Theological Quodlibeta in the Middle Ages: The Fourteenth Century

This chapter offers a general study of the manuscripts, demarcating the extent to which they have distinctive features that might prove valuable in determining their overall filiations. It presents a detailed discussion of the textual tradition of question 16, “Utrum libertas voluntatis et necessitas naturalis possint se compati in eodem respectu eiusdem actus et obiecti”. The chapter then observes a tentative stemma for the relations between the manuscripts in question 16 along with some further observations regarding the manuscripts and the layers of text contained in the question. Finally, it presents an edition of question 16 based on the complete collation of ten manuscripts and the preliminary checking of some thirty more. Keywords: fourteenth century; Franciscan John Duns Scotus; manuscripts; Paris; question 16; Quodlibet

La discusión abierta por Juan Iribarne acerca de la voluntad se sitúa en el contexto de los planteamientos tomistas de la península ibérica en el siglo XVII y manifiesta tanto continuidad como innovación dentro de la tradición escotista. La conclusión que se alcanza es que la teoría de Juan Iribarne muestra desacuerdos fundamentales que distinguen las teorías escotistas respecto de otras teorías escolásticas acerca de la voluntad, sean de corte tomista o suareciano, y, por tanto, es un ejemplo muy instructivo para el actual debate filosófico.In this paper, the author examines the theory of will outlined in the Tractatus de actibus humanis of Juan Iribarne Uraburu. Juan’s discussion of will is situated in relation to various Thomistic thinkers of seventeenth- century Iberia and is shown both to be continuous with and innovative within the Scotis...

There is also a brief discussion of critical editions and the methods used to create them, including the expressions of some worries about whether there will be editors in the future to match the Latinity and scholarship of past editors.

Armand Maurer, C.S.B. passed away in Toronto at a hospital close to the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies where he had spent nearly the entirety of his illustrious academic career. Born January 21, 1915 to parents of modest means, Fr. Maurer first became interested in philosophy at the Aquinas Institute High School where he also encountered priests of the Basilian order into whose number he would soon be admitted. Encouraged to pursue his education at St. Michael's College of the University of Toronto, Maurer enrolled in the College as a student of honors course in philosophy in 1933. After graduating with a B.A. in 1938, Maurer entered the novitiate of the Basilians, making his profession of vows in 1941. After teaching for two years at the Aquinas Institute, he returned to Toronto to study theology and was ordained to the priesthood there August 15, 1945 by Archbishop James Charles McGuigan. Undertaking graduate studies at the University of Toronto, he completed in short order both his licentiate and doctoral degrees, graduating with his Ph.D. in 1947. After spending a period of post-doctoral study in Paris from 1947 until 1949, Fr. Maurer was appointed a fellow of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in 1949, a position he still occupied at his death. The recipient of numerous awards for his scholarship and learning, Fr. Maurer was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1954, elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1966, President of the American Catholic Philosophical Association in 1979, and the recipient of the Association's Aquinas Medal in 1987. The scholarship of Armand Maurer ranged far and wide over the whole of medieval philosophy and even ventured into modern and contemporary philosophy. Many students and not a few professors first became acquainted with medieval metaphysics and epistemology by reading Maurer's translations of Aquinas's De ente et essentia and his Super Boetium De Trinitate. Maurer's translations were not only remarkable for their unfailingly accuracy and readability; they were also supplied with outstanding introductions that summarized the state of scholarship, both North American and European, on the text in question. As a result, students could enter immediately into the finer points of Aquinas's arguments or begin researches of their own. Nor was Maurer's textual scholarship limited to translations: his numerous editions in articles of shorter texts from figures such as Henry Harclay and Adam of Buckfield were complemented by his fine edition of Siger of Brabant's Quaestiones in Metaphysicam. …

Philosophical Debates at Paris in the Early Fourteenth Century

This chapter examines three texts illustrating the understanding of the formal distinction in the theology faculty at Paris: James of Ascoli's Quodlibet q. 1, Thomas Wylton's Quodlibet q. 5, and William of Alnwick's Determinatio q. 14. The advantage of these texts is that two of them (Ascoli's Quodlibet q. 1 and Wylton's Quodlibet q. 5) were disputed in Paris within a decade of Scotus's death and the one that was not, Alnwick's Determinatio q. 14, makes Ascoli's text one of its chief objects of criticism. It traces out how early Scotists and non-Scotists conceive of the formal distinction, that is, whether it is in their eyes a subtype of real distinction or represents an intermediate distinction, and also how they characterize certain objections to the formal distinction. Keywords: Determinatio ; formal distinction; James of Ascoli; John Duns Scotus; Quodlibet ; Scotists; Thomas Wylton; William of Alnwick
