I shall first give a general historical overview of the fate of Eriugenian texts and ideas in this pe-riod. Following that, I shall examine the Eriugenian element in an important section of the Parisian Corpus Dionysiacum (Mystical Theology V), and the anonymous Liber de causis primis et secundis , which gives us something of a key to the 13 th reading of Eriugena, and helps explain the harshness of later reaction to him. Finally, I shall examine a key example from the Summa in which this debate from the previous five centuries emerges, and conclude. For the purposes of this comparison, I shall focus on one problem, that is, the problem of Eriugena ’ s presentation of the Primordial Causes. concealed in the darkness of their excellence, do not cease to appear by being brought forth into the light, as it were, of knowledge in their effects.³","PeriodicalId":153743,"journal":{"name":"The Summa Halensis","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117165018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rosato","doi":"10.1515/9783110685022-013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110685022-013","url":null,"abstract":"It has long been recognized that the Summa Halensiswas one of the first texts to extensively engage the arguments of Anselm’s Cur Deus homo. As a result of this engagement, Anselm can rightly be thought of as exercising a great deal of influence on how the Summa understands Christ’s redemptive work. We see this influence, for instance, when the Summa takes up questions Anselm poses about redemption, such as whether satisfaction is necessary for sin or whether only a God-man can make satisfaction.Without denying the influence of Anselm on the soteriology of the Summa Halensis, this chapter focuses primarily on how the Summa both modifies Anselm’s ideas and supplements them. Thus, I examine how the Summa employs the distinction between God’s absolute and ordained power to modify Anselm’s claims regarding the manner in which certain aspects of God’s plan of redemption are deemed necessary. Also, I show that Peter Lombard’s Sentences significantly shape how the Summa interprets what Anselm writes about Christ’s satisfaction and merit. Finally, I consider how the Summa draws on other authorities such as Gregory the Great and John Damascene to supplement Anselm’s account of redemption. Alexander of Hales was one of the first 13-century theologians to closely examine Cur Deus homo and treat Anselm as a significant theological authority. Anselm’s treatise is cited extensively in Alexander’s Glossa and in his disputed questions. Yet Anselm’s Cur Deus homo has an even greater presence in the Summa Halensis (SH) than it does those earlier works. Michael Robson, who has documented the influence of Anselm among early Franciscan theologians, writes, ‘A barometer of the growing influence of Anselm on the nascent Franciscan school is strikingly present in Book 3 of the Summa Fratris Alexandri, whose early questions presuppose a close reading of the Cur Deus homo.’1 Similarly, J. Patout Burns writes that in the SH ‘Anselm comes into his own as the master of teaching on redemption’.2 Anselm did exercise a great amount of influence on how the SH understands Christ’s redemptive work. The SH, for instance, adopts Anselm’s claim that making satisfaction is central to Michael Robson, ‘Odo Rigaldi and the Assimilation of St. Anselm’s Cur Deus homo in the School of the Cordeliers in Paris,’ in Saint Anselm and his Legacy, ed.

By most accounts, Bonaventure’s forebears, and even Bonaventure himself, worked primarily to systematize the intellectual tradition of Augustine that had prevailed for most of the earlier Middle Ages.1 In contrast, Scotus is supposed to have broken with past precedent to develop innovative philosophical and theological positions that anticipated the rise of modern thought. Thus, Scotus and his successors have been the focus of many studies, while his predecessors are deemed largely insignificant for the further history of thought.2 This volume and another that accompanies it will make a case for the innovativeness of early Franciscan thought, which the editor has also advanced elsewhere.3 The contributions are based on proceedings from four conferences which were held over the course of 2018 and sponsored by the European Research Council. While these conferences concerned the early Franciscan tradition in general, their more specific focus was the so-called Summa Halensis, a massive text that was collaboratively authored by the founding members of the Franciscan school at Paris between 1236 and 1245, in an attempt to lay down a distinctly Franciscan intellectual tradition for the very first time. Although some final additions to the text were made in 1255–6, the Summa was mostly composed during the second quarter of the thirteenth century and thus within first 50 years of the existence of the University of Paris, which was founded around 1200 and served as the centre for theological study at the time. In countless respects, it laid the foundation for the further development of the Franciscan intellectual tradition The need for a text like the Summa was precipitated in part by the rapid growth of the Franciscan order—from 12 members in 1209 to as many as 20,000 by 1250—the","PeriodicalId":153743,"journal":{"name":"The Summa Halensis","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129340469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Halensist quotes both authors explicitly and frequently. A catalogue of Hugh citations would reveal one kind of perspective on Hugh ’ s influence on various topics, especially on the sacraments in the unedited Book IV of the Summa. Arguably more important, though, is Hugh ’ s influence on the entire orientation and method of the early Franciscan Summa. Three aspects of this form of influence are noteworthy. First, the Halensist adopts and adapts Hugh ’ s signature distinction between the two fundamental ‘ works of God ’ , namely, creating and restoring, as a framework for organizing the content of the entire Summa. Second, the Halensist identifies the overarch-ing subject matter of theology as the Hugonian ‘ works of restoration ’ in salvation history, centered on the Incarnation. Third, the Halensist is inspired by Hugh to con-ceive of theology as a practical discipline, aimed ultimately at perfecting its praction-er affectively by orienting her in love toward divine goodness. In this, theology is a distinct form of Christian wisdom. oft-cited the Victorine Reduction the Arts Theology. ¹ There, surveying the luminaries of recent remote Christian the Seraphic Doctor special tribute Hugh.
