According to his contemporary, Hieronymus, Augustine re-established an ancient faith. , he helped formulate the doctrine of original sin and made a significant contribution to the development of the theory of simple war. When the Western Roman Empire began to disintegrate, Augustine represented the Church as the spiritual City of God, as opposed to the material earthly city. His thoughts had a profound impact on the medieval worldview. The segment of the Church, which adhered to the concept of the Trinity, as defined by the Nicae Cathedral and the Cathedral of Constantinople, was closely identified with Augustine on the Trinity. Augustine recognized catholic in the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Anglican Community. He is also a Catholic doctor of the Church and patron of the Aug. His memorial is celebrated on August 28, the day of his death. Augustine is the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, as well as a number of cities and dioceses. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists and Lutherans, consider him one of the theological fathers of the Protestant Reformation because of his teachings on salvation and divine grace. Protestant reformers in general, and Martin Luther in particular, held Augustine as a prize among the early fathers of the Church. Luther was a member of the Order of the Order of the August Heremits from 1505 to 1521. In the East, his teachings are more controversial and were particularly attacked by John Romanids. But other theologians and figures of the Eastern Orthodox Church have shown considerable approval of his works, mainly By Georgi Florowski. The most controversial doctrine associated with it, the philioc, was rejected by the Orthodox Church. Other controversial teachings include his views on original sin, doctrine of grace, and predestination. However, although it is considered erroneous on some counts, it is still considered holy and has influenced some of the eastern church's fathers, most notably Gregory Palamas. In the Orthodox Church, his holiday is celebrated on June 15. Historian Diarmaid McCulloch wrote: Augustine's influence on Western Christian thought cannot be overestimated; only his favorite example, Paul Tarsus, was more influential, and Westerners tended to see Paul through Augustine's eyes. Background of life Augustine Hippo (/ɔːˈɡʌstɪn/, /əˈɡʌstɪn/, or /ˈɔːɡʌstɪn/; 36 Latin: Aurelius Augustine Hipponensis; November 13, 354 -28 August 430 AD), also known as St. Augustine or St. Austen, is known to various cogomes in many denominations of the Christian world, including Blessed Augustine and Dr. Grace (Latin: Dr. Gratiae). Hippo Regius, where Augustine was a bishop, was in present-day Annabe, Algeria. The childhood and education of Saint Augustine, taken to The School of Saint Monica. Niccolo di Pietro 1413-15 Augustine was born in 354 AD in the municipality of Tagaste (now Suk Ahras, Algeria) in the Roman province of Numindia. His mother, Monica or Monnica, was a devout Christian; his father Patricia was a pagan who converted to Christianity on his deathbed. He had a brother named Navii and a sister whose name was lost but usually remembered as Perpetua. Scientists generally agree that Augustine and his family were Berbers, an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa, but were heavily romanticized, speaking only in Latin at home as matter pride and dignity. In his writings Augustine leaves some information about the consciousness of his African heritage. For example, he calls Puglia the most famous of us Africans, Pontician as our countryman because he's African, and Faust Milewski as an African gentleman. Augustine's surname, Aurelius, suggests that his father's ancestors were freed from the Aurelia genes and obtained full Roman citizenship by decree of Caracalla in 212. Augustine's family was Roman, legally, for at least a century when he was born. It is assumed that his mother, Monica, was of Berber descent, based on her name, but since his family was honest, the upper class of citizens known as honorary men, Augustine's first language was probably Latin. At the age of 11, Augustine was sent to school in Madaurus (now M'Dauruch), a small Numidi town about 31 km south of Tagaste. There he is familiar with Latin literature, as well as pagan beliefs and practices. His first understanding of the nature of sin came when he and several friends stole fruit they didn't want from a nearby garden. He talks about it in his autobiography Confession. He remembers stealing fruit not because he was hungry, but because it was forbidden. His very nature, he said, was imperfect. It was a foul and I loved it. I loved my mistake - not what I made a mistake for, but the mistake itself. From this case he came to the conclusion that man is naturally prone to sin and needs the grace of Christ. At the age of 17, thanks to the generosity of his fellow Romanian, Augustine went to Carthage to continue his education in rhetoric, although it was above the financial means of his family. Despite his mother's good warnings, Augustine lived a hedonistic lifestyle for some time, connecting with young people who bragged about their sexual exploits. The need to get them adopted forced inexperienced boys like Augustine to seek or invent stories about sexual experiences. It was when he was a student in Carthage that he read the dialogue of Cicero Hortensius (now lost), which he described as leaving a lasting impression, enkindling in his heart a

  • Nuremberg Chronicle Recycles a Pre-Christian Idea Paul Gross*
    ERROR TOWARDS JUDGEMENT. HOW THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE RECYCLES A PRE-CHRISTIAN IDEA PAUL GROSS* Resumo: Ainda que firmemente baseada numa doutrina cristã, aCrónica de Nuremberga de 1493 abre com uma enumeração de ideias opostas relativamente à origem do mundo e do Homem. Esta primeira passagem é, porém, desde logo rotulada como sendo um erro. Contudo, enquanto o narrador estabelece uma verdade universal, outro erro surge proeminentemente como parte da dimensão factual da crónica. Através da análise intermedial dos textos e de xilogravuras, o presente texto pretende investigar então a forma como este incu- nábulo expõe uma variedade de inverdades com o eventual intuito de integrar uma destas na sua ideologia. Palavras-chave: Crónica do mundo; Incunábulo; Intermedialidade; Early New High German. Abstract: Although firmly grounded in Christian doctrine, the 1493Nuremberg Chronicle opens with an enu- meration of conflicting ideas regarding the origin of the world and of mankind. This initial passage is quickly and effectively done away with by being labelled erroneous. However, while the narrator continues to estab- lish a universal truth, one of the errors reappears, prominently, as part of the chronicle’s facticity. Through the intermedial analysis of texts and woodcuts the paper investigates how the incunable exposes a multitude of falsehoods to eventually integrate one of them into its ideology. Keywords: World chronicle; Incunable; Intermediality; Early New High German. Although firmly grounded in Christian doctrine, the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle opens with an enumeration of conflicting ideas regarding the origin of the world and of man- kind. This initial passage is quickly and effectively done away with by being labelled erro- neous.

