THE EDITION OF 1590. AN edition of part of the contents of this volume was published at Oxford in 1590 under the title: Libellus Rogerii Baconi Angli, Doctissimi Mathematici et media, De retardandis senectutis accidentibus et de sensibus conservandis [with another treatise] affixis ad marginem notulis illustratus etemendatus... opera Johannis Williams Oxoniensis . Oxoniae. Ex Officina Typographica losephi Barnesii Anno Dom. 1590. After a dedication to Sir Christopher Hatton, Chancellor of the University, John Williams explains his method in an address 'ad lectorem': Cum ante quadriennium in quaedam mathematica et medica Rogerij Baconi Angli doctissimi opuscula Cambriae incidissem, ea avide per- volvi, placuerunt: cum alijs exemplaribus quaedam contuli, convenerunt: doctis quibusdam Academicis ostendi, suaserunt vt mea opera excu- derentur. Inter reliqua, hunc de retardanda senectute libellum (eius Perspectiva annuente Deo, commentariolo illustraturus) selegi, nonnulla exemplaria hinc inde coacervavi; in omnibus idem fuit sensus, quamvis nori idem penitus sermo. Illud exemplar magis placuit, in quo minor fuit cum alijs quibusdam eius operibus in lucem aeditis styli dissimili- tude. Quaedam ociosae repetitiones et soloecismi irrepserunt, expunxi; plurima antiquorum testimonia passim spargebantur, pleraque ad mar- ginem affixi: de sensu nihil abstuli, nihil addidi: paucissima in dictione, eaque quae nee philosophia, nee tanto philosopho digna videbantur, mutavi. He divides the treatise into sixteen chapters, and gives the sense of the original with fidelity. In thirty-one closely printed pages he gives the substance of what is contained in pp. 1-80 and 87-99 °f the present edition. Parts are very freely abbreviated. Thus pp. V1I1 71-80 of this edition are summarized by John Williams in less than a page (p. 27) and pp. 87-99 °f this edition are compressed by him into some four pages. It was Williams's edition which was translated by Richard Browne under the title The Cure of Old Age and Preservation of Youth by Roger Bacon a Franciscan Frier> London, 1683. Some forty years before Williams published his edition, Michael ' Securis' or Hatchett, M.D., of Salisbury, prepared a paraphrase with commentary of Bacon's De retardatione Senectutis, at the request of his friend Thomas Candel (who wrote to him from Windsor Castle in 1547). The work exists in manuscript in MS. Digby 202 with other medical treatises compiled by Dr. Michael Hatchett. ii. MANUSCRIPTS COLLATED FOR THE PRESENT EDITION.

I. MANUSCRITS 1-50. Introducció El restabliment a Girona d’estudis universitaris i la constitució formal de la Universitat de Girona a fi nals del segle XX ha estat un fet transcendent en la vida de la ciutat. Fa poc, a principis del segle XXI, s’ha produït un altre fet que tindrà conseqüències semblants: la reunió i la gestió en un mateix edifi ci dels arxius i de les biblioteques eclesiàstiques gironines: Arxiu de la Catedral, Arxiu Diocesà, Arxiu de Sant Feliu, Arxius Parroquials, Biblioteca de la Catedral, Biblioteca de Sant Feliu, Biblioteca Diocesana del Seminari de Girona. La nostra afi rmació, només aparentment parcial, no és el fruit de cap encegament. És la conseqüència d’haver pogut constatar que la documentació eclesiàstica gironina és el fi l que guia, acompanya i molt sovint aclareix la tra- jectòria històrica de les comarques que formen un bisbat més que mil·lenari. Durant segles aquesta documentació ha estat conservada en establiments independents i descoordinats. La decisió d’aplegar-la sota un mateix sostre i una mateixa direcció és un fet que marca diverses fi tes. Finalment, l’Església gironina adopta una política sobre el seu patrimoni documental, un criteri de gestió, una projecció cap a la societat. Els quatre arxius eclesiàstics gironins són potents —cal dir-ho?— i la biblioteca diocesana resultant de la juxtaposició de les tres anteriorment esmentades és rica de fons antics; l’accés organitzat a tals fons posa en mans dels investigadors i dels estudiants una massa documental de primer orde, al costat de l’Arxiu Municipal, de l’Arxiu Històric de Girona i de la Biblioteca Carles Rahola de Girona.

