Religionsdialoge und Wissensordnungen in Antike, Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit
In einer bewusst gewählten historischen Tiefe analysieren die Beiträger dieses Bandes die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Judentum, Christentum und Islam von der Antike bis zur Frühen Neuzeit. Im Zentrum steht dabei die geschichtliche Entfaltung der Systeme von Wissen und Wissenschaften und die Frage, wie sich das, was in methodisch strenger Hinsicht als Offenbarungstheologie gelten kann, innerhalb verschiedener epistemologischer Ordnungen artikulierte…
Historische Wechselbeziehungen religiöser Kulturen und Vernunftkritik
It is generally assumed that, from the twelfth century onwards, concepts of philosophical rationality played an increasing role in Christian apologetics vis-à-vis Jews and Muslims. Suchadevelopment fits well alongside the established account of ageneral rationalization process, involving significant changes in almost every area of social and intellectual life, during the twelfth century. However, it would be a misunderstanding to see the importan…
Christian Readings of Rabbinic Sources in Medieval Polemic
While polemics and dialogue between Judaism and Christianity are as old as the Christian religion itself, different periods, trends and intensities in the relations between the faiths can be distinguished clearly. A significant landmark in this long and complex history is the Christian engagement with Rabbinic Judaism which, during the thirteenth century, led to the Latin translation of large sections of the Talmud, the most important Jewish post…
John Wyclif’s Principium Biblicum Revisited
John Wyclif’s principium biblicum , that is to say, his inception speech as a Master of Theology at Oxford, dating from 1372/1373, has received scant scholarly attention. Discovered and edited in the 1960s by Beryl Smalley, it has long been considered a typical representative of its genre. A closer look at Wyclif’s text in the light of current principia -scholarship, and in particular of Robert Grosseteste’s recently identified inception speech, …
Stephen of Besançon's Principium in Aula (1286)
The inception speeches delivered by graduating masters of theology during the thirteenth century are of paramount interest for the study of the history of theology. Much like the introductions to philosophy written within the Faculty of Arts at Paris during the same period, the so-called principia articulated the image that theology entertained of itself at that time. Interestingly enough, some graduating masters took the opportunity to present a…
The Latin Talmud and the Extension of Papal Jurisdiction over Jews
This paper addresses the question of how the Latin translation of the Talmud, known as the Extractiones de Talmud (1245) , is related to the changing perception of the Jews and in particular to the reassessment of their legal status during the thirteenth century. It draws particular attention to Pope Gregory IXâ s description of the Talmud as another law â an alia lex, as he called it â which challenged the traditional representation of the Jews …
The Inception Speech of Galdericus as an Introduction to Thirteenth-Century Theology and Philosophy
À partir du discours de réception « Girum celi » du moine bénédictin Galdericus, cet article tente d’établir un lien entre la littérature théologique des « principia » et les introductions à la philosophie de la première moitié du xiii e siècle. L’analyse montre que Galdericus connaissait très bien non seulement la tradition augustinienne et victorine, mais aussi les divisions contemporaines de la philosophie qui ont été écrites à la Faculté des …
Avicena y Gerardo de Cremona sobre la frenitis
Este artículo es un estudio piloto para una comparación sistemática entre el texto árabe y latino del Qānūn fī aṭ-Ṭibb de Avicena. Con este propósito, ofrecemos una edición preliminar de un pasaje del Tercer Libro de esta gran enciclopedia médica en la traducción latina preparada por Gerardo de Cremona en Toledo en la segunda mitad del siglo XII. El análisis de este fragmento nos permite describir con rigor aspectos clave de la técnica de traducc…
Signs vs. Causes? An Epistemological Approach to Prognosis in the Latin Middle Ages
