Paperback, 184 p., 140 x 210 mm. ISBN 9780888442871. '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. Languages : English.
Paperback, VIII+98 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9780888442918. 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. Languages : English, Latin.
Paperback, LVIII+278 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9780888442925. Peter Lombard's 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 world's great books'. 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 God's action towards creatures. An important concern is the preservation of God's 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. Languages : English, Latin.

Paperback, VI+92 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9780888442949. Balderich's 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, 1131-1152), 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 Albero's 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 Balderich's principal focus, and which makes the Deeds the remarkable document that it is.

Paperback, XXVII+256 p., 150 x 230 mm. ISBN 9780888442970. Early in the 1240s the university of Paris hired a recent graduate from Oxford, Roger Bacon by name, to teach the arts and introduce Aristotle to its curriculum. Along with eight sets of questions on Aristotle's natural works and the Metaphysics he claims to have authored another eight books before he returned to Oxford around 1247. Within the prodigious output of this period we find a treatise on logic titled Summulae dialectices, and it is this that is here annotated and presented in translation. The book is unique in several respects. First, there is the breadth of its sources. Not only do we find explicit reference to the usual authors such as Aristotle, Plato, Boethius, Porphyry, and Priscian, we also find unexpected reference to Augustine, Bernardus Silvestris, Donatus, Terence, and Themistius, along with mention of the Muslim philosophers Algazel and Ibn Rushd. Second, it is clear that Bacon is drawing on or reacting to an extraordinarily wide variety of medieval sources: Garland the Computist, Hugh of St. Victor, Master Hugo, Hugutius of Pisa, Isidore of Seville, Nicholas of Damas, Nicholas of Paris, Richard of Cornwall, Robert Kilwardby, Robert of Lincoln, and Robert the Englishman. Third, it unexpectedly presents a full-blown treatment of Aristotle's theory of demonstration. And finally, Bacon reveals a highly unorthodox view of the signification of common terms. Bacon, here, takes his students and us deeper into medieval sources and controversy than any of his rivals do. Languages : English, Latin.
