    ABSTRACTS Fiorella Retucci, «Magister Thomas Anglicus Minor». Tommaso di York fon- te dell’Expositio di Bertoldo di Moosburg, pp. 1–41 Berthold of Moosburg had the whole Sapientiale by Thomas of York con- stantly at hand when writing his commentary on Proclus. Even thought Ber- thold never refers by name to the English Franciscan except in his tabula auc- toritatum, where Thomas is registered as «Magister Thomas Anglicus minor», he quotes extensively and verbatim from the Sapientiale throughout his Expo- sitio of Proclus; astoundingly, Berthold quotes more from Thomas than he does from his Dominican predecessors in the Teutonic Province, Albert the Great, Ulrich of Strassburg and Dietrich of Freiberg. The following articles describes the presence of Thomas of York in Berthold of Moosburg’s Expositio super Elementationem theologicam. An appendix provides a systematic investigation of the relationship between the texts of the two authors. Keywords: Berthold of Moosburg; Expositio super Elementationem theologicam; Thomas of York; Sapientiale. Stefan Kirschner, Albertino Rinaldi da Salso on the Motion of Elements and Mixed Bodies in a Void, pp. 42–70 In his questio on the motion of elements and mixed bodies in a void the Italian 1145 professor of practical medicine, Albertino Rinaldi da Salso di Piacenza (Alb- ertinus de Rainaldis de Placentia, also known as Albertino da Piacenza), held the clearly non-Aristotelian view that an element in a void would not move instantaneously, but successively. To prove his conclusion Albertino draws to a large degree on arguments proposed by Richard Kilvington. Among the few 14th century authors who rejected Aristotle’s account of motion in a va- cuum Kilvington had presented the most thorough analysis of this subject.

Inaugural address on the occasion of his taking up the chair of Medieval philosophy of the Free University in Amsterdam on November 9, 1984. "There are certain basic words which form the undertone of our thinking and of the manner in which we experience things. These basic words are not unchangeable; they often receive a different content . One such basic word is 'truth'." This is the start of the report of the Synod of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, issued in 1981, "On the nature of the authority of Scripture".(1) How does it happen that the Bible is read so differently? In searching for an answer to this problem, the report adopts a course remarkable within the.

  • Forgetful Platonism: Misrepresenting Proclus and Twentieth-Century
    Misrepresenting Neoplatonism in Contemporary Christian Dionysian Polemic: Eriugena and Nicholas of Cusa versus Vladimir Lossky and Jean-Luc Marion American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 82:4 (2008): 683–703. Wayne Hankey Part I: From Eriugena to Nicholas of Cusa The Corpus Areopagiticum in Greek—or at least a part of it—circulated in Rome, probably from the time of Gregory the Great‘s Homily XXIV (592 or 593), but certainly from the middle of the seventh up to the second half of the ninth century.1 Nonetheless, there was no profound encounter by the Latins with the philosophical and mystical content of the corpus, until the translations by Hilduin and Eriugena consequent on its arrival at the Frankish court in 827.2 John the Scot‘s grasp and development of what the Areopagite passed on from his sources has only rarely been equalled. After Boethius, he was the first to draw together the Greek and Latin Platonists. Among the Latins, Augustine and Boethius, together with Ambrose, because, as Eriugena wrote, he so often followed the Greeks, were pre-eminent .3 He learned most from the Greek texts he translated—the Dionysian corpus, the Ambigua and Scoliae of Maximus the Confessor, and the De hominis opificio of Gregory of Nyssa—; what he took from the Latins was generally assimilated to their logic.4 His sources were so nearly exclusively Christian, and the texts so predominantly theological and mystical—despite such ―secular‖ and pagan authorities as the De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii of Martianus Capella from his Irish education5—that no real confrontation between Hellenic and Christian Neoplatonisms occurs for him.

  • New Perspectives on the Condemnation of 1277 and Its Aftermath
    NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE CONDEMNATION OF 1277 AND ITS AFTERMATH In 1996 Kent Emery and Andreas Speer announced a project of research devoted to the aftermath of the Condemnation of 1277, sponsored by the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame and the Thomas-Institut der Universität zu Köln1. Between 1997 and 1999 thirty-five European and American scholars held four meetings at Köln, Notre Dame and Tübingen. The Acts of these meetings have been published in 2001 under the title Nach der Verurteilung von 1277. Philosophie und Theologie an der Universität von Paris im letzen Viertel des 13. Jahrhunderts. Studien und Texte2. Not only for its impressive size (more than 1000 pages), this magnificently printed book is a major contribution to the history of later medieval thought. The essays collected and edited by the directors of this scholarly enter- prise (Jan Aertsen, Kent Emery and Andreas Speer) present careful, detailed and fine analysis of very important issues in different fields of philosophy and theology at the University of Paris between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries: psychology and gnoseology, nat- ural philosophy, metaphysics, ethics and, needless to say, the contro- versial topic of the relationship between theology and philosophy. Some articles are entirely devoted to the most outstanding thinkers of this period: Albert the Great (Henryk Anzulewicz), Thomas Aquinas (Joseph P. Wawrykow), Henry of Ghent (Christoph Kann, Kent Emery), Giles of Rome (Giorgio Pini), Godfrey of Fontaines (John F. Wippel), Thomas Sutton (Gyula Klima), Duns Scotus (B. Carlos 1. K. EMERY, A.