  • 1 a Place Is Carefully Constructed: Reading the Nuremberg Cityscape
    A Place is Carefully Constructed: Reading the Nuremberg Cityscape in the Nuremberg Chronicle Kendra Grimmett A Sense of Place May 3, 2015 In 1493 a group of Nuremberg citizens published the Liber Chronicarum, a richly illustrated printed book that recounts the history of the world from Creation to what was then present day.1 The massive tome, which contains an impressive 1,809 woodcut prints from 645 different woodblocks, is also known as the Nuremberg Chronicle. This modern English title, which alludes to the book’s city of production, misleadingly suggests that the volume only records Nuremberg’s history. Even so, I imagine that the men responsible for the book would approve of this alternate title. After all, from folios 99 verso through 101 recto, the carefully constructed visual and textual descriptions of Nuremberg and its inhabitants already unabashedly favor the makers’ hometown. Truthfully, it was common in the final decades of the fifteenth century for citizens’ civic pride and local allegiance to take precedence over their regional or national identification.2 This sentiment is strongly stated in the city’s description, which directly follows the large Nuremberg print spanning folios 99 verso and 100 recto (fig. 1). The Chronicle specifies that although there was doubt whether Nuremberg was Franconian or Bavarian, “Nurembergers neither wished to be 1 Scholarship on the Nuremberg Chronicle is extensive.

Malebranche's Augustinianism and the Mind's Perfection Abstract This dissertation presents a unified interpretation of Malebranche’s philosophical system that is based on his Augustinian theory of the mind’s perfection, which consists in maximizing the mind’s ability to successfully access, comprehend, and follow God’s Order through practices that purify and cognitively enhance the mind’s attention. I argue that the mind’s perfection figures centrally in Malebranche’s philosophy and is the main hub that connects and reconciles the three fundamental principles of his system, namely, his occasionalism, divine illumination, and freedom. To demonstrate this, I first present, in chapter one, Malebranche’s philosophy within the historical and intellectual context of his membership in the French Oratory, arguing that the Oratory’s particular brand of Augustinianism, initiated by Cardinal Bérulle and propagated by Oratorians such as Andre Martin, is at the core of his philosophy and informs his theory of perfection. Next, in chapter two, I explicate Augustine’s own theory of perfection in order to provide an outline, and a basis of comparison, for Malebranche’s own theory of perfection.

  • Predication and the Problem of Universals Catherine Legg
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Commons@Waikato Philosophical Papers Vol. 30, No. 2 (July 2001): 117-143 Predication and the Problem of Universals Catherine Legg Abstract: This paper contrasts the scholastic realists of David Armstrong and Charles Peirce. It is argued that the so-called 'problem of universals' is not a problem in pure ontology (concerning whether universals exist) as Armstrong construes it to be. Rather, it extends to issues concerning which predicates should be applied where, issues which Armstrong sets aside under the label of 'semantics', and which from a Peircean perspective encompass even the fundamentals of scientific methodology. It is argued that Peir ce's scholastic realism not only presents a more nuanced ontology (distinguishing the existent front the real) but also provides more of a sense of why realism should be a position worth fighting for. ... a realist is simply one who knows no more recondite reality than that which is represented in a true representation. C.S. Peirce Like many other philosophical problems, the grandly-named 'Problem of Universals' is difficult to define without begging the question that it raises. Laurence Goldstein, however, provides a helpful hands-off denotation of the problem by noting that it proceeds from what he calls The Trivial Obseruation:2 The observation is the seemingly incontrovertible claim that, 'sometimes some things have something in common'.

Within the chronicle, allegations of Jewish ritual murder rested alongside classical sources in various languages, including Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. Matthew Paris’s Chronica Majora and Allegations of Jewish Ritual Murder David A. Meier, Dickinson State University Allegations of Jewish ritual murder in medieval European chronicles rested alongside classical sources in various languages, including Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. Hartmann Schedel’s Weltchronik 1493 (2001) depicted Simon of Trent’s alleged murder by the local Jewish community in 1475 in a manner that mirrored alleged Jewish ritual murders in England in 1144 and 1255.1 Between 1144 and 1493, allegations of Jewish ritual murder spread and flourished. Matthew Paris’s Chronica Majora emerged at historical crossroads where allegations of Jewish ritual murder spread beyond England and into continental Europe. Before the century finished in 1290, England had expelled its Jewish population inspiring many regions on the continent to follow suit in the coming years.2 In offering a written record, chroniclers bridged narrative history from ancient times (largely Biblical) with contemporary culture, history, society, politics and nascent legal systems, employed, in turn, by both church and state in the High Middle Ages.
