Conversion, Circumcision, and Ritual Murder in Medieval Europe
In 1230 Matilda de Bernham claimed she had found Edward, son of Master Benedict, a Norwich physician, lamenting and saying that he was a Jew. Moreover, she accused the city's Jews of trying to retrieve the boy by force, calling him “their Jew.” Four years later, Master Benedict, who had not actively searched for Edward, accused the Jews of circumcising him. There followed both legal proceedings and attacks on Norwich Jews and their property. Some…
Nicholas of Cusa and the Ottoman Threat to Christendom
Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464) had a long-time interest in the possibility of dialog with muslims. When the Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453, he authored a vision of religious peace in De pace fidei . By the time Pope Pius II called for a crusade against the Turks, Nicholas provided him with a critique of the Qurʾān. The changed viewpoint combined polemic with an effort to find Christian truths in the Islamic sacred text. This article trace…

Conciliarism, Humanism and Law: Justifications of Authority and Power, c.1400–c.1520, by Joseph Canning
This book is a sequel to Joseph Canning’s Ideas of Power in the Late Middle Ages, 1296–1417 (2011; rev. ante, cxxvii [2012], pp. 1,488–9). The focus here is on questions of the legitimacy of power and authority. The most creative approaches to these questions in the fifteenth century are found in conciliarism and its papalist response, humanism, and law, especially Roman law as found in the systematising work of the Commentators and the more hist…
S tefan B auer . The Invention of Papal History: Onofrio Panvinio between Renaissance and Catholic Reform
The division of ecclesiastical history along confessional lines is most easily identified with the Protestant Magdeburg Centuries (1559–74) and the Roman Catholic response, spearheaded by Cardinal Caesar Baronius. But a great deal of work already had been done on the Catholic side by Onofrio Panvinio (d. 1568). That Augustinian savant has been best known for his research on Roman history. Stefan Bauer’s The Invention of Papal History: Onofrio Pan…

The Fifteenth-Century Councils: Francisco de Vitoria, Melchor Cano, and Bartolomé Carranza
The Dominican theologian Francisco de Vitoria, founder of the School of Salamanca, was cautiously positive about general councils as useful to the church. However, he was not supportive of the strong conciliarism of the University of Paris. Vitoria’s successor at Salamanca, Melchor Cano, was much more a papalist, an opinion partially shared by Bartolomé Carranza, who attended the opening sessions of the Council of Trent (1545–63) and became archb…
A Dossier of Texts for the Augustinian Hermits of Lucca
In 1506, the vicar general of the diocese of Lucca authorized a notarized dossier of texts, most of them papal, favoring the observant house of the Augustinian Hermits in that city. Some of these texts had themselves been notarized to make them useful in litigation. Along with the papal letters, there are previously unknown letters of Enrico del Carretto, bishop of Lucca (d. 1323), and Alexander de S, Elpidio, a prior general of the Hermits. The …
The Religious Concordance: Nicholas of Cusa and Christian-Muslim Dialogue
The Summula de Summa Raymundi in Gordan MS 95, Bryn Mawr College
Raymond of Peñafort’s Summa de casibus conscientiae, including its fourth book, the Summa de matrimonio, was one of the most successful texts for pastors and confessors composed in the Middle Ages. Written by a Dominican friar in the thirteenth century, it treated cases of conscience in a systematic manner. It also examined matrimony and the other sacraments. The Summa was subject to detailed commentary by William of Rennes, updates by John of Fr…

The Eucharist in Medieval Canon Law
Thomas Izbicki presents a new examination of the relationship between the adoration of the sacrament and canon law from the twelfth to fifteenth centuries. The medieval Church believed Christ's glorified body was present in the Eucharist, the most central of the seven sacraments, and the Real Presence became explained as transubstantiation by university-trained theologians. Expressions of this belief included the drama of the elevated host and ch…

