Samuel, list,
I've done a search on early Arabic philosophers mentioned in the brief
on-line version of the Encyclopedia Britannica article on Arabic
Philosophers. I've just received your follow-up message and searched on
the added names.
"*Kindi* ", "*Alkindus* ", "**kindus* " - nothing.
"*Farabi* ", "**farabi* " - nothing.
"*Avicenna* ": 5 things.
Review in _The Nation_ Vol. 58, No. 1495, Page 140, Feb. 22, 1894,
identified as being by Peirce.
(22 February 1894) 141-142: EARLY MAGNETICAL SCIENCE.--II.
Peirce criticizes errors in names provided by author Gilbert. Peirce
seems extensively knowledgeable.

27. There is a synchronism between the different periods of medieval
architecture, and the different periods of logic. The great dispute
between the Nominalists and Realists took place while men were
building the round-arched churches, and the elaboration finally
attained corresponds to the intricate character of the opinions of
the later disputants in that controversy. From that style of
architecture we pass to the early pointed architecture with only
plate-tracery. The simplicity of it is perfectly paralleled by the
simplicity of the early logics of the thirteenth century. Among
these simple writings, I reckon the commentaries of Averroes and of
Albertus Magnus. I would add to them the writings of the great
psychologist, St. Thomas Aquinas. For Thomistic Logic, I refer to
Aquinas, to Lambertus de Monte whose work was approved by the
Doctors of Cologne, to the highly esteemed Logic of the Doctors of
Coimbra, and to the modern manual of [Antoine] Bensa.

I've had the distinct impression the Peirce was unaware of him,
otherwise Peirce would have taken an interest in him in terms of history
of scientific method. Peirce prepared an edition _Treatise of Petrus
Peregrinus on the Lodestone_ which Peirce didn't see published. In its
prospectus, Peirce wrote,
The brief treatise on the lodestone by Petrus Peregrinus, dated
1269, occupies a unique position in the history of the human mind,
being without exception the earliest work of experimental science
that has come down to us. Nor can we learn that anything of this
sort had been written earlier.

Dear Ben,
This looks great, thank you!
I presume Peirce would have used their Latinized names in any
references. The most obvious figures to mention would be Avicenna (ibn
Sīnā), Averroës (ibn Rushd), Algazel (al-Ghazālī), and Abubekar (Abū
Bakr ibn Ṭufayl). If you were to find any references to
Alhazen/Alhacen (ibn al-Haytham), Alkindus (al-Kindī), or Avempace
(ibn Bājja) I would be very interested to hear about that as well.

Dear list,
My name is Samuel Barry, and I am a Ph. D. student in the
Classics department at the University of Manchester. At the
moment I am focused upon the role played by Aramaic (Syriac)
lexicography in the development of the Arabic medical tradition.
However, in my MA work at the University of Georgia, I attempted
to link the sound-symbolism of the great linguist Uthman ibn
Jinni (d. 1002) to contemporary ideas of linguistic relativity,
and in doing so I had some recourse to Peirce through a
Jakobsonian/cognitive linguistics lens.
Although I realize this list has a somewhat different focus, I
would like to ask your opinion on the best/most up-to-date
secondary literature discussing Peirce's relationship with the
scholastics. Beyond this general question, if there are sources
that mention any opinions of his on the Arabic philosophers who
preceded the scholastics I would be grateful to learn about them.
Many thanks,
S. C. Barry
