However, the foundations of the new discipline, which would reshape the entire edifice of Western philosophy, were established well before the rise of Scholasticism through an encounter with the Arabic philosophical tradition. The Twelfth-Century Renewal of Latin Metaphysics uncovers what rightly should be considered the first attempt to construct a metaphysical system in the Latin Middle Ages in the work of Dominicus Gundissalinus. A philosopher and translator who worked in Toledo in the second half of the twelfth century, Gundissalinus elaborated a fascinating metaphysics grounded on a substantive revision of the Latin tradition through the work of Avicenna, Ibn Gabirol, and al-Farabi. Based on a series of structural dualities of being that express the ontological difference between the caused universe and the uncaused creator who lies beyond any duality, it was to prove original and far-reaching.?With Gundissalinus we witness the first Latin appropriation of crucial doctrines, like the modal distinction between necessary and possible existence, formal pluralism, and universal hylomorphism. This study thoroughly analyses Gundissalinus?s revisionary interpretation of his Latin and Arabic sources, paying particular attention to the "unlikely blending" of Ibn Gabirol?s universal hylomorphism and Avicenna?s modal ontology which became the cornerstone of his metaphysics. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

Historical and Intellectual Culture in the Long Twelfth Century. The Scandinavian Connection

The essays gathered here all seek to illuminate the emergence of a written historical culture in Denmark from the early twelfth century onwards by situating this historical culture in a wider geographical, chronological, and cultural context.The period from c.1050 to 1225 saw the emergence of historical narratives about Danish affairs, a development mirroring both the rapid growth of historical writing in the Latin West in this period and the consolidation of Denmark as a Christian kingdom on the model of the great western monarchies. This volume as a whole aims to gain insight into Danish historical narratives written in Latin in the long twelfth century, both by drawing on the theoretical and methodological advances gained through increasing general scholarly interest in medieval historiography over the last decades, and by placing these texts in a larger cultural and intellectual context through comparisons with historical narratives from other areas, particularly England, France, and Germany. The sixteen essays combined in this volume thus range from detailed formal analyses to comparative studies of wider trends in the historiographical developments of the high Middle Ages. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Building for England. John Cosin?s Architecture in Renaissance Durham and Cambridge

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 80,00 | | Descrizione | John Cosin (1595?1672), a leading cleric in seventeenth-century England, rode the changing tides of preference under James I and Charles I, endured exile during the Interregnum, and finally became Bishop of Durham at the Restoration. Inspired by the architecture of Dr. Caius at his undergraduate college in Cambridge, and encouraged by his patron Richard Neile, Cosin developed an appreciation for the architecture of the English Church. Under Bishop Neile, Cosin became a prebend of Durham Cathedral and Rector of Brancepeth in the Bishopric of Durham during the 1620s, as well as master of Peterhouse and vice chancellor at Cambridge University during the 1630s. Cosin spent the years 1643 to 1659 in exile in Paris before returning to become Bishop of Durham from 1660 until his death in 1672. Actively involved in church architecture, Cosin devoted himself to promoting the ?beauty of holiness? programme so important to the English Arminian clergy, from the 1620s through to the 1670s. Cosin also rebuilt his Rectory at Brancepeth in the 1620s and remodelled Durham and Auckland episcopal palaces in the 1660s. As Bishop, Cosin created an episcopal library at Durham emulating the libraries of the Italian and French prelates, Cardinal Borromeo in Milan and Cardinal Mazarin in Paris. Cosin also laid out gardens at Durham and Auckland Castles, rebuilt Durham?s county court, bishop?s almshouses, and schools on Palace Green, and directed the rebuilding of Durham?s town hall and alterations at Durham Cathedral. John Langstaffe, master mason, executed the work at Durham, and drawings by Cosin and Langstaffe illuminate the patron-craftsman relationship, as does Cosin?s surviving correspondence and the documentation for his craftsmen. Setting the architectural patronage of Cosin in the context of his ambitions for the English Church, this volume argues that his architecture sprang from a national impulse for the greater glory of England and embodies his theology of free will and authoritarian ideology. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

That kings, prelates and even lowly freemen were, under certain
specified conditions, capable of offering protection or
peace to others, usually their inferiors, is
relatively well known. That a breach of this protection might
entitle, or indeed oblige, the protector to take action against the
violator is similarly well understood. However, this protective
dynamic has rarely received direct scholarly attention, despite its
being evident in an extraordinary range of contexts. The emotional
aspects of protection the honour and love associated with
the bond it creates, and the shame and anger that accompany its
breach resonate in both heroic and chivalric ideals, whilst
in legal fiction at least, the kings protection or peace
would come to underpin the common law of trespass. Such a broad
sweep, taking in social, legal, religious and cultural elements,
suggests that protection as a concept may have a wider significance
than its marginal role in current historiography would indicate.
Indeed, the influence of protection both in forming social bonds
and in providing a framework for the legitimate use of force
suggests that the concept could serve as a valuable counterpoint to
more traditional institutional understandings of
power. This book explores peace and protection as a fundamental
motor of medieval society, across a broad geographical and
chronological span; brings together literary, legal and historical
studies making use of a wide range of approaches; and focuses
scholarly attention as never before on the concept of peace and
protection viewed in relation to kingsand lords, charity and mercy,
and the action of feud and vendetta.
