8 on the Genuine Text of Peter of Spain's Summule Logicales L. M. DE RIJK III Two Redactions of a Commentary Upon the Summule By On The Genuine Text Peter of of Spain's Summule logicales L. M. DE RIJK III Two Redactions of a Commentary upon the Summule by Robertus Anglicus* n his academic conference about a number of manuscripts which I contain works of Peter of Spain' Msgr Grabmann pointed to a master named Robertus Anglicus as a commentator of the Summule logicales. Grabmann identified2 this master with Robert Kilwardby, who is named Robertus Anglicus, indeed, in the Chronicle of the Dominican Convent of Bologna3 and in some manuscripts as well.. However, this identification seems to be far from certain. Both manuscripts (Vatican Library Vat. Lat. 30¢9 and Todi, Biblioteca Comunale, MS 5"4; see below) call the author Robertus Anglicus without _frater. Therefore one might think of the composition of these commentaries as having taken place at some date before Robert Kilwardby's entrance into the Dominican Order.

In Venice,Biblioteca Marciana, VI 164 (308S), we find (f. 79 vb) Explicit; tractatus de relativis secundum fratremRobertum Anglicum ordinis predicatorum. GratiasDeo. I have seriousdoubts on Kilwardby'sauthority of this tract. In Oxford, MertonCollege, MS292 it is attributedto John of Siccavilla(f. 9+ va),while it is anonymousin the other manuscripts extant. Moreover,there is an interestingmarginal note in Assisi,Bibl. Antoniana MS is8, f.52r: in tractatude relationeI. de Siccavillaplus de materiaista. See A. G. Little and F. Pelster, Oxford Theologyand Theologians,Oxford 1934, p. 108, n. 3. - RecentlyI found in Sevilla(Biblioteca Capitulary Colombina)a manuscript containing Kilwardby'sSophismata gramaticalia with the contemporaneousexplicit (io4vb): ExplicitSuma gramaticalis cum argumentis Roberti Anglici (cod. - - - vm vrm c It 8 R.-M. Martin, suggested' that Robert took the Black Friars habit, be- tween 124.0 and i 245. So Grabmann's view that our commentaries were written between 124.8 and i 26i in the period when Robert Kilwardby was active as a professor in Paris and Oxford2 is certainly untenable, since in both manuscripts our author is named magister, not frater. Robert Kilwardby's activity as a magister artium must be dated in the 1220'S and i 2 3 o's. It is an unmistakable fact that, at that time, Peter of Spain's work was not yet used in the Parisian and Oxford circles3. So far there seems to be no reason to identify our magister Robertus Anglicus with Robert Kilwardby O.P. Grabmann only dealt with the Vatican manuscript Vat. Lat. ,049, which contains a commentary on Peter of Spain's Summule logicales, called there compilatio super tractatus (f. 8Irb). In a note (op. cit. p. 67, n. i) he referred to the Todi manuscript (Bibl. comunale, cod. S4) which, according to the catalogue of L. Leonij (Todi, 1878, p. 24), contains glosule composite a magistro Roberto Anglico upon the Summule logicales. Grabmann, who did not see the manuscript, knew only its incipit (Cum divinum auxilium sit teste Platone), and concluded4 from it that the Vatican and Todi manuscripts contain two different works. However, an analysis of both manuscripts will show that our manuscripts contain two different redactions of the same commentary by one master Robertus Anglicus on Peter of Spain's Summule logicales. - i The Commentary as contained in Vat. Lat. 3 049 This parchment manuscript of the Vatican Library measures 200 x i 40 mm. and has 8 2 folios. It seems to date from the end of the thirteenth or the beginning of the fourteenth century. Since our codex is part of the old stock of the Vaticani Latini (containing the Codices Vaticani Latini - i 6000), it must have been in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana as early as the sixteenth century. More information about its origin and entrance into the Vatican Library cannot be given so far.s The only work contained in this manuscript is the commentary on the Summule logicales. I R.-M.

Sullivan (1914-1999) Note: the author may be contacted at: Department of History Oberlin College Oberlin OH USA 44074 ISSN 0-708-319X ISBN 0-88844-721-3 © 2000 by Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies 59 Queen’s Park Crescent East Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 2C4 Printed in Canada nce upon a time there were two competing story-lines for medieval intellectual history, each writing a major role for scholasticism into its script. Although these story-lines were O created independently and reflected different concerns, they sometimes overlapped and gave each other aid and comfort. Both exerted considerable influence on the way historians of medieval speculative thought conceptualized their subject in the first half of the twentieth cen- tury. Both versions of the map drawn by these two sets of cartographers illustrated what Wallace K. Ferguson later described as “the revolt of the medievalists.”1 One was confined largely to the academy and appealed to a wide variety of medievalists, while the other had a somewhat narrower draw and reflected political and confessional, as well as academic, concerns. The first was the anti-Burckhardtian effort to push Renaissance humanism, understood as combining a knowledge and love of the classics with “the discovery of the world and of man,” back into the Middle Ages. The second was inspired by the neo-Thomist revival launched by Pope Leo XIII, and was inhabited almost exclusively by Roman Catholic scholars.

What of the man himself? He is often considered a man who was withdrawn from society and is thought to have merely sat alone in his cell, writing famous religious works. However, this is not the case. The events in his life, the activities in which he partook, and the character o f the man himself would not allow for Aquinas to be a man of reclusion. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to prove that Thomas Aquinas was not a recluse. To begin, let us first recognize where most of our information on Thomas Aquinas derives from.

  • 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.

