Notes to Medieval Mereology. 1. Thirteenth- and fourteenth-century logicians take great pains to distinguish these different distributive functions of terms because they believe that this will help them to resolve a number of sophisms (sophismata).Some of these sophisms involve the terms “whole” and “part”.

But there are two places where the student of medieval mereology can reliably look to find sustained reflections on parts and wholes as such, namely, treatments of division and the Topics. The main authority on division and the Topics is the Roman philosopher Boethius (c. 480-524 C.E.).

Essentially, the medieval answer is that a part is either anything that is the product of a division or anything that composes something else. Accordingly, a whole is either anything that is divisible or anything that is composite.
