English translation of paper title: "Charles de Bovelles: Nature and Reason as Cognition's Outer and Inner Spaces." This paper explores the many spatial metaphors Charles de Bovelles uses in his epistemology, especially in relation to memory which he equates with the Aristotelian intellectus passibilis. On the whole, Bovelles thinks of three "containers": the world, the human body, and the soul. The world is the locus of all substances, Man the domicilium of all sciences. The world is also called the situm and repositum, while memory is termed the speculum, armarium, repositorum, or scrinium. In between is the human body acting as a claustrum or a middle armarium .
