Candidus was the name given to the Anglo-Saxon Wizo or Witto by Alcuin, whose scholar he was and with whom he went in 782 to Gaul. He is author of several philosophical texts wrongly attributed by earlier scholars to the benedictinian monk Brun Candidus of Fulda, the author of the vita of Abott Eigil of Fulda. But recent research into the manuscript tradition furnishing clear evidence attested the authorship of Candidus Wizo, the learned disciple of Alcuin. Based on his deep knowledge of the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo he tried to give proof of god’s existence, to demonstrate that the incorporeal nature of god is conceivable only by means of the spiritual eye and excludes any possibility of viewing him by means of the corporeal eyes, and to elucidate the problem of the incarnation ex

- Candidus Wizo, disciple d’Alcuin, est un philosophe et théologien vivant au VIIIe/IXe siècle durant la Renaissance carolingienne. Originaire d'Angleterre, il fait partie des élèves d'Alcuin. Il ne faut pas le confondre avec son contemporain Candide de Fulda, poète latin et biographe. Comme philosophe il fut un des premiers à avoir proposé une preuve de l'existence de Dieu. De même dans son œuvre philosophique, plutôt que de chercher des références bibliques, il se fonde sur la réflexion personnelle, séparant ainsi la philosophie de la théologie. (fr)

| - Candidus was the name given to the Anglo-Saxon Wizo or Witto by Alcuin, whose scholar he was and with whom he went in 782 to Gaul. He is author of several philosophical texts wrongly attributed by earlier scholars to the benedictinian monk Brun Candidus of Fulda, the author of the vita of Abott Eigil of Fulda. But recent research into the manuscript tradition furnishing clear evidence attested the authorship of Candidus Wizo, the learned disciple of Alcuin. Based on his deep knowledge of the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo he tried to give proof of god’s existence, to demonstrate that the incorporeal nature of god is conceivable only by means of the spiritual eye and excludes any possibility of viewing him by means of the corporeal eyes, and to elucidate the problem of the incarnation explaining its need by the weakness of the human cognition. At the palace school he was tutor to Gisla, the sister, and Rodtruda, the daughter of Charlemagne. When Alcuin went to Tours (796), Candidus was his successor as master of the palace school. Alcuin's esteem for Candidus is shown by his dedicating his commentary on Ecclesiastes to his friends Onias, Fredegisus, and Candidus. (en)
- Candidus Wizo, disciple d’Alcuin, est un philosophe et théologien vivant au VIIIe/IXe siècle durant la Renaissance carolingienne. Originaire d'Angleterre, il fait partie des élèves d'Alcuin. Il ne faut pas le confondre avec son contemporain Candide de Fulda, poète latin et biographe. Comme philosophe il fut un des premiers à avoir proposé une preuve de l'existence de Dieu. De même dans son œuvre philosophique, plutôt que de chercher des références bibliques, il se fonde sur la réflexion personnelle, séparant ainsi la philosophie de la théologie. Comme moraliste, dans son traité Expositio de passione Domini malgré le sujet de cet ouvrage consacré à la passion du Christ, Candidus Wizo y témoigne d'une certaine bienveillance à l'égard des Juifs. Pour lui, la crucifixion n'est pas un crime imputable éternellement aux Juifs, mais il est un forfait qui se trouve sans cesse répété par les mauvais chrétiens qui désobéissent à Dieu par leurs mauvaises actions.
