Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Testo remainders al momento non procurabile | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 22,50 | | Descrizione | Compiled in the early thirteenth century, The Llanthony Stories is a fragmentary collection of exemplaria gathered by an anonymous canon at the Augustinian priory of Llanthony Secunda, Gloucester. While intended primarily for the edification of readers and those who heard the stories preached in sermons, many of the thirty-five exempla offer humorous (even ribald) glimpses of life in the Severn watershed and beyond. Filled with short tales of greedy archdeacons, licentious monks, pious laymen and prelates trying to navigate their world with decorum and piety, the work expands our knowledge of ecclesiastical politics and evangelical priorities in the Anglo-Norman church. Although the work survives in a single manuscript witness, it has long been known to historians and scholars of medieval literature. This volume makes the collection available in modern English for the first time. The translation, accompanied by extensive notes, is complemented by a contextualizing historical introduction and an edition of the Latin text. | |

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 35,00 | | Descrizione | In his work The Book of the Reformation of the Order of Preachers, the Dominican friar Johannes Meyer (1422?1485) drew on letters, treatises, and other written records, as well as interviews, oral accounts, and his own personal experience, to record the blossoming of the Observant reform movement. The result is this sprawling, eclectic, yet curiously intimate account of the men ? but mostly of the women ? who devoted their lives to revitalizing the Dominican order in southern Germany. With his reliance on their accounts and archives and respect for their intellectual abilities and spiritual resolve, Meyer?s treatment of medieval Dominican women provides a model from which today?s historians stand to learn.The introduction contextualizes Meyer?s celebratory work within a more objective historical background; it is followed by a full translation, making this remarkable history available to English-speaking readers for the first time. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

On Morals, the second part of William?s treatise On the Virtues and the Vices, forms one component of his vast The Teaching on God in the Mode of Wisdom. In On Morals he extols the value of the nine virtues ? faith, fear, hope, charity, piety, zeal, poverty, humility, and patience ? in a sophisticated narrative where each of the virtues speaks for itself, explaining its importance. | |

Guernes? work is itself an essential witness to the cultural, intellectual, and political upheavals in England during the twelfth century: the emergence of a vibrant new francophone literary culture; the rising importance of written documents and bureaucracy; and the long-rumbling contest between papal and royal authority that ultimately brought about the profound shock of Becket?s murder in Canterbury Cathedral. Ian Short?s translation, assured in the balance it strikes between readability and fidelity to the tone and context of the original, is a companion to Jacques Thomas?s recent edition of the Medieval French text, and is accompanied by explanatory notes that will make this the go-to English version for undergraduate and graduate students interested in the literature, religion, and history of the middle ages.? | |

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Testo remainders al momento non procurabile | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 16,50 | | Descrizione | Roger Bacon?s Opus maius represents an attempt to create a whole new vision of what Christian education should be, one centered on service to the Church. In the second chapter of Part 3 of this work he presents a semiotics with several original features as a partial hermeneutic for studying the scriptures and sacraments. It distinguishes itself in offering a non-Augustinian definition of signs and maps out their logical and natural functions. Bacon spells out numerous ways in which words equivocate, distinguishes between analogy and equivocation, classifies five degrees of equivocation, and comes up with a new notion of analogical signification. Words, he claims, originally were imposed only for existing things and, in contrast with the majority opinion, name directly the things for which they are imposed and not the latter?s concepts. When a name signifies a thing, he says, it also co-signifies anything logically or naturally connected with that thing ?its concept, its genus, the thing?s matter and form, its Creator, and so on. And to understand the myriad ways in which things and words signify, he says, is ?a thing of marvelous usefulness and beauty.? So what we have here in Bacon?s ?On Signs? is the most comprehensive and innovative treatise on semiotics in the thirteenth century. | |

