The Cardinal Virtues in the Middle Ages: A Study in Moral Thought from the Fourth to the Fourteenth Century
Exploring the history of the cardinal virtues from patristic times to the late fourteenth century, this book offers a comprehensive view of the development of moral debate in the Latin Middle Ages.
Virtue Ethics in the Middle Ages: Commentaries on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics , 1200-1500
Ever since its rediscovery in the thirteenth century, Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics has figured as a prime model of philosophical ethics in Western moral thought. This collection of articles for the first time surveys the medieval tradition of commentaries on the work from its origins to the fifteenth century. The twelve articles concentrate on the moral and intellectual virtues around which Aristotle’s ethic revolves and in many cases compare t…
Virtue and Ethics in the Twelfth Century
"This volume analyses the renewal of Western moral thought in the twelfth century. This renewal was marked by a burgeoning of increasingly systematized texts, a lively reception of ancient moral philosophy and a greater emphasis on the psychology of the moral agent. Six contributions are devoted to monastic morality (Anselm of Canterbury, Bernard of Clairvaux, Hugh of Folieto, Hugh of Saint Victor, Peter Abelard); another five are focused on (pro…

Les vertus cardinales dans l'hagiographie latine du Moyen Âge
Allusions to the cardinal virtues have been a hagiographic tradition since the beginning of the Middle Ages. Over one hundred Latin Vitae written before 1500 refer to the four virtues. Most of the references date from the 11th and 12th centuries; from the 13th century on the number of sources declines as the right to canonize is restricted to the popes and the Rota displays an apparent indifference to the cardinal virtues. After 1400 the theme of…

Historia praestat omnibus disciplinis’: Juan Luis Vives on history and historical study
Juan Luis Vives (1492–1540) is justly celebrated as a philosopher of education, language, and psychology. Unfortunately, posterity has largely overlooked Vives's historical thought. Notably in De disciplinis (1531), the most comprehensive of his writings, Vives unfolds a remarkable view of the meaning of the past which runs through his work like a continuous thread, giving a historical dimension to his ideas on culture and education. This article…
Erasmus and the Middle Ages: The Historical Consciousness of a Christian Humanist
The aim of this book is to examine Erasmus’ attitude toward the medieval past and to relate it to his historical consciousness. More than any other Renaissance humanist, Erasmus was committed to the goal of building an alternative to medieval civilisation. In his view, the restoration and study of ancient pagan and Christian literature would result in an elevation of cultural and intellectual as well as moral and spiritual standards. Yet these ve…
Kulturoptimismus und Kulturpessimismus in der Renaissance: Studie zu Jacobus Canters Dyalogus de solitudine mit kritischer Textausgabe und deutscher Ubersetzung
Erasmus becomes a Netherlander
The current belief that Erasmus became a during his first voyage to Basel in 1514 must be revised. During his voyage Erasmus neither transformed his Dutch into a identity nor did he extend the notion of Gernmania from Lower Germany to the whole of Germany. On the contrary, he started to restrict the notion of Germania to Upper Germany and dissociated himself from this entity as a Netherlander (and sometimes as a Frenchman), although he never comp…

The sacra infantia in Medieval Hagiography
In his De civitate Dei , Augustine stated that anyone who wants to lead a good and Christian life must necessarily have lived in sin in his life up to then. It is quite conceivable that Augustine had his own course of life in mind when writing these words; he never made a secret of his own sinful youth, as is clear from the Confessiones . None the less, his statement is expressed in the form of a general rule. Many medieval saints’ lives seem to …
