Andrea di Bonaiuto da Firenze or Andrea da Firenze was an Italian painter active in Florence.
He was probably born in Florence where he was active from 1343. His earliest works suggest that he was in close contact with the workshop of Andrea di Cione.
Averroism, also known as Rushdism, was a school of medieval philosophy based on the application of the works of 12th-century Andalusian philosopher Averroes, (Ibn Rushd in Arabic; 1126–1198) a commentator on Aristotle, in 13th-century Latin Christian scholasticism and Islamic Golden Age.
Latin translations of Averroes' work became widely available at the universities which were springing up in Western Europe in the 13th century, and were received by scholasticists such as Siger of Brabant and Boetius of Dacia, who examined Christian doctrines through reasoning and intellectual analysis.
