    Abstract of Monia Mancinelli's Work (RAMUS

    Abstract of Monia Mancinelli’s work (RAMUS PhD - curriculum FITMU, XXIX cicle – XV o. s.) Title: “The Principle of Individuation in Landulph Caracciolus’s commentary on the Sentences. Text and study”. This research is aimed at reconstructing and studying the sections of Landulph Caracciolus’s commentary on the Sentences dedicated to the principle of individuation. Landulph Caracciolus is a Franciscan friar coming from Naples who lived in the XIVth century and who lectured the Sentences at Paris in the academic year 1318-1319. Recently, Christopher D. Schabel has underlined that, despite its widespread popularity and the important context of its composition, however, Landulph’s commentary on the Sentences has largely been neglected. From 1999 Christopher D. Schabel and Russell L. Friedman have been promoting a larger attention to Landulph’s commentary, showing that the Franciscan friar can be an interesting mean to trace the story of the reception of Duns Scotus and Peter Auriol’s doctrines at the University of Paris during the first twenty years of the XIVth century. The question of the principle of the individuation is about the research of the existence and the identification of the element responsible for both ontological determination and knowledge of the single entity. The first chapter of this work shows that the question explodes during the XIIIth century thanks to the Aristotelian corpus and to Avicenna’s and Averroes’s works, and many thinkers try to offer a personal solution to the problem, offering six main competing theories: 1) real natures are individual as such (William of Ware); 2) double negation (Henry of Ghent); 3) actual existence (maybe Roger Bacon, Peter of Falco, Peter of Alverny or Robert Kilwardby); 4) the collection of personal accidents/properties (ascribed to Boethius), and particularly quantity (Godfrey of Fontaines and Thomas Sutton); 5) matter (Albert the Great, Thomas of Aquin and Giles of Rome); 6) respectus ad agens (unknown).
  • Tilly Goes to Church: the Religious and Medieval Roots of State Formation in Europe

    Tilly Goes to Church: the Religious and Medieval Roots of State Formation in Europe

    Tilly Goes to Church: The Religious and Medieval Roots of State Formation in Europe Anna Grzymala-Busse Stanford University August 31, 2020 Abstract How did the state arise in Europe? Canonical accounts argue that war made the state: inter state conflict led to taxation and state formation. These accounts focus on the early modern period and start with the territorial fragmentation as a given. Yet once we move back the analysis to the Middle Ages, a powerful actor appears: the Roman Catholic Church. The Medieval Church was a powerful rival to monarchs and rulers, challenging their sovereignty and the authority of nascent states, and deliberately fragmenting medieval Europe. It was also a rich source of human capital and administrative solutions, the building blocks of state institutions. Religious rivalry and emulation in the middle ages fundamentally shaped state formation in Europe. Very drafty version: Cite at your own risk Acknowledgments: I am grateful to Arun Advait and Hans Lueders for their expert research assistance. 1 1 Introduction How did the modern state arise? Charles Tilly's answer is as succinct as it is canonical: \war made the state and the state made war" (Tilly 1975, 42). In early modern Europe, violent rivalry among fragmented nascent states for territory and resources led them to tax their populations to extract resources. Rulers who succeeded in building up the administrative and military apparatus of war went on to consolidate their territorial gains and ensure the survival of their states. Yet pushing back the analysis a few centuries, to the Middle Ages, reveals new perspectives on this powerful and venerated \bellicist" account.

The early fourteenth century has become a particularly active area of research in medieval philosophy and theology in the last two decades. Interest in Oxford thought led the way. Building upon the earlier publication of the works of Richard Campsale, William of Ockham, and the Lectura Secunda of Adam Wodeham, we now have editions of the works of Walter Chatton and Henry of Harclay, and questions from Thomas Wylton, Walter Burley, Richard Fitzralph, and Thomas Bradwardine. As regards Paris, the ongoing critical edition of the opera omnia of John Duns Scotus and a portion of Peter Auriol’s commentary on the Sentences is now been followed by projects for critical editions of the rest of Auriol’s commentary and the Sentences commentaries of Durand of St. Pourçain, Francis of Marchia, and Gerard Odonis. Philosophical Debates brings together many of those who are leading the research field on Parisian thought in the early fourteenth century. The essays themselves are the result of a joint project between Stephen Brown at Boston College and Thomas Dewender at Bonn, who hosted two conferences on this theme at their respective institutions.