Nicholas of Cusa: On Presidential Authority in a General Council
In late 1433, after two years of intrigue and negotiations, Pope Eugenius IV agreed to acknowledge the legitimate existence of the Council of Basel. The recently crowned Emperor Sigismund had gone to Basel, and numberous clerics, including many cardinals, had abandoned the curia for the council. An obstreperous duke of Milan threatened the papal states "in the name of the holy synod," and in May 1434 the populace of Rome rebelled, foreing the pop…
Papalist Reaction to the Council of Constance: Juan de Torquemada to the Present
The Council of Constance has presented a problem to propapal historians since its close. On the one hand, the council ended the Great Western Schism, establishing an accepted line of popes while condemning doctrinal errors attributed to John Wyclille and John Hus. On the other hand, its decrees,llaec Santa and Freqnens, issued to safeguard the work of reunification and that of reform, later were used to justify the attempt of the Council of Basel…
Johannes De Turrecremata, Two Questions On Law
JOHANNES DE TURRECREMATA, TWO QUESTIONS ON LAW by THOMAS M. IZBICKI (Berkeley) The Dominican cardinal Johannes de Turrecremata (1388-1468) was the foremost papal apologist of the conciliar epoch. In the course of a long career, he also earned a considerable reputation as a theologian and canon lawyer. In subsequent centuries writers in both disciplines invoked his name to lend weight to their argumentsl. Turrecremata did not easily master the sci…

An Argument from Authority in the Indies Debate
At his trial Socrates described himself as attached to Athens “as a gadfly to a horse.” In Sixteenth Century Spain the Order of Preachers played a similar role. Dominican friars freely criticized royal officials, conquistadors and fellow churchmen. At times their meddling in affairs of state drew down on them the wrath of the authorities. Charles V, though favorably disposed toward the Indians, more than once angrily rebuked their defenders, the …

Edward Cranz). The remai…

This volume contains studies on Nicholas of Cusa and his times. The first section is concerned with Cusanus' context, beginning with a historiographic essay by Francis Oakley on the impact of Brian Tierney's Foundations of the Conciliar Theory. Among the topics addressed are the long-term continuation of the Council of Basel (1431-1449) and the issues of ecclesiastical income which it addressed. The second part is concerned with Cusanus' thought …
Prierias: The Life and Works of Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio (1456-1527)
The Italian Dominican friar Silvestro Mazzolini da Prierio (1456ETH1527), known as is chiefly remembered as the church official designated to respond to Luther's 95 theses of December 1517 - a response blamed for fanning the flames of the Reformation throughout Europe. In Prierias, Michael Tavuzzi presents the first full biography of this little-known, yet eminent, sixteenth-century ecclesiastic, as well as an account of his wide-ranging literary…

The counciliar policy of the french kingdom has been caricatured as that of permanent obstruction. But the councils persistence can be explained moreover by the structures of the political scene at that time. The counciliar policy of francis ist oscillated between that of collaboration and that of obstruction. The council was never just a secondary issue, even if the kind hoped to achieve around him a religious concord by means of an assembly of …

The Origins of the De ornatu mulierum of Antoninus of Florence
Some time in 1439, on an unspecified date, a Bolognese tailor was denied absolution by a Franciscan Observant because he made clothing that seemed vain and sinful to his confessor. This must have sat badly with the tailor or troubled the friars themselves. Eventually the guardian of the convent at San Paolo in Monte asked the leading legal light of the Observant movement, Franciscus de Platea, 1 to petition Pope Eugenius IV for advice. Eugenius w…

The Immaculate Conception and Ecclesiastical Politics from the Council of Basel to the Council of Trent: The Dominicans and Their Foes
Bereits im 15.Jahrhundert lehnten die Dominikaner die Lehre von der Unbefleckten Empfängnis entschieden ab. Als das Konzil von Basel (1431-1449) versuchte, diese Lehre zu verkünden, nahm der dominikanische Widerstand zu. Die Position der Dominikaner wurde jedoch untergraben, als Papst Sixtus IV. (1471-1484) sich in mehreren Dekreten für die Unbefleckte Empfängnis aussprach. Im 16.Jahrhundert übten das Papsttum und die Sorbonne zunehmend Druck auf…
