John Scotus Eriugena
Irish Catholic philosopher and theologian (c. 800 – c. 877)
Ninth-century Irish philosopher who blended Neoplatonism into medieval theology when most of Europe was still figuring out Latin. Bertrand Russell called him the century's most astonishing mind. Medieval intellectuals didn't get much rarer than this.
