 Avicenna’s account of emotions was addressed in Dominicus Gundisalvi’s De anima, which consisted to a great extent of texts from the Latin translation of Avicenna’s De anima by Gundisalvi and Avendauth. Almost half of Gundisalvi’s quotations from Avicenna’s account of the sensitive motive acts concern the relationship between the concupiscible and irascible powers and the changes in the heart and the spirits. These were found interesting by the early thirteenth-century Latin authors John Blund and David of Dinant. They took the medical account of the physical aspect of emotions as causally primary, somewhat similarly to the James-Lange theory of emotions, but this was not an influential view (John Blund, Tractatus de anima, 25.380; David of Dinant, Fragmenta Quaternulorum, 36–39, 67–68).
