Abstract

This volume continues Professor Roland Teske's translation of a series of important questions from Henry of Ghent's Summa of Ordinary Questions (Summa quaestionum ordinarium). It contains the Latin text of questions 25 through 30 (which treat of God's unity and simplicity), a close English translation, a philosophical introduction, and notes identifying all of Henry's sources. Moreover, there is a glossary of Henry's often complex technical terminology. The questions translated in this volume impressively reflect the changed intellectual climate in the last quarter of the thirteenth century, after the condemnations of 1277. To Henry, Aristotelianism is not a viable option for a Christian thinker. Reading the Philosopher "with greater historical accuracy than Thomas Aquinas," as Teske writes, Henry reaffirms the Catholic faith vigorously against the influence of a philosophy that, in his view, applies principles of Greek metaphysics to Christianity without sufficient discernment. Henry develops many of his positions in critical dialogue with Thomas Aquinas, whom he associates with the overly enthusiastic kind of Aristotelianism that he helped condemn in 1277.

Abstract

Reading a variety of texts centred in the power and agency of women during the period 1385 to 1620, this book examines changing ideals of gender within the context of changing ideologies of governance and polity. Together the essays that comprise this book lay out three lines of thinking about women and polity: that the ideology of late medieval gender roles articulated in Anglo-French texts of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries outlined important roles for women’s voice and agency in supporting the larger polity as well as the smaller household; that the acceptance and the value of those roles diminished as models of polity in both Church and State in England changed in the early modern period; that to see this change merely in terms of change in expectations of gender roles is to miss the vital link between the status of women and the political construction of individual relationship to authority. Woman is the site on which society delineates the degree of freedom and independence it will tolerate in the political subject. The attention directed to women’s roles in the plethora of woman-centred stories, courtesy books, prayer books, sermons and tracts in the period 1385-1620 is an index to shifting alignments of power that replaced medieval models of partnership and co-operation with models of obedience.

Abstract

L’ouvrage propose un objet d’étude fascinant et paradoxal à la fois, celui des crises et du renouvellement des élites au haut Moyen Âge. Laissant de côté les concepts de noblesse on d’aristocratie, il adopte celui d’élites, emprunté à la sociologie, et braque ainsi le projecteur sur tous ceux qui d’une manière ou d’une autre exercent, dans leur champ, un pouvoir social lié à l’excellence, que ce soit celle de la naissance et du sang, on celle de la capacité, dans une activité quelconque, à se distinguer et à en tirer prestige, richesse ou honneur, celle du savoir enfin. Il prend donc en compte les élites du royaume autant que celle du village, les ecclésiastiques comme les laïcs. Reprenant l’idée de circulation des élites, il recherche les processus qui ont permis aux élites de survivre aux crises et de continuer d’asseoir leur domination quand le changement est si fort qu’il affecte l’ensemble de la société. L’enquête a été conduite sur la longue durée, depuis la fin du monde antique jusqu’au XIe siecle, et dans diverses régions (Espagne, France, Allemagne, Italie). Elle s’est attachée à des moments particuliers de mutation, à des types de crises, à des groupes d’élites en difficulté, à des familles qui ont connu une ascension rapide avant de s’effacer lentement… Les crises ont exacerbé la compétition sociale, elles ont aussi accéleré la mobilité et le renouvellement des élites. Indubitablement, les élites out survécu aux crises en tant que groupes dominants, mais assurément, dans la durée, elles ne se composaient ni des mêmes groupes, ni des mêmes familles.
