Abstract

The Abel Distinctions' translates the first edition of Peter the Chanter's innovated 'symbol dictionary' from the late twelfth century. Peter the Chanter was a master at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in the late 12th century. Among his many works is 'The Abel Distinctions', an alphabetized collection that treats key words by 'distinguishing' their various symbolic meanings in accordance with the traditions of biblical exegesis. The work was innovative in form and deeply conservative in content. Of special use to preachers who would shape a sermon around such sets of distinctions, it also appealed in general to clerics and laity interested in biblical meaning and allegory. 'The Abel Distinctions' may have been the first collection of its kind; it spawned dozens of imitators through the next two centuries and more. Its immense popularity and influence is indicated by its nearly ninety extant manuscripts. The source text of this volume appeared in 'Corpus Christianorum. Continuatio Mediaeualis' as Petrus Cantor, 'Distinctiones Abel' ('CCCM', 288-288A). References to the corresponding pages of the 'Corpus Christianorum' edition are provided in the margins of this translation.

Abstract

"Peter the Chanter's 'Distinctiones Abel,' now edited for the first time from the manuscripts, is an influential and innovative work of twelfth-century biblical scholarship. Peter the Chanter's Distinctiones Abel displays the multiple senses of some eleven hundred biblical terms and arranges the terms in alphabetical order. Preserved in nearly ninety manuscript copies, it stands at the head of a series of similar aids for preachers and students of the Bible. Its immediate context is the practice of "distinguishing" the senses of terms in a biblical text as the backbone of a sermon, a novel practice employed by several masters of the late twelfth century, notably by Peter's colleague in Paris, Peter Comestor. The Distinctiones Abel was compiled in an age of organization and may be compared with such searchable reference works as Gratian's Decretum, the Glosa Ordinaria, the new Latin dictionaries, and Peter Lombard's Sentences. It is among the first scholarly works to use the alphabet as a technique of information retrieval. Only selections of the work have been printed before; this editio princeps will be of interest to intellectual historians and those interested in medieval biblical studies, homiletics, popular imagery, and allegory. The Introduction itself is a major work of scholarship in a new field. It includes a brief account of Peter the Chanter's life and work, a survey of the genre 'distinctiones,' an extensive desciption of the manuscripts, many of them treated in print for the first time, along with a thorough exposition of the sophisticated methodology of textual criticism employed. Stephen A. Barney has been Associate Professor of English at Yale University, and is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of California, Irvine. Graduated with Highest Honors from the University of Virginia, he received his Ph.D. in English from Harvard University."--Provided by the publisher.

Abstract

Georg Cantor (Saint-Petersbourg, 1845 - Halle, 1918) est un mathématicien allemand de génie qui a révolutionné sa discipline. Père de la théorie des ensembles, il a introduit la notion de nombre infini (1873), faisant ainsi de la mathématique un "paradis". Ce ne fut pas sans difficultés: théoriques, philosophiques et personnelles. C'est cet itinéraire qu'on retrace ici, en contant la vie tragique d'un véritable créateur, qui mourut en clinique psychiatrique, tout en expliquant le plus clairement possible les concepts essentiels qu'il a dégagés en mathématique. Son Œuvre se situe au carrefour d'une rénovation complète de cette science, entre Bolzano et Weierstrass, Hilbert et Gšdel, dans une tradition qui parcourt tout l'héritage de la philosophie occidentale, de Platon et Aristote à Spinoza et Leibniz.
