Andrea Alciati Andreae Alciati contra vitam monasticam epistula
Criticism of monastic life by one of Europe's major Renaissance figures. In his letter Against Monastic Life (1514-17) Andrea Alciato, an Italian jurist and writer famous for his Emblemata, urges his friend Bernardus Mattius to reconsider his choice of monastic life. Alciato makes his argument by criticizing religious superstition, the Church's hierarchy, and monastic practices, particularly the Franciscans' hypocrisy, wealth, and divisiveness. Instead, he defends a stoic, civic humanism. Due to...

John Barclay Icon animorum or The mirror of minds
Original Latin text with English translation on facing pages. In this essay from 1614 the Neo-Latin poet, translator, and commentator John Barclay describes the manners and mores of his European contemporaries.

Juan Carlos Flores Henry of Ghent: metaphysics and the trinity
with a critical edition of question six of article fifty-five of the Summa Quaestionum Ordinariarum
The book elucidates Henry of Ghent's philosophical and theological system with special reference to his trinitarian writings. It demonstrates the fundamental role of the Trinity in Henry's philosophy and theology. It also shows how Henry (d. 1293), the most influential theologian of his day at Paris, developed the Augustinian tradition in seminal ways in response to the Aristotelian tradition, especially Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274).

Magdalena Bieniak The soul-body problem at Paris, ca. 1200-1250
Hugh of St-Cher and his contemporaries
The soul-body problem was among the most controversial issues discussed in 13th century Europe, and it continues to capture much attention today as the quest to understand human identity becomes more and more urgent. What made the discussion about this problem particularly interesting in the scholastic period was the tension between the traditional dualist doctrines and a growing need to affirm the unity of the human being. This debate is frequently interpreted as a conflict between the 'new' philosophy,...

Horatius Pluk de dag
vijftig oden
De dichter Horatius (65-8 v.Chr.) voorspelde dat zijn roem zo lang zou duren als het Romeinse rijk. Hij overtrof zijn eigen verwachtingen: meer dan twee millennia na hun verschijnen blijken zijn gedichten nog springlevend. Gevleugelde woorden als ‘pluk de dag’, ‘de gulden middenweg’ en ‘ik zal niet helemaal sterven’ trotseerden de tijd. De inspirator van talloze dichters (van Petrarca tot Auden) heet terecht de vader van de westerse lyriek. Paul Claes plukte uit Horatius’ oden een tros van vijftig...

Henrico de Gandavo Syncategoremata
Henrico de Gandavo adscripta
The Stadsbibliotheek of Brugge houses a manuscript (ms. 510, f. 227ra-237vb) that holds a short logical text on the Syncategoremata, e.g. words that are not subjects or predicates in proposition. In this manuscript the text is ascribed to Henry of Ghent, who was a leading thinker of the second half of the thirteenth century. The highly interesting text contains some typical themes of Henry of Ghent, e.g. the distinction between esse essentiae and esse existentiae, which further supports the attribution...
