INTRODUCTION A COMMON MODEL OF THE HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In the world of medieval studies 1974 marked the seven-hundredth anniversary of the death of Thomas Aquinas. Throughout the year academics gathered to celebrate at different sites around the world. Thirty-five medievalists of international renown commemorated the occasion by writing papers that were published by the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto, founded by Etienne Gilson in 1929 as the first academic institute devoted solely to research into the European Middle Ages. In 1974 Gilson was still Director of Studies at the Institute, even though he had departed for France in 1972 never to return. A number of his early students were on staff, including the following historians of medieval philosophy: Armand Maurer (1915-), Joseph Owens (1908-), Anton Pegis (1905-1978), John Quinn (1925-1996), and Edward Synan (1918-1997), all of whom contributed papers to the volumes commemorating the anniversary of Aquinas's death. The cumulative publications of these scholars represent a sizable share of the Pontifical Institute's extraordinary contribution to the historiography of medieval philosophy during the first forty-five years of its existence.1 The 1974 commemoration was not just a tribute to a great medieval thinker, but also to an academic insti­ tution, its founder, and its role in the recovery of medieval philos­ ophy. The scale of this celebration is also of interest for another rea­ son: Aquinas was not the only great Latin medieval thinker to die in 1274. Bonaventure also died that year, yet the Pontifical Institute 1 James Weisheipl was also on staff and contributed a paper to the commem­ oration of Aquinas, but he had studied at St. Thomas in Rome and at Oxford; thus not with Gilson. Other important historians of medieval philosophy at the Institute included Gerald Phelan (1892-1965), Ignatius Theodor Eschmann (1898- 1968), Laurence Κ. Shook (1909-1993), and Reginald O'Donnell (1907-1988). There are also a number of historians who were trained at the Institute but went to work elsewhere, including William B. Dunphy (1926-) across the lawn at the University of St. Michael's College and Vernon Bourke (1907-), George P. Klubertanz (1912-1972), and Robert Henle (1909-), all of whom worked at the Jesuit University of St. Louis (McCool 1988, 742-743). 2 INTRODUCTION of Mediaeval Studies did not mark his death in any comparable manner.2 Why would Gilson's institute, which had been the site of so much research into medieval philosophy, celebrate Aquinas on such a grand scale and not Bonaventure? Gilson states in the foreword to the two volumes of papers pub­ lished in 1974 why Aquinas is philosophically important. Even though Gilson is often remembered today for his claim that the dis­ tinction between essence and existence is central to Aquinas's phi­ losophy, it is not that point on which he focuses. He contrasts Aquinas's view of scientific knowledge with that of Descartes, grant­ ing Aquinas philosophical praise for upholding a form of realism in which knowledge conforms to its object.3 Aquinas's realism, according to Gilson, allows each science to be grounded in the objects that it studies, rather than in any Cartesian universalizing features of rationality. Gilson's epistemological and metaphysical interest in Aquinas is one of the key philosophical reasons why he came to single out Aquinas, and not Bonaventure, as the significant medieval thinker. But, as we shall see, there are moral, political, and theological reasons as well. One of the claims I will make in this inquiry is that individuals and institutions have influenced the writ­ ing of the history of medieval philosophy for moral, political, and theological reasons. I begin with a brief account of the influence that Gilson's institute had on my view of the history of medieval philosophy in order to provide an example of the methodology I use to discuss the moral, political, and theological considerations behind our historiography of medieval philosophy. In 1974 I was introduced to the world of medieval philosophy as an undergraduate at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. Medieval thinkers are notorious for their prodigious works. Even if a person were to concentrate on the works of just one prolific thinker he or she would be confronted with an overwhelming mass of material. Scholars can develop reputations for having read all the 2 The Institute's John Quinn contributed to the seventh centenary of the death of Bonaventure by publishing his monumental study of the philosophy of Bonaventure in 1973, his Hutoncal Constitution of St. Bonaventure's Philosophy (Quinn 1973), an article in the Pontifical tribute to Aquinas: "Certitude of Reason and Faith in St. Bonaventure and St. Thomas" (Quinn 1974a), and one in the Franciscan tribute to Bonaventure: "St. Bonaventure's fundamental conception of natural law" (Quinn 1974b). 3 (Maurer 1974, 1: 9-10) For a discussion of Gilson's metaphysical realism with­ in the historical context, see Hankey 1985, 94-97,126-127. .