  • Ecclesiastical Patronage in Scotland in the Later

    Ecclesiastical Patronage in Scotland in the Later

    ECCLESIASTICAL PATRONAGE .... IN SCOTLAND IN THE LATER MIDDLE AGES By the Rev. George P. Innes, B.D., LL.B., Ph.D. In this paper we are concerned with one aspect of church patronage in the later Middle Ages namely, ; papal intervention in the disposal of benefices, or, more technically, with papal provisions. Opinion has reacted rather sharply against the older view which regarded papal provisions simply as 1 an abuse, like pluralism or non-residence. It was one aspect of the centralisation of church government which, initiated in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, had been continued into the later medieval period, and ran parallel to the growth of centralised power in the national states. It was centralisation applied to patronage, just as appeals to Rome, the use of judges-delegate and so forth represented centralisation as applied to the 2 judicial system. To what extent and for what ends did the papacy interfere with the ordinary processes of patron- age as exercised by the Crown, by lay magnates, by bishops and abbots and the local lairds ? We need be in no two minds about the importance of this subject. The question of papal provisions was not a side issue, but was one of the major issues in the relation between Church and State in the later medieval period. And papal patronage, with papal finance, was at the heart of the opposition that culminated in Protestantism. Dr. G. Barraclough has pointed out that during a few weeks in 1342, the Papal Curia at Avignon disposed of no less than one hundred thousand benefices.

    The portrait miniature of Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki on a Letter of Indulgence issued in 1449 for the Church of All Saints in Cracow Marek Walczak Illuminations in medieval documents have never been a subject of extensive research, because only a small number of them survived, and they are generally of poor artistic quality. For the same reason almost unknown are portrait miniatures in such carrier. The relatively greatest attention of researchers has been focussed on indulgence documents1, which had had a broad sphere of influence, owing to their wide dissemination among large audiences of the faithful.2 In Poland, a particularly interesting example is a document granting indulgences to all who would visit the parish church of All Saints in Cracow on the major feasts of the liturgical year, issued by the Cracow Bishop, Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki (1423–1450) in 1449 [Figs 1, 2].3 A piece of parchment of substantial size (75 × 44 cm) is adorned with a 1 Nikolaus Paulus Geschichte des Ablasses im Mittelalter vol.

    1 J. F. MEIRINHOS1 Was There a Portuguese Averroism in the 14Th

    1 Universalità della ragione. Pluralità delle Filosofia nel Medioevo XII Congresso SIEPM Palermo, 17-22 September 2007 J. F. MEIRINHOS1 Was there a Portuguese Averroism in the 14th Century? Alphonsus Dionisii and Thomas Scotus In 1852 Ernest Renan wrote in Averroès e l'averroïsme that «L’Espagne et le Portugal, où la scolastique s’est continué jusqu’à nos jours, virent aussi se prolonger plus longtemps l’autorité d’Averroès. Antonio a recueilli les éloges qui lui ont été donnés par un grand nombre de médecins espagnols et portugais. Il est pourtant jugé d’une manière fort sévère par les jésuites de Coïmbre.2» Renan made no further statement concerning the history of “Averroism” in Portugal, besides his comments on the extended duration of the authority of Averroes, whose origins and profile were uncertain and whose followers were unknown. This paper addresses the question of whether this particular kind of philosophy, “Averroism”, existed in Portugal during the 14th Century or, at least, whether it might have been present or in some way debated in this country. Admittedly, in the 14th Century the Portuguese university was not one of the great university centres, and we know of no philosophical or theological work that has been written in this context and period.3 Moreover, there are serious difficulties in clearly outlining Averroism as a philosophical school, or even in defining those theories which will have to be upheld for one master or author to be considered an averroist4.

    Revisión Historiográfica Del Concilio De Trento Manuel Teruel Gregorio De Tejada

    Revisión historiográfi ca del Concilio de Trento Manuel Teruel Gregorio de Tejada Resum La bibliografi a sobre el Concili de Trento és molt abundosa, particularment pel que fa als temes teològics i canònics, pero la que tracta dels aspectes his- tòrics és més modesta. S’ha parat poca atenció a la fenomenologia, als aspec tes externs (sociopolítics) i als que, tot i semblar només formals, són importants per a la seva comprensió. Tots poden explicar per què el Tridentí ha ocupat un lloc de primer ordre en la història quan va veure’s sacsejat pels aconteixe- ments. Després d’oferir un breu panorama historiogràfi c i descriure el període de gestació, llarg i confl ictiu, l’article s’ocupa d’altres varis aspectes: el lloc de la seva celebració, la denominació com a expresió de la seva pròpia naturalesa sinodal, la mecànica conciliar, el problema de la representativitat i ecumeni- citat, la recepció de les seves decisions. I acaba amb una síntesi de la seva apres- sada clausura, formulada signifi cativament en la butlla de confi rmació, amb el tema concomitant de la professió de fe jurada. Paraules clau: Concili de Trento, revisió historiogràfi ca, conciliarisme.