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 15,00 | | Descrizione | This volume contains translations of three of William of Auvergnes shorter more spiritual works: Cur Deus homo (Why God Became Man), De gratia (On Grace), and De fide (On Faith). Each work touches upon the understanding of the relation between nature and grace, the moral and theological virtues, and of the need for our redemption by Christ and its character. The introduction situates the treatises within Williams many works and within the thought of the early thirteenth century.
In the first treatise William sets forth the reasons for the incarnation of the Word. In it he is deeply influenced by Anselm of Canterburys emphasis on the need for satisfaction to be made to God for human sin, a satisfaction that could only adequately be made by someone both divine and human. While Anselm claimed to provide necessary reason of the incarnation, William admits that God could have redeemed the world in another way.
In the second William argues for the need of grace in order for human beings to return to God and aims to refute the position of the Pelagian heretics as he understood it.
The third treatise presents his understanding of faith as something that goes beyond the abilities of unaided human nature, although he lacks the later concept of the supernatural. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Peter Lombards major work, the four books of the
Sentences, was written in the mid twelfth century and, as
early as the 1160s, the text was glossed and commented on in the
schools. There is hardly a theologian of note throughout the rest
of the Middle Ages who did not write a commentary on the
Sentences. Yet in spite of its importance in Western
intellectual history and its capacity to excite many generations of
students and teachers, the Sentences has received
little attention in more recent times. Indeed, it has been called
one of the least read of the worlds great
books.
This volume makes available for the first time in English a full
translation of Book 2 of the Sentences. It consists of
forty-four Distinctions, in the first of which Peter sets
out a definition of creation and ponders the reasons which God may
have had for engaging in it. Angels, their creation, nature, fall,
ranks, and ministries are the subject of Distinctions
21. Distinctions 125 set out an
hexaemeron, or an account of the six days of creation as described
in Genesis. The next three Distinctions concentrate on the
creation of man and woman, and the following two discuss the state
of human beings before their sinful fall, including the manner of
procreation.
Distinctions 219, organized around the fall,
are devoted to human psychology, freedom of choice, and grace. In
Distinctions 303 the focus is on original sin, its
transmission by the current mode of procreation, its remission in
baptism. The Book concludes in Distinctions 344
with a detailed analysis of actual sin and how it occurs by free
choice in the diminished condition of human freedom after the
fall.
The volume contains an introduction to Book 2, a list of the
major chapter headers, and a bibliography.

Peter Lombards major work, the four books of the
Sentences, was written in the mid-twelfth century and, as early as
the 1160s, the text was glossed and commented on in the schools.
There is hardly a theologian of note throughout the rest of the
Middle Ages who did not write a commentary on the Sentences. Yet in
spite of its importance in Western intellectual history, it has
received little attention in recent times. This volume makes
available for the first time in English a full
translation of Book 3 of the Sentences, which deals with
the mystery of the Word made flesh: Christs incarnation,
passion, and death, the consequent restoration of humankind,
and the virtues to be practised in imitation of Christ. Book 3 is
divided into forty Distinctions. The first twenty-two are devoted
to Christs incarnation and his redemptive work. With the
question of whether Christ had the virtues of faith, hope, and
charity, a transition is made from Christology to a consideration
of the virtues themselves, as each Christian is called to live them
in imitation of Christ. The last four Distinctions outline the
Decalogue in the context of the two commandments given by Christ
regarding the love of God and neighbour; the Book closes with the
assertion of the superiority of the Gospel over the Law of the Old
Testament.

Balderichs Deeds of Albero offers important
insight into the conflicts between church and state during the
twelfth century. The Gesta Alberonis records the exploits
of Albero von Montreuil (Archbishop of Trier, 1131152),
portrayed as a daring hero doing battle on behalf of the 'Liberty
of the Church'. During the late eleventh and early twelfth
centuries, political and ecclesiastical rulers alike sought to
clarify the responsibilities, rights, and obligations they had in
common and those that were unique to their different but related
kinds of rule. Balderich opens the Deeds with explicit
reference to these struggles for power, which later came to be
known as the Investiture Controversy.
This conflict between the church and the German emperor centred
on the question of control over the appointment of bishops: clergy
and princes alternately allied with and fought against one another,
seeking to consolidate their respective powers through different
structures of governance.
As a young cleric in Metz, Albero resisted an imperially
appointed bishop. His audacious use of disguise while travelling on
secret missions for his church show him to be very much a
folk-hero. And once Albero had been appointed archbishop, Balderich
characterizes him as the lynchpin in the actions of popes and
kings. Albero ensured the election of King Conrad III, and led
troops on campaigns in Italy and northern Germany.
But it was Alberos rule as prince-bishop that proved
paramount. Albero directed the spiritual affairs of the church in
Trier while exercising political rule over the principality, and it
is this aspect that is Balderichs principal focus, and which
makes the Deeds the remarkable document that it is.