    OPERA OMNIA SANCTI THOMAE AQUINATIS -----oOo----- Textum electronicum praeparavit et indexavit Ricardo M. Rom n, S. R. E. Presbyterus Bonis Auris, MCMXCVIII |*EVANGELIUM_MATTHAEI SUPER EVANGELIUM MATTHAEI |+0_Prologus |#0 Prooemium Matthaeus ex Iudaea etc.. Evangelio Matthaei Hieronymus praemittit prologum, in quo tria facit: primo enim ipsum auctorem describit; secundo evangelii mysteria aperit, ibi duorum in generatione Christi principia praesumens; tertio suam intentionem ostendit, ibi nobis autem in hoc studio argumenti fuit. Auctorem vero ipsum describit ex quatuor: primo ex nomine, cum dicit Matthaeus; secundo ex origine, cum dicit ex Iudaea; tertio ex scribendi ordine, ibi sicut in ordine primus ponitur; quarto ex vocatione, ibi, cuius vocatio ad Dominum, idest ad Christum etc.. De hoc Matth. IX, 9 et Luc. V, 27. Et nota quod Glossa interlinearis, quae dicit: primus, idest ante quem nullus etc., videtur velle, quod alii post Matthaeum scripserint in Iudaea, quod non est verum: solus enim Matthaeus scripsit in Iudaea, Marcus in Italia, Lucas in Achaia, Ioannes in Asia. Consequenter ipsius evangelii mysteria aperit. Et primo aperit mysteria circa principium evangelii; secundo ostendit eadem mysteria requirenda esse et in medio, et in fine, ibi in quo evangelio utile est etc.. In principio autem evangelii duo tanguntur. Primo ponitur quasi quidam titulus, cum dicitur, liber generationis; secundo generationis cuiusdam series describitur, cum dicitur, Abraham genuit Isaac etc.. Primo ergo ponit mysteria tituli, vel quae tanguntur in titulo; secundo mysteria generationis, ibi sicque quaterdenario. In titulo autem dicitur liber generationis Jesu Christi; ubi tanguntur duo principia, scilicet David et Abraham. Et hoc quia Abrahae prius datum est praeceptum de circumcisione; ad Rom.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Kingdom of God In
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Kingdom of God in the Gospel Commentaries of St. Thomas Aquinas: Historical, Ecclesiastical and Eschatological Dimensions A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of the Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Matthew L. Martin Washington, D.C. 2016 The Kingdom of God in the Gospel Commentaries of St. Thomas Aquinas: Historical, Ecclesiastical and Eschatological Dimensions Matthew L. Martin, Ph.D. Director: Joshua C. Benson, Ph.D. The preaching of the Gospel opens with the proclamation that the Kingdom of God is at hand. For two millennia, Christian theologians have been exploring the depths of that proclamation through reflection on both the Scriptures and on their great predecessors in the tradition. St. Thomas Aquinas stands as one of the greatest theologians of the Church but his understanding of the Kingdom has not been a major subject of investigation. Instead, Thomas’ thought on the subject has been ignored or criticized. When it has been addressed, it has been approached almost entirely from the direction of Aquinas as a systematic theologian or philosopher, rather than as an interpreter of Scripture. The Biblical commentaries of Thomas have only recently experienced a resurgence of scholarly interest, and while many great scholars have produced fine work on numerous topics, few have yet turned to the Kingdom. This dissertation seeks to correct that lacuna by examining the Kingdom in the light of Aquinas' scriptural works, especially his commentary on the Gospel of Matthew.

  • Acqueline Lllio Appendix 10 MARGARET's DECREES
    MlIRGRRST Q~-n_cfS• · acqueline lllio Appendix 10 MARGARET'S DECREES Until her son, William II, reached the age of majority in late 1171, most of the decrees issued in his name made mention of Margaret as regent. What follow are translated extracts from four of the very few royal charters from the regency that have survived into modern times. An effort was made to ren­ der these in a style slightly more succinct and clear than the verbose Latin. The essential format of the royal decrees varied very little during Margaret's regency.444 Issued in February 1169, the first decree grants Matthew of Aiello the right to establish a convent for nuns on his prop­ erty on high ground in Palermo's Saqaliba district (corrupted into Carrabule in the Latin text). Completed two years later, this was the Benedictine convent that came to be known as "Saint Mary of the Latins," and later "Saint Mary of the Chancellor," erected along what is now Via del Celso between Vicolo Ra­ gusi and the aptly-named Vicolo del Gran Cancelliere (a school now stands on the site). This charter was sealed with the pres­ tigious gold seal reserved for use with the most important royal documents, typically those addressing questions of policy, diplomacy or the general populace; the other charters extracted here bore the more common lead seal. Issued in May of the same year, the second decree confirms 409 :tv1ARGARET, QUEEN OF SICILY a privilege granted by John of Aiello, Bishop of Catania, for the Monastery of the Holy Savior of Mount Calanna.

Dissertation Abstract William Paul Lundell Doctor of Philosophy, 1996 Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto Carthusian Policy and the Council of Basel In its long struggle with Popes Eugenius IV (i1447) and Nicholas V (t1455) the Council of Base1 enjoyed widespread support among regular and mendicant clergy throughout northern Europe. Such support was particularly strong among Carthusians, a number of whom became forceful advocates of religious reform under the aegis of conciliar authority. This thesis examines the response of the order and of prominent Carthusians to this struggle and its consequences, a subject that has attracted little more that notice and brief comment in the literature of conciliarism and reform.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace ( Iustitia et pax) A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Sacred Theology © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Andrew Small Washington, D.C. 2010 The Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace ( Iustitia et pax) Rev. Andrew Small, OMI, LL.M., S.T.D. Director: Rev. Brian V. Johnstone, C.SS.R., S.T.D. A central tenet of the aggiornamento undertaken by the Second Vatican Council was the Church’s role in and relationship to the modern world. Pope John XXIII’s call for a “pastoral” Council reached a new level of intensity in the Council’s debates on the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et spes . As if to acknowledge the inchoate nature of the Church’s new vision for its role in the world, the Pastoral Constitution mandated creation of a new organism of the universal Church that would extend reflection and action on the Church’s social engagement beyond the Council. This mandate, contained in article 90 of Gaudium et spes would become the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace. This dissertation examines the history and theological foundations of the process leading to this decision, focusing on the development of the theology of the Church’s relationship with the world during the Council itself and the immediate aftermath.
