Philip the Chancellor’s Theology of the Hypostatic Union

Studies and Texts 32. 1975. 234 pp. ISBN 978-0-88844-032-7

For the theology of the Hypostatic Union (the union of the Son of God with the human form), the early thirteenth century was decisive, because in that period theologians resolved debates about three opinions on the subject that had divided earlier schoolmen. This volume examines the thought of Philip the Chancellor (ca. 1170–1236).

Robert of Flamborough, Liber poenitentialis

Studies and Texts 18. 1971. xxx, 364 pp. ISBN 978-0-88844-018-1 • $79.95

A critical edition of a manual of instruction for confessors is a useful instrument for research into the religious, moral and social climate of life in the Church. The Liber poenitentialis of Robert of Flamborough is particularly important in this regard. For it was through this work that the new, formal, “scientific” canon law, which had been developed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, first became available to the ordinary confessor and so began to influence the consciences of individuals in a new, very effective way. The consequences of this will merit much study and investigation; it is hoped that the present edition will prove to be an aid for research of this kind.

Richard of Campsall. Works I: Questiones super librum priorum analeticorum

Studies and Texts 17. 1968. 326 pp. ISBN 978–0–88844–017–4 • $64.95

This volume contains the Latin text of Richard of Campsall’s Questiones super librum priorum analeticorum from the single manuscript copy, as well as an informative and well-written introduction. Richard, cleric of the archdiocese of York and master of theology, fellow of Balliol and later fellow of Merton College, died somewhere around 1350/1360. The questions, probably written before 1306, concentrated on three basic themes: syllogism, conversion, and consequences. The treatise demonstrates the state of logic at Oxford in the first decades of the fourteenth century.