This volume makes available for the first time in English a full
translation of Book 1 of the Sentences. It consists of
forty-eight Distinctions, the bulk of which deal with God in his
transcendence and with the mystery of the Trinity. The person of
God the Father is the topic in Distinction iv, that of God the Son
in v-ix, that of God the Holy Spirit in x-xviii. Distinctions
xix-xxxiv are deeply concerned with the language that can be used
in describing the Trinity and the relations among the divine
persons. The remaining distinctions deal with the divine attributes
as they become manifest in Gods action towards creatures. An
important concern is the preservation of Gods sovereign
freedom and the avoidance of any confusion regarding the absolute
transcendence of God, despite his graceful self-disclosure in
creation and revelation.
The volume contains an introduction to Peter and to the
Sentences and its first book, a list of the major chapter
headings, and a bibliography.

The birth and flowering of
canonical jurisprudence in the twelfth century is one of the most
striking and fruitful developments of the age, marking an important
turn in the history of the Church and in framing the essential
elements of the rule of law in political and social
life.
Raymond of Penyafort was an
important participant in these developments. Born near Barcelona in
1175, he became a teacher of canon law at Bologna, the greatest
centre of legal studies. He joined the newly founded Order of
Preachers (Dominicans), and championed multilingual education of
the friars for a more effective evangelization of Muslims and Jews.
He became Master General of the Order in 1238, and died in 1275. He
was canonized in 1601 and has been declared the patron saint of
canon lawyers.
Pope Gregory IX appointed Raymond
to produce a comprehensive compilation of papal legal decisions.
The result, the Decretals of Gregory IX (1234), would remain
normative in the Catholic Church until 1917. Raymond drew on it to
compose his Summa on Marriage, a summary of learned
reflection on the law of marriage, to aid his Dominican brothers in
hearing confessions, where numerous problems touching on marriage
would have been encountered. The definition of marriage and of its
ends, stages and impediments, arrangements and consequences are the
subject of the work. This translation of it offers students and
scholars alike a comprehensive presentation of the medieval
teaching on marriage - learned in content, practical in
orientation.

Registrum epistularum of Gregory the Great, the first
complete version in English, and only the second in any modern
language, will provide all medievalists access to one of the most
important documentary collections to have survived from the
period.
All fourteen books of the letters
are presented in three volumes, each with a preface of its own but
sharing the introduction found in the first volume. Books 1-4
appear in volume 1, Books 5-9 in the second volume, and Books 10-14
(and appendices) in the concluding volume, which also contains a
glossary, bibliography, and indices.
The Introduction provides a brief
biography of Gregory and discussions of the historical background,
as well as detailed exposition of a range of topics, from Gregory's
missions and his relationship with Augustine of Canterbury, to the
pope's major correspondents and his use of Scripture. A section on
the stylistic features of the letters shows the range of Gregory's
literary and rhetorical art.

'Is it heretical to assert that
Christ and the apostles had none of the things that come into use in
human life either in regard to ownership or of dominion over them'
From 1321 to 1323, debate about this question sparked a passionate and
bitter controversy over the Franciscan doctrine of the
'absolute' poverty of Christ and the apostles and hence of the
basis of the Franciscan practice of poverty. The controversy pitted the
Franciscan Order against Pope John XXII and the Dominican Order. This
volume contains a translation of two works from that controversy -
Hervaeus Natalis's The Poverty of Christ and the Apostles and a
Vatican scribe's summary of the positions of several Franciscan
clergy including those of two prominent cardinals: Vital du Four and
Bertrand de la Tour. Hervaeus Natalis (d. 1323), a distinguished
philosopher and theologian, was Master General of the Dominican Order
during the controversy. His work, which John XXII read and annotated,
provides a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the central
philosophical, theological and scriptural themes at the heart of the
controversy. It presents a clear contrast to the positions held by the
Franciscans. In their works Hervaeus and the Franciscans treat a wide
range of enduring themes in religious and social life: the nature of
poverty; the relation of poverty and wealth to perfection; the
interpretation of scriptural and patristic authorities; the
relationship between ownership, rights and use; the justification for
making provision for the future; and so forth. Apart from those works
by Thomas Aquinas, this volume presents the only English translation of
a principal Dominican treatise on poverty. It concludes with a
bibliography and a comprehensive index.