Desde el siglo XII, las disciplinas pronósticas formaban una parte integral del ordo scientiarum latino. Esto es cierto para la astrología y la adivinación, así como también para la medicina y la predicción del tiempo. Mientras que se han estudiado con detalle los debates morales acerca del conocimiento del futuro en la Edad Media, el reto epistemológico de integrar esta forma del saber en un marco teórico coherente se ha descuidado hasta ahora. …
Towards A New Approach To Medieval Cross- Cultural Exchanges
This paper discusses the interpretive approach to cross-cultural transfer of knowledge as proposed by early twentieth-century scholars, in particular Charles Homer Haskins, and their successors after the Second World War. It describes this approach as teleological, linear, mono-cultural and static. It traces the changes that several historians of mathematics, science and medicine proposed to this type of observer narrative and shows that in the 1…
Ponç Carbonell and the Early Franciscan Reception of the Pugio fidei
Ramon Martí’s Pugio fidei ( Dagger of Faith , ca. 1280) is beyond any doubt a hallmark in the history of Christian-Jewish polemic. Nonetheless, it has been claimed that the Catalan Dominican had hardly any influence on subsequent authors. This paper draws attention to the Franciscan Ponç Carbonell (ca. 1260-ca. 1337), an eminent Biblicist of the early 14th century, who is one of the first authors to quote the Pugio explicitly. In doing so, the pa…
Divination and Scientific Prediction
Starting with a survey of the terminology that was used to describe the epistemological status of the mantic arts during the Middle Ages, this article focuses on the connections between the theoretical assumptions of these arts and of other prognostic disciplines of the time. While during the thirteenth century, mantic disciplines, medicine and meteorology were classified altogether as conjectural sciences that were all based on the interpretatio…
Augustine to Aquinas (Latin-Christian Authors)
Augustine to Aquinas (Latin-Christian Authors)
Thomas Aquinas integrated the newly translated philosophical source that is Greek, Arabic, and Jewish authors into a unique synthesis with his own Christian tradition efficiently. The most prominent and certainly one of the most influential, among Aquinas's Latin-Christian authors of reference was Augustine of Hippo (354–430). The North African bishop had a significant influence on intellectual discussion at the end of the twelfth and during the …

Ramon Llull und Nikolaus von Kues: Eine Begegnung im Zeichen der Toleranz - Raimondo Lullo e Niccolò Cusano: Un incontro nel segno della tolleranza
The Arabic Version of the Nicomachean Ethics
This volume offers a critical edition of the only extant Arabic manuscript of the Nicomachean Ethics. A comprehensive introduction by the late Douglas M. Dunlop describes the influence this major Aristotelian work had on Arabic literature. Dunlop’s annotated English translation includes important references to the Greek text of the Ethics. The appendix includes a select Greek-Arabic glossary.
Metaphysics in the twelfth century
"Although metaphysics as a discipline can hardly be separated from Aristotle and his works, the questions it raises were certainly known to authors even before the reception of Aristotle in the thirteenth century. Even without the explicit use of this term the twelfth century manifested a strong interest in metaphysical questions under the guise of "natural philosophy" or "divine science", leading M.-D. Chenu to coin the expression of the twelfth…

On the Supposed “Augustinisme Avicennisant” of Dominicus Gundissalinus
A partir da noção gilsoniana de 'agostinismo avicenisante', procura-se mostrar que o pensamento filosófico de Gundissalino é, sim, devedor de Avicena, mas que a principal fonte cristã que o orienta não é propriamente Agostinho, mas Boécio. Para tanto são analisados três tópicos da obra de Gundissalino referentes às ciências: o objeto delas, o caráter axiomático e o método
Philosophie Und Physik Zwischen Notwendigem Und Hypothetischem Wissen Zur Wissenstheoretischen Bestimmung Der Physik in Der Philosophia Des Wilhelm Von Conches
A number of studies have investigated how the renewed interest in Plato's Timaeus led twelfth-century natural philosophers to take a growing interest in the material aspects of nature. By contrast, the implications of the resulting theories for the development of scientific knowledge have so far received but scant attention. But, as is shown in this paper, William of Conches, one of the most important natural philosophers of that age, not only br…