  • An Essay in Praise of Scholastic Theology
    Lumen et Vita 9:1 (2018), doi 10.6017/lv.v9i1.10874 An Essay in Praise of Scholastic Theology Austin Holmes Boston College School of Theology and Ministry (Brighton, MA) Abstract This essay attempts to give the Scholastic Theology of the High Middle Ages due praise by inhab- iting its beautiful intellectual architecture. Among the core features observed are Scholasticism’s method- ological vitality explained as an exegetical-humility with patristic roots, the animating principle of desire for union with God, and a conception of Christian doctrine as fundamental to the divine work of human salvation. Rather than engage directly with Scholasticism’s fashionable modern enemies, the essay pro- ceeds in successive steps as a lectio magistrorum (“reading of the masters”). Anslem of Canterbury, Hugh of St. Victor, Peter Abelard, Bonaventure, and Thomas Aquinas represent the primary sources of interest. The goal is simply to generate reconsideration of medieval theology through an introduction to atypically studied aspects of a few figures. Text A few introductory remarks are in order. An essay in praise of Scholastic theology is one thing; an essay in defense of Scholastic theology is quite another. Moreover, any attempt to limit the value of Scholastic theology to its achievements in contradistinction to, say, liberation or fem- inist theology would crumble from the category of praise into the less savory territory of a deriv- ative exercise in compare and contrast. Since the siege of Scholasticism enjoys such popularity, its admirers are prone to weaponize its corpus as a countermeasure. There is an occasion for this, though undoubtedly such efforts miss the heart of Scholasticism as a consequence of allowing modernity to command the investigation.

  • José Meirinhos* a Project on Petrus Hispanus
    José Meirinhos* A Project on Petrus Hispanus: Edition and Study of the Attributed Works The name of Petrus Hispanus is surely the most important one in connection with medieval Portuguese culture. According to the tradition he was active in the mid-13th century, with an extensive corpus of attributed works, including ones on Logic, Natural Philosophy, Psychology, Zoology, Medicine, Alchemy, and Mysticism, as well as Sermons. During the Middle Ages and the early modern period, some of these works had an extraordinary influence and wide diffusion. Among other works attributed to Petrus Hispanus are: the first Latin Commentary on Aristotle’s De anima; the most extensive and detailed treatise on the soul written in Latin; one of the earliest commentaries, if not the very first, on the core zoological works of Aristotle, the De animalibus; the most popular Logic textbook ever written, with hundreds of manuscripts and editions, used in almost all continental universities from the 14th to the 16th centuries; the most popular medical prescriptions book, still in use by the end of the 17th century; one of the most extensive commentaries on the Articella, a changing set of Greek and Arabic works that were of key importance in medical university education from the 13th century onwards. According to the historiographical tradition, the philosopher and scientist credited with such a vast and influential work, after a political and ecclesiastical career in Portugal and at the papal curia, ended his days in the * Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, Via Panorâmica s/n; 4150-564 Porto.

  • Heidegger's Lehrjahre
    The Collegium Phaenomenologicum: The First Ten Years [Phaenomenologica 105]. Eds. John C. Sallis, Giuseppina Moneta, & Jacques Taminiaux. Dordrecht: Kluwer, 1988. Heidegger's Lehrjahre THOMAS SHEEHAN Loyola University of Chicago For Prof. Otto Poggeler 1. HEIDEGGER'S Habilitation By July of 1915 the young Dr. Martin Heidegger was ready to apply for a license to teach at Freiburg University.1 Two years earlier, in the summer of 1913, he had obtained the doctorate in philosophy with his inaugural dis­ sertation, The Doctrine ofJudgment in Psychologism. He had then set to work on his qualifying dissertation (Habilitationsschrift), but events had conspired to interrupt him. On August 1, 1914 the First World War broke out, and between August and October Heidegger was in and out of active military service twice, both times with Infantry Reserve Battalion 113, once as a volunteer (ca. August 2-10,1914) and once as a draftee (October 9-20,1914). In both cases he was dismissed for reasons of health. 2 By the spring of 1915 Heidegger, then twenty-five years of age, had man­ aged to finish his qualifying dissertation, Duns Scotus' Doctrine of Categories and Meaning, 3 under the directorship of Professor Heinrich Rickert.4 (Husserl was still at Gottingen and would begin teaching in Freiburg as Rickert's successor only in the spring of 1916). On Friday, July 2, 1915, Heidegger formally presented the work to the Philosophy Department for their approval, and in an accompanying letter he petitioned for a qualifying examination: Freiburg in Breisgau July 2,1915 To the Esteemed Philosophy Department of the University of Freiburg.

  • St. Thomas and the Sacred Passion
    ST. THOMAS AND THE SACRED PASSION WILLIAM SEAVER, O.P. "If anyone considers from a pious motive the fitness of the passion and the death of Christ, he will find such a profundity of knowledge that continuously more and greater thoughts come to him."l T. THOMAS was not, of course, speaking of himself when he wrote these words in his apologetical work Concerning 11 the Reasons for the Faith. But if we do apply them to him personally, we gain an invaluable insight into his spiritual life and, in addition, the striking organic development of his writings on the subject of the sacred passion becomes much more meaningful to us. The primary "pious motive ·• underlying St. Thomas' con­ sideration of Christ's sacred passion and death was a desire to penetrate ever more deeply into the abyss of divine love. Al­ though the entire redemptive plan was the work of love, that love reached its breathtaking climax in the sufferings and death endured by the God-Man on Calvary. This lavish outpouring of divine love evoked a corresponding love in the heart of Aquinas which found its expression in a lifelong contemplation of Christ's cross. Since all his writings and preaching on the sacred passion derived from such loving contemplation, love is then both their font and unifying theme. That the holy Doctor's pious consideration of Christ's pas­ sion and death yielded "continuously more and greater thoughts" is abundantly verified in his writings. His first major theological work, written as a Bachelor at the University of Paris was a commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard.
