Peeters Publishers Durandi de Sancto Porciano Scriptum super IV
Book SynopsisDer Sentenzenkommentar des Durandus von St. Pourçain nimmt, was seine Originalität und seine Bedeutung für die philosophische und theologische Mediävistik angeht, eine herausragende Stellung unter den Sentenzenkommentaren des 14. Jahrhunderts ein. Zum einen ist er ein einzigartiges Dokument für die Debatten vor allem innerhalb des Dominikanerordens um die Bedeutung des Thomas von Aquin und die Verbindlichkeit seiner Lehrmeinungen für den Orden. Zum anderen steht der Sentenzenkommentar des Durandus für die wachsende Bedeutung, die dieses Genre am Ende des 13. und zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts wiedererlangt. Von einem Pflichtstück am Beginn der akademischen Karriere wie etwa bei Thomas von Aquin wird der Sentenzenkommentar nun zu einer wichtigen Schriftgattung eines Magisters der Theologie, die ihn seine ganze akademische Karriere über begleitet. Buch I, Distinktionen 36-48 Dieser Band des ersten Buches bildet den Abschluss der Gotteslehre. Durandus diskutiert hierin Fragen zur göttlichen Erkenntnis und zum Willen Gottes. Insbesondere die Vereinbarkeit von futura contingentia und göttlichem Vorwissen bzw. die Kompatibilität von göttlicher Vorsehung und menschlicher Freiheit sind zentrale Themenbereiche dieses Teilbandes. Der Teilband gibt die mittlere (B-)Fassung des durandischen Sentenzenkommentars wieder.

Buch IV, Distinktionen 26-42 Die Distinktionen 26-42 des vierten Buches enthalten die Ehelehre des Durandus. Der Dominikanertheologe behandelt hier eine Fülle von Themen, darunter den Ehekonsens als konstitutiven Akt der Ehe, die Marienehe, die Ehegüterlehre und damit verbunden die Sittlichkeit des ehelichen Aktes sowie schließlich das breite Feld der Ehehindernisse (impedimenta matrimonii). Theologiegeschichtlich besonders beachtenswert sind seine Ausführungen zur Sakramentalität der Ehe und insbesondere zur Polygamie. Durandus bietet hier eine Sonderlehre, die nicht nur von Thomas von Aquin, sondern von der gesamten zeitgenössischen theologischen communis doctrina abweicht. Der Ehetraktat des durandischen Sentenzenkommentars ist in drei Redaktionen überliefert, von denen die erste und zweite Redaktion hier erstmals in kritischer Edition vorgelegt werden.

Peeters Publishers The Divinity of the Word: Thomas Aquinas Dividing
Book SynopsisIn the prologue to his commentary on the Fourth Gospel, St. Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274) states that while the other Gospels predominantly discuss the humanity of Christ, St. John the Evangelist focuses on the divinity of Christ. In the commentary itself, Thomas uses the divisio textus to structure the text, a technique that his contemporaries like St. Albert the Great and St. Bonaventure used as well. This study shows the divisio textus to be both a didactical tool that helps students get a grip on the Gospel text and a hermeneutical tool that gives essential insight into Thomas’s interpretation of the Gospel. It shows that for Thomas, John 1 is the Gospel in a nutshell and that in his interpretation, what the Evangelist has to say about the divinity of the Word in Jn 1 is developed in the rest of the Gospel. The divisio textus is shown to be an indispensable tool for understanding Thomas’s commentary on John, and Thomas’s trinitarian interpretation of the Fourth Gospel is demonstrated to be based on a profound theology of the Word of God.

Peeters Publishers Boèce, 'La Consolation de Philosophie':
Book SynopsisBien que la Consolation de Philosophie de Boèce, l’un des textes les plus lus durant tout le Moyen ge, soit aussi l’un des plus traduits et des plus glosés, surtout en français, depuis deux siècles environ, nous avons voulu en varier l’approche, à la fois quant au vécu et à la démarche intellectuelle de l’auteur, ainsi que quant à sa place dans l’histoire de la pensée philosophique, littéraire et théologique. C’est tout particulièrement le cas sur le plan de l’expression, puisque pour la première fois la métrique boécienne s’y trouve serrée d’aussi près, traitée avec autant de précision et rendue avec autant de rigueur. La préface du volume entreprend par ailleurs d’accéder à l’ouvrage par un angle original. Enfin, une bibliographie cumulant le rétrospectif et le prospectif, sinon exhaustive du moins très fouillée, permettra au lecteur exigeant de confronter, de prolonger et de diversifier nos recherches.

