Schools & Scholars in Fourteenth-century England by William J. Courtenay Pdf

William Courtenay provides a comprehensive account of educational structure and intellectual life in fourteenth-century England. Arguing that the two decades between 1320 and 1340 merit recognition as a golden age of English scholasticism, he examines the achievements of this period, their origins, and their adoption throughout continental Europe. He depicts an institutional setting, centered on Oxford but including cathedral and mendicant schools elsewhere, that rewarded not slavish obedience to school traditions but innovations in logic, mathematics, physics, and theology. He then analyzes the second half of the century, when thinkers like Wyclif moved toward more evangelical writing, when law outstripped theology in popularity at Oxford, and when courtly society replaced the schools as the major influence on English culture. Anticipating aspects of the sixteenth century, England after 1360 experienced an increase in lay literacy and a wider audience for biblical study, sermons, devotional treatises, and vernacular literature. The scope of Professor Courtenay's study of this transition from the world of Ockham to the world of Chaucer makes it of interest not only as a contribution to late medieval intellectual history but also as background for the study of Middle English literature.

Early Thirteenth-Century English Franciscan Thought by Lydia Schumacher Pdf

The thirteenth century was a dynamic period in intellectual history which witnessed the establishment of the first universities, most famously at Paris and Oxford. At these and other major European centres of learning, English-born Franciscans came to hold prominent roles both in the university faculties of the arts and theology and in the local studia across Europe that were primarily responsible for training Franciscans. This volume explores the contributions to scholarship of some of the leading English Franciscans or Franciscan associates from this period, including Roger Bacon, Adam Marsh, John Pecham, Thomas of Yorke, Roger Marston, Robert Grosseteste, Adam of Exeter, Richard Rufus of Cornwall, and Bartholomew of England. Through focussed studies of these figures’ signature ideas, contributions will provide a basis for drawing comparisons between the English Franciscan school and others that existed at the time, most famously at Paris.

Thirteenth Century England XVIII by Carl Watkins,Andrew M. Spencer Pdf

Essays exploring and problematizing the idea of an "exceptional" England within Western Europe during the long thirteenth century. The theme of this volume, "Exceptional England", follows on from that of the previous one, "England in Europe". Both respond to two long-term historiographical trends among British medievalists: to place England and Britain in a wider European context, and, conversely, to emphasise the differences between developments in England and those elsewhere, either explicitly or implicitly. The essays here, in tackling aspects of political, religious, cultural and urban history, are often concerned with shifts that transcend the "national" because they are driven by forces operating on a European, or at least a western European, scale. A number bring developments in England into conversation with those in other regions, turning not only to France, a traditional comparator, but also ranging further, using Poland, Italy, Spain and Hungary as points of comparison. Others problematise England's boundaries by considering the fates of people caught between worlds as English continental possessions shrank. If England emerges in these essays as rather less "exceptional", some of the contributions highlight its unusually rich sources, suggesting ways in which these riches might illuminate the history of Europe in the long thirteenth century more generally. Particular subjects addressed include the fortunes of the knightly class, the dynamics of episcopal election, and models of child kingship, along with new studies of Gerald of Wales and Simon de Montfort.

Church and Crown in the Fourteenth Century by H.S. Offler,A.I. Doyle Pdf

This title was first published in 2000: This second volume of studies by the late Professor Offler looks first at the interaction of the temporal and spiritual powers in Germany, Italy, France and England, especially in the earlier 14th century. A second focus is on the political works of William of Ockham, the editions of which represented a major part of Offler’s work. Particular articles include an examination of the government of late medieval Germany, and the publication of two sermons by Pope Clement VI. The final piece, hitherto unpublished, provides an edition and study of the Latin version of the ’victory sermon’ of Thomas Bradwardine, delivered in late 1346 before Edward III and the English army at the siege of Calais. The introduction, by L.E. Scales, discusses the present state of Offler’s scholarship and is followed by a complete bibliography of his publications.

Thomas Bradwardine: A View of Time and a Vision of Eternity in Fourteenth-Century Thought by Edith Wilks Dolnikowski Pdf

This volume evaluates Thomas Bradwardine's view of time as a mathematical, philosophical and theological concept within the context of ancient and medieval discussions of the problem of time. The book begins with an historiographical analysis of Bradwardine's mathematical and theological works, followed by an examination of the problem of time in classical, early medieval and thirteenth-century texts. Next, a series of chapters surveys Bradwardine's view of time as it related to proportionality, contingency, continuity and predestination. A final chapter establishes Bradwardine's place among fourteenth-century natural philosophers and theologians. As it uses a wide range of Bradwardine's writings, this book is able to show how Bradwardine's philosophical and theological views converged. This study is especially useful for historians of late medieval science, philosophy and theology.