American Historians and German Medieval Scholarship: A Comment Otto Gerhard Oexle Preface For the first time since the founding of the German Historical Institute in 1987, the topic of the 1995 Annual Lecture addressed the German Middle Ages—as perceived through American eyes. We invited two distinguished scholars from the United States and Germany, and their presentations made this evening a truly special event. In his lecture, Professor Patrick J. Geary traced the influence of German medievalists, especially their methods and historiography, on American academia. During the second half of the nineteenth century, German scholarship came to be regarded as an exemplary model, owing to its scholarly excellence. However, within a few decades, German medieval scholarship's function as a model for American academics declined. Professor Geary gave an engaging account of this development and offered at the same time an absorbing analysis of how the perception and interpreta- tion of German medieval history by American historians were shaped by their attempt to explain American history.

  • Scandinavian Influence in Kievan Rus

    Scandinavian Influence in Kievan Rus

    Katie Lane HST 499 Spring 2005 VIKINGS IN THE EAST: SCANDINAVIAN INFLUENCE IN KIEVAN RUS The Vikings, referred to as Varangians in Eastern Europe, were known throughout Europe as traders and raiders, and perhaps the creators or instigators of the first organized Russian state: Kievan Rus. It is the intention of this paper to explore the evidence of the Viking or Varangian presence in Kievan Rus, more specifically the areas that are now the Ukraine and Western Russia. There is not an argument over whether the Vikings were present in the region, but rather over the effect their presence had on the native Slavic people and their government. This paper will explore and explain the research of several scholars, who generally ascribe to one of the rival Norman and Anti- Norman Theories, as well as looking at the evidence that appears in the Russian Primary Chronicle, some of the laws in place in the eleventh century, and two of the Icelandic Sagas that take place in modern Russia. The state of Kievan Rus was the dominant political entity in the modern country the Ukraine and western Russia beginning in the tenth century and lasting until Ivan IV's death in 1584.1 The region "extended from Novgorod on the Volkhov River southward across the divide where the Volga, the West Dvina, and the Dnieper Rivers all had their origins, and down the Dnieper just past Kiev."2 It was during this period that the Slavs of the region converted to Christianity, under the ruler Vladimir in 988 C.E.3 The princes that ruled Kievan Rus collected tribute from the Slavic people in the form of local products, which were then traded in the foreign markets, as Janet Martin explains: "The Lane/ 2 fur, wax, and honey that the princes collected from the Slav tribes had limited domestic use.

No parts of this dissertation have been submitted for any other qualification. Statement of Length This dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words set by the Degree Committee of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages. Word count: 79, 991 words Alexandra Vukovic Abstract The Ritualisation of Political Power in Early Rus’ (10th-12th centuries) Alexandra Vukovic This dissertation examines the ceremonies and rituals involving the princes of early Rus’ and their entourage, how these ceremonies and rituals are represented in the literature and artefacts of early Rus’, the possible cultural influences on ceremony and ritual in this emergent society, and the role of ceremony and ritual as representative of political structures and in shaping the political culture of the principalities of early Rus’. The process begins by introducing key concepts and historiographic considerations for the study of ceremony and ritual and their application to the medieval world. The textological survey that follows focusses on the chronicles of Rus’, due to their compilatory nature, and discusses the philological, linguistic, and contextual factors governing the use of chronicles in this study. This examination of the ceremonies and rituals of early Rus’, the first comprehensive study of its kind for this region in the early period, engages with other studies of ceremony and ritual for the medieval period to inform our understanding of the political culture of early Rus’ and its influences.

    Medieval Christianity: the State of the Field Katherine J

    Religion Compass 1 (2004) CH 013, 1–17 Medieval Christianity: The State of the Field Katherine J. Gill Abstract As in other academic disciplines, historical Christianity in recent years has been energetically navigating the “cultural turn.” Just before the onset of the new millen- nium, Church History, the publication of the American Society of Church History, added the subtitle: Studies in Christianity and Culture. The subtitle signaled a recognition that Church History as a discipline had come to embrace a greater breadth than the connotations conveyed by the traditional term “Church History.” More specifically, its frameworks of inquiry had come to reflect a greater appreciation of the many facets of lived religion, a greater engagement with questions of how differently situated Christians interacted either among themselves or with others, and a greater openness to methodological innovation. The expansiveness in the general study of historical Christianity is nowhere more marked than in the study of Medieval Christianity. Over the course of the last forty years scholarship in this field sloughed off the dual trammels of confessional constructs and nationalist historiography. Scholars drawn to the study of medieval Christianity turned away from debates as to whether and how the “Medieval Church” achieved a sublime synthesis of Christian ideals on earth; or, on the other hand, stumbled through a long errancy from a pure gospel truth. Late twentieth century workers in the vineyard of Medieval Christianity found themselves challenged by the new themes of dominance, subversion, subjectivity, identity and alterity. Liberated from preoccupations as to whether and how it undergirded the imperium and collective virtues of one European country or another, “Medieval Christendom” simultaneously fractured, expanded and ramified.