Book SynopsisIl s'agit du temoin le plus ancien d'un cours portant sur les livres II et III au complet du Traite de l'ame d'Aristote. Le cours, enseigne a la Faculte des Arts d'une Universite difficile a preciser (Paris?), est un exemple paradigmatique de la methode litterale (ce qui a permis de reconstituer la version de la Vetus utilisee par le maitre, que l'on pourra ajouter au dossier de l'Aristoteles Latinus) et un temoin precieux de la premiere "reception" d'Aristote. Le texte permet de constater le retrait d'Avicenne et l'influence croissante d'Averroes (dont le role est cependant purement instrumental, subordonne a l'intelligence purement philosophique du texte d'Aristote). Aucune des grandes doctrines personnelles du "commentateur" n'est retenue par le maitre. Dans l'etude doctrinale du texte on met en valeur les points du commentaire (nature et puissances de l'ame, l'intellect et les modes de connaissance), et on offre un tableau des doctrines psychologiques professees par les maitres des arts avant 1250 : John Blund, Pierre d'Espagne et d'autres maitres anonymes (tableau complete par un apparat de sources tres riche).On critique la notion de "premier Averroisme", car la notion de l'intellect agent comme puissance de l'ame semble etre une contribution proprement "latine" a l'exegese du De anima. Finalement, on prouve que saint Thomas a eu connaissance de ce commentaire anonyme et qu'il en depend dans sa propre lecture d'Aristote. Cela met en perspective l'originalite de saint Thomas et souligne la contribution des maitres des arts a l'histoire de l'Aristotelisme medieval.

MR - University of Notre Dame Press A First Glance at St. Thomas Aquinas
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is a superb introduction to the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas. It is so lucidly and wittingly written that even a Thomistic novice like this reviewer quickly lost most of his apprehension and became absorbed in the broad and fascinating survey offered by the author." —Homiletic and Pastoral Review“McInerny has succeeded in making the thought of the Common Doctor accessible to the common man . . . the book is both clear and helpful. Thanks to Professor McInerny for having written this introduction to Saint Thomas’s thought. It is the best available.” —The Canadian Catholic Review“... intended to be a ‘first, informal look into the vast world of St. Thomas Aquinas.’ Extensive bibliographical notes with additional suggested readings for each chapter are found at the end of the book. There is also a discussion of the various English translations available of Thomas’ writings. If a church library needs an introduction to the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, this is a good one to buy.” —Church and Synagogue Libraries

Harvard University Press Platonic Theology Volume 6 Books XVIIXVIII
Book SynopsisPlatonic Theology is the visionary and philosophical masterpiece of Marsilio Ficino (14331499), the Florentine scholar-philosopher-magus largely responsible for the Renaissance revival of Plato. This work, translated into English for the first time, is a key to understanding the art, thought, culture, and spirituality of the Renaissance.Trade ReviewThe I Tatti project represents a major contribution to Renaissance studies, as it becomes increasingly necessary to produce reliable editions and translations of works of the Italian Renaissance written in Latin. By providing an accurate text and a readable translation in an elegant yet affordable format, this [edition] will benefit both scholars and students, who might not be familiar with Ficino's sometimes difficult and elliptical Latin. It will interest not only those who are working on Ficino and Italian humanism but also anyone who is concerned with the history of Platonism and Neoplatonism. No doubt this edition will stimulate further studies on Ficino's Platonic Theology, which will in turn enlighten significant aspects of Ficino's thought, identify new sources and provide a comprehensive exegesis of this fundamental text. -- Maude Vanhaelen * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *Ficino set out to show that the ancient Neoplatonic philosophy embodied a "gentile theological tradition," one that complemented the Mosaic revelation to the Jews and prepared its devotees for the final truths of Christianity. Ficino worked in full knowledge of the internal complications of Neoplatonism. He wrote and argued in styles that ranged from the logical and synthetic to the poetic and evocative, as he struggled to find ways to prove that the universe was orderly and governed by a Creator and to lay out the place within it of the immortal human soul. -- Anthony T. Grafton * New York Review of Books *Allen's translation of Ficino's work is a crucial contribution to Renaissance studies. -- Daniel B. Gallagher * Aestimatio *

Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd On the Nature of Love
Book SynopsisOn the Nature of Love is a translation of Marsilio Ficino's commentary to Plato's Symposium. This edition makes Ficino's Tuscan version available to English readers for the first time. On November 7, 1468, nine men gathered at Careggi, outside Florence, to honour Plato's birthday. After the meal, the Symposium was read, and the guests now reduced to seven spoke on the nature of love. Ficino, who was also present, recorded what was said, and his report constitutes the text of his commentary. His work was eagerly taken up by court circles throughout Europe and became part of their standard fare for the next two centuries. In more recent times, Ficino's commentary has exercised the minds of theologians, philosophers, and psychologists.Trade Review"It fills a need, since these Ficinian works have never been translated into English before. Even those Anglophone scholars who know Latin still need a translation in order to read quickly through a large body of material." Carol V.

Broadview Press Ltd Thomas Aquinas: Basic Philosophical Writings:
Book SynopsisThis volume contains new translations of the essential philosophical writings of Thomas Aquinas from the Summa Theologiae and The Principles of Nature. The included texts represent the breadth of Aquinas’s thought, addressing: the fundamental principles of nature; causality; the existence of God; how God can be known; how language can be used to describe God; human nature (including the nature of the soul, free will, and epistemology); happiness; ethics; and natural law. The goal of these translations is twofold: to allow Aquinas to speak for himself, but also to make his thought accessible to the contemporary reader without the burden of unnecessary adherence to convention. A thorough yet accessible introduction is included, as are a series of useful appendices connecting Aquinas’s arguments to those of Anselm, Scotus, and others.Trade Review“Steven Baldner has put together an excellent introduction to the philosophical thought of Thomas Aquinas. He succeeds both in helping first-time readers past the challenges of Thomas’s technical language and in providing a substantial offering of his thought. With a very readable and informative introduction to Thomas’s life and works, Baldner prepares the way for a presentation of key philosophical writings. To aid the first-time reader, Baldner has provided a lively translation (free but accurate) and a student-friendly editing of the texts to assure maximum ease and accuracy of comprehension. This book will do a lot to bring the brilliance of Thomas Aquinas to a new generation of readers. Well done!” — Montague Brown, St. Anselm College“The need for a new volume of selections from the works of Aquinas could easily be doubted, but reviewing Steven Baldner’s Basic Philosophical Writing quiets one’s skepticism in this regard. This judgment is owing to a number of student-friendly features, most importantly the very readable biography and the introduction, which pulls together the various texts into a manageable whole. Other notable properties of this volume are the brief lexicon of technical terms used by Aquinas; a ‘cast of characters,’ namely, short entries on the philosophers and theologians whose work Aquinas refers to; and a selection of ‘contrasting texts,’ for example, both Descartes and Anselm on proving God’s existence.” — Mary Catherine Sommers, University of St. Thomas“Baldner’s volume is a worthy addition to the already burgeoning market of edited collections of Aquinas’s writings. The fluency of Baldner’s translation, the accessible formatting of the selections from the Summa Theologiae, his excellent introductory material, and useful appendices make this volume an invaluable resource for those encountering the thought of St. Thomas for the first time.” — Fr.

St Augustine's Press On Creation Conservation And Concurrence
Book SynopsisThe Spanish Jesuit Francisco Suarez (1548-1617) was an eminent Catholic philosopher-theologian whose 'Disputations Metaphysicae' were first published in Spain in 1597 and came to be widley studied throughout Europe during the seventeenth century. The 'Disputions Metaphysicae' not only constituted the high point of sixteenth-century scholasic metaphysics but exercised a great influence on early modern philosophers such as Descartes, Malebranche, and Leibniz. This is the first time that Disputations 20-22 have been translated into English. These disputations, which deal with the divine actions of creation, conservation, and concurrence,form the last half of Suarez's treatment of efficient causality. The present work completes thus Freddoso's translation of Suarez's full account of efficient causality in the 'Disputations Metaphysicae.' In his lengthy introduction, Freddoso situates the 'Disputationes Metaphysicae' within their proper intellectual context, provides a basic introduction to scholastic ontology and treatments of efficient causality, and traces the main lines of argument proposed by Suarez in Disputations 20-22.Trade Review"Freddoso is medieval philosphy's best and most prolific translator. Here, as in his earlier works, the English is both clear and faithful to the original. The translation is literal enough to satisfy philosophers, but not so ploddingly literal as to wear down the reader. Frequent footnotes help make sense of obscure references and tangled arguments. In comparing forty pages of the translation with the original Latin I was unable to find a single significant mistake, omission, or even questionable rendering" - 'The Philisophical Review' "[This serves] to indicate the brilliance of the translators at understanding the intricacies and subtleties of medieval scholastic Latin, and their sensitivity to modern readers' needs and problems." - 'The Thomist' "A brilliant piece of scholarship... Freddoso's introduction and notes are a 'tour de force'." - 'Philosophical Review' "Feddoso's translation and introduction are, quite simply, splendid pieces of work." - 'International Philosophical Quarterly'"Table of Contentspreface, intro., names index, subject index, bibliography