  • REBIRTH, REFORM and RESILIENCE Universities in Transition 1300-1700
    REBIRTH, REFORM AND RESILIENCE Universities in Transition 1300-1700 Edited by James M. Kittelson and Pamela J. Transue $25.00 REBIRTH, REFORM, AND RESILIENCE Universities in Transition, 1300-1700 Edited by James M. Kittelson and Pamela]. Transue In his Introduction to this collection of original essays, Professor Kittelson notes that the university is one of the few institutions that medieval Latin Christendom contributed directly to modern Western civilization. An export wherever else it is found, it is unique to Western culture. All cultures, to be sure, have had their intellec­ tuals—those men and women whose task it has been to learn, to know, and to teach. But only in Latin Christendom were scholars—the company of masters and students—found gathered together into the universitas whose entire purpose was to develop and disseminate knowledge in a continu­ ous and systematic fashion with little regard for the consequences of their activities. The studies in this volume treat the history of the universities from the late Middle Ages through the Reformation; that is, from the time of their secure founding, through the period in which they were posed the challenges of humanism and con­ fessionalism, but before the explosion of knowl­ edge that marked the emergence of modern science and the advent of the Enlightenment. The essays and their authors are: "University and Society on the Threshold of Modern Times: The German Connection," by Heiko A. Ober­ man; "The Importance of the Reformation for the Universities: Culture and Confessions in the Criti­ cal Years," by Lewis W. Spitz; "Science and the Medieval University," by Edward Grant; "The Role of English Thought in the Transformation of University Education in the Late Middle Ages," by William J.

These changes have :}uity'. been studied in many articles and book publications, most recently in the two-volume Handbook ofEuropean History 1400-1600.1 Some of the most interesting studies have shown - if we restrict ourselves to the transition from scholasticism to humanism - that scholasticism already bears humanist elements and that conversely humanism still carries with it scholastic attributes, an observation which mutatis mutandis also applies to many other changing areas of the period? The distinction, then, between scholasticism and humanism is not as strict as some of the standard works of intellectual history would have it. This is hardly surprising. Historical reality is always more complex than human concepts can express. To meet this complexity, the transition from scholasticism to humanism needs to be studied again and again, when new questions suggest themselves, and in the light of newly revealed or neglected scholastic sources. Only then can we begin to understand the complexities of intellectual history as it evolved in the late medieval and early modem period.3 For my part I would like to investigate the similarities and differences between scholasticism and northem humanism based on some interesting scholastic source materials, that in my view deserve closer attention and study.

This dissertation analyzes Gallus’s major works: his commentaries on the Song of Songs and the Corpus Dionysiacum (CD). I argue that Gallus’s mystical theology emerges from his analysis of constitutive theological tensions in the CD about God, language, and mystical perfection. That is, in navigating the CD’s conceptual apertures, Gallus is even more thoroughly Dionysian than has been previously estimated. At the same time, Gallus’s mystical theology is an original creation—distinctively Augustinian and Victorine, and informed by his complementary interpretation of the Song as depicting the union between the soul and the Word.

    03/05/2017 Influence of Arabic and Islamic Philosophy on the Latin West (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Influence of Arabic and Islamic Philosophy on the Latin West First published Fri Sep 19, 2008; substantive revision Tue Mar 18, 2014 The Arabic­Latin translation movements in the Middle Ages, which paralleled that from Greek into Latin, led to the transformation of almost all philosophical disciplines in the medieval Latin world. The impact of Arabic philosophers such as al­Fārābī, Avicenna and Averroes on Western philosophy was particularly strong in natural philosophy, psychology and metaphysics, but also extended to logic and ethics. Among the influential Arabic theories are: the logical distinction between first and second intentions; the intension and remission of elementary forms; the soul's faculty of estimation and its object, the intentions; the conjunction between human intellect and separate active intellect; the unicity of the material intellect (Averroism); naturalistic theories of miracles and prophecy; the eternity of the world and the concept of eternal creation; the active intellect as giver of forms; the first cause as necessary existent; the emanation of intelligences from the first cause; the distinction between essence and existence; the theory of primary concepts; the concept of human happiness as resulting from perfect conjunction of the human intellect with the active intellect. 1.

  • Eriugenism in Berthold of Moosburg's Expositio Superelementationemtheologicamprocli
    chapter 14 Eriugenism in Berthold of Moosburg’s Expositio super Elementationem theologicam Procli Evan King University of King’s College, Halifax The importance of sources transmitting the thought of John Scotus Eriugena for the Expositio super Elementationem theologicam Procli written by Berthold of Moosburg O.P. (sometime between 1327 and 1361) has been acknowledged among Berthold’s contemporary readers at least since 1974. In that year, Loris Sturlese and Paolo Lucentini published, respectively, critical editions of Berthold’s Expositio (Propositions 184–211) and the 12th-century Clavis physi- cae of Honorius Augustodunensis in the series Temi e testi.1 Eugenio Massa, as editor of the series, highlights the importance of their concurrent publication and offers insightful suggestions for situating Berthold within the broader cur- rents of medieval Eriugenism, especially in view of the theory of deification expounded in the Expositio.2 The name of Berthold of Moosburg has remained almost entirely absent from surveys of the subsequent reception of Eriugena’s thought.3 This is due perhaps to the provisional nature of judgements like Massa’s, which relied on only a partial edition of the Expositio. As of 2014, the eight-volume edition of the commentary is available in the Corpus Philosophorum Teutonicorum Medii Aevi.4 In 2013, Ezequiel Ludueña demonstrated the character and the extent of Berthold’s debt to Eriugenian sources in his doctoral dissertation for the Uni- versity of Buenos Aires.5 It is fitting that the first monograph-length study to 1 Berthold von Moosburg 1974 = De animabus; Honorius Augustodunensis 1974 = Clavis.
