摘要

摘要：本文论述了 "上帝能用树干做牛犊 "这一表达方式--这是中世纪论文中非常流行的一句话，尤其是在上帝无所不能的背景下。本文对这句话的考证进行了详尽的记录和考量，讨论了上下文，并对其归属进行了研究。文章认为，坎特伯雷的安瑟伦（Anselm of Canterbury）的说法是错误的，也是晚期的说法。该短语可追溯到康奇的威廉（William of Conches）、彼得-科梅斯托（Peter Comestor）和波纳文图拉的 Ars concionandi 等人所引用的流行语。因此，这是一个罕见的乡村谚语在学术辩论中被用作标准学术论据的例子。

A Calf from a Tree-Trunk: From a Rustic Proverb to a Standard Scholastic Argument

Abstract:

The paper deals with the expression "God is able to make a calf from a tree-trunk"—a very popular phrase in medieval treatises, especially in the context of God's omnipotence. Its attestations are thoroughly documented and considered, contexts discussed, and attributions examined. It is argued that the attribution to Anselm of Canterbury is false and late. It is claimed that the phrase goes back to a popular saying as attested by William of Conches, Peter Comestor, and ps.-Bonaventurian Ars concionandi. Thus, it is a rare example of a rustic proverb used in scholastic debates as a standard scholarly argument.

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