Springer International Publishing AG Metaphysics Through Semantics: The Philosophical
Book Synopsis“More than any other living scholar of medieval philosophy, Gyula Klima has influenced the way we read and understand philosophical texts by showing how the questions they ask can be placed in a modern context without loss or distortion. The key to his approach is a respect for medieval authors coupled with a commitment to regarding their texts as a genuine source of insight on questions in metaphysics, theology, psychology, logic, and the philosophy of language—as opposed to assimilating what they say to modern doctrines, or using medieval discussions as a foil for ‘new and improved’ conceptual schemes.” Jack Zupko, University of Alberta“Gyula Klima is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on thirteenth and fourteenth-century Latin philosophy, with his own, distinctive analytic approach, which brings out both the similarities and differences between medieval and contemporary logic and semantics.” John Marenbon, Trinity College, University of Cambridge “Gyula Klima has been a towering figure in the field of medieval philosophy for decades. His influence comprises not only the scholarly results of his work, but also intense and generous mentorship of students and junior colleagues. This volume is a perfect reflection of the esteem that he enjoys around the world, collecting excellent pieces by established as well as up-and-coming scholars of medieval philosophy.” Catarina Dutilh Novaes, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam“For four decades now, Gyula Klima has been setting the standard among medievalists for philosophical sophistication and historical rigor. This collection of wide-ranging studies from leading scholars in the field offers a worthy tribute to that legacy.” Robert Pasnau, University of Colorado BoulderGyula Klima is Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, and Senior Research Fellow, Consultant, and the Director of Institute for the History of Ideas of the Hungarian Research Institute in Budapest. In 2022, the President of Hungary awarded him the Knight’s Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit, “in recognition of his outstanding academic career, significant research work and exemplary leadership.” In this volume, colleagues, collaborators, and students celebrate Klima’s project with new essays on Plotinus, Anselm, Aquinas, Buridan, Ockham and others, exploring specific questions in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, metaphysics, and logic.No contemporary surpasses Kripke and Klima in semantics and metaphysics, but only Gyula Klima’s thought ranges flawlessly over classical philosophy as well. The volume is a fitting tribute to the master. David Twetten, Marquette UniversityTable of Contents

Springer International Publishing AG Authors, Factions, and Courts in Angevin England:
Book SynopsisAuthors, Factions, and Courts in Angevin England: A Literature of Personal Ambition (12th-13th Century) advances a model for historical study of courtly literature by foregrounding the personal aims, networks, and careers as the impetus for much of the period’s literature. The book takes two authors as case studies – Gerald of Wales and Walter Map – to show how authors not only built their own stories but also used popular narratives and the tools of propaganda to achieve their own, personal goals. The purpose of this study is to overturn the top-down model of political patronage, in which patrons – and particularly royal patrons – set the cultural agenda and dictate literary tastes. Rather, Fabrizio De Falco argues that authors were often representative of many different interests expressed by local groups. To pursue those interests, they targeted specific political factions in the changeable political scenario of Angevin England. Their texts reveal a polycentric view of cultural production and its reception. The study aims to model a heuristic process which is applicable to other courtly texts besides the chosen case-studies.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction. But What is the Point of Courtly Writing?Part 1 The Hydra: The Court’s Body and Its Wandering HeadsChapter 2 Re-thinking Literature at the English Royal Court, Its Protagonists and ContextsChapter 3 Starting at the Bottom: The Authors Part 2 The Messages Between the Lines.
