    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 93 ) SOME SEVENTEENTH CENTURY LETTERS AND P E T I T I O N S EROM T H E M U N I M E N T S O F T H E DEAN A N D C H A P T E R O E C A N T E R B U R Y . EDITED BY 0. EVELEIGH WOODRUFF, M.A. INTRODUCTION THE thirty-two letters and petitions which, by the courtesy of the Dean and Chapter, I have been permitted to trans- cribe, and now to offer to the Kent Archasological Society for pubhcation, were written—with the exception of three or four—in the seventeenth century, on the eve of the troublous times which culminated in the overthrow of Church and King, or in the years immediately fohowing the restoration of the monarchy when deans and chapters, once more in possession of their churches, and estates, were reviving the worship and customs which had been for many years in abeyance. One letter, however, is of earher date than the seventeenth century and three are later. Thus number one is from the pen of Dr. Nicholas Wotton, the first dean of the New Eoundation. Wotton, who was much employed in affairs of state, did not spend much time at Canterbury. His letter, which is dated from London, February 11th, 1564-5, is addressed to his brethren the prebendaries of Canterbury, and its purport is to inform them that Sir Thomas Gresham has offered to build, at his own proper cost and charges, a new Royal Exchange in the city of London.

    Medieval Philosophy and Theology 8 (1999), 83–104. Printed in the United States of America. Copyright © 2000 Cambridge University Press 1057-0608 CORE Arguments, Texts, and Contexts: Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by eCommons@Cornell Anselm’s Argument and the Friars SCOTT MATTHEWS ANSELM’S ARGUM ENTSCOTT AND THEMATTHEW FRIARS S University of Stirling The contrast between the reception of Anselm’s Proslogion in the work of Bonaventure and in the work of Thomas Aquinas is often held up as a classic example of their competing intellectual assumptions. Some have located the intellectual prerequisites for the acceptance or rejection of Anselm’s argument in the prior acceptance of univocal or analogical ac- counts of being.1 P. A. Daniels argued that the prerequisites for Bonaven- ture’s acceptance of the argument were not his “ontological” mode of thought, or a doctrine of the innate idea of God within the soul, but in his acceptance of examplar causality.2 Half a century later, Jean Chattillon, following Étienne Gilson, affirmed the more common view of the issue, that the acceptance or rejection of Anselm’s argument among the first scholas- tics of the thirteenth century depended upon their allegiance to Augus- tinian or Aristotelian traditions.3 Anton Pegis did the same when he insisted that recovery of the Anselmian argument in its original form involved Many thanks are owed to John Clayton of Boston University, and to colleagues at Stirling who kindly read and commented on earlier drafts of this paper. In particular, I thank Brian Murdoch for his help with a German text, as well as the anonymous referees at Medieval Philosophy and Theology whose comments and criti- cisms were of considerable use.
