition
to these works, one should consult also the bibliographies
under articles “Primitivism” and “Theriophily.” The Roman
de la Rose
exists in a variety of editions. It should be
supplemented by the De planctu naturae of Alain of Lille
(Alanus de Insulis) in Migne, Patrologia Latina, Vol. 210.
