Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La riflessione di Tommaso d'Aquino si è più volte e a lungo soffermata sui misteri di Gesù. Non solo egli ha messo in luce le componenti "astratte" o "strutturali" della persona di Cristo, ma ha volto la sua attenzione analitica e appassionata - ciò che avverrà sempre meno in seguito - alle sue azioni, alla sua "storia", dalla concezione alla esaltazione, elaborandone una ricca e avvincente teologia. Ogni gesto del Signore è ricercato e accostato con l'esegesi letterale e con le risorse dell'esegesi "spirituale", così da poterne riscoprire il senso, la "logica", il valore o, come dice Tommaso stesso, la "convenienza". Questa trattazione dei misteri di Gesù riceve la sua forma più compiuta e matura nelle questioni 27-59 della Tertia Pars della Summa Theologiae, ma essa si ritrova anche in diverse altre opere dell'Angelico, che precedono o anche accompagnano la composizione della Summa. Con questo volume Inos Biffi ricostruisce la teologia dei misteri di Gesù ricorrente in queste opere e rilevata sia nei suoi contenuti analitici sia nel suo significato in rapporto alla sistemazione teologica di san Tommaso. Ai misteri nella Summa Theologiae sarà dedicato un secondo volume. Oggi è sentita come urgente e indispensabile una cristologia "concreta". Il Dottore Angelico ne ha offerto un metodo e un modello ancora esemplari. Del resto, la figura di Gesù ha rappresentato l'Oggetto più appassionato di tutta la ricerca dell'Angelico.

Download or read book Old Age in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an extensive introduction that takes stock of the relevant research literature on Old Age in the Middle Ages and the early modern age, the contributors discuss the phenomenon of old age in many different fields of late antique, medieval, and early modern literature, history, and art history. Both Beowulf and the Hildebrandslied, both Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival and Titurel, both the figure of Merlin and the trans-European tradition of Perceval/Peredur/Parzival, then the figure of the vetula in a variety of medieval French, English, and Spanish texts, and of the Old Man in The Stricker's Daniel, both the treatment of old age in Langland's Piers the Plowman and in Jean Gerson's sermons are dealt with. Other aspects involve late-antique epistolary literature, early modern French farce in light of Disability Studies, the social role of old, impotent men in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Netherlandish paintings, and the scientific discourse of old age and health since the 1500s. The discourse of Old Age proves to have been of central importance throughout the ages, so the critical examination of the issues involved sheds intriguing light on the cultural history from late antiquity to the seventeenth century.

Download or read book The Vocabulary of Intellectual Life in the Middle Ages written by Mariken Teeuwen and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latin vocabulary of intellectual life in the Middle Ages has been the focus of the CIVICIMA-series: nine volumes of conference-proceedings, monographs and collective works. The series has proved convincingly that analyses of the verbal expressions of medieval intellectual life and their precise meanings is a worthwhile and rewarding task, which sharpens and deepens our understanding of education and learning in the medieval world. With this tenth volume the series has been brought to a conclusion. It serves as a handbook, a practical tool for finding information and material about a considerable number of key terms, which have been classified in four categories of technical vocabulary--terms that developed specialized meanings in the context of medieval education and learning. The first category consists of the vocabulary of schools and universities (for instance, schola, magister, universitas, etc.); the second the vocabulary of the book and book production (for instance, armarium, pecia, scriptorium, etc.); the third treats the vocabulary of teaching-methods, instruments and products of intellectual life (for instance, concordantia, disputatio, glossa, etc.); the fourth the names of the disciplines, their teachers and students (for instance, artes liberales, canonista, decretista, theologia, etc.). Terms from these four categories are treated, either individually or in groups coherent with respect to content, in short and uniform articles. Their medieval meanings are described, together with their origins, their classical meanings, their semantic development, and the historical or regional differences in meaning.
Download or read book The Way of Hermes written by Hermes (Trismegistus.) and published by Bristol Classical Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of short philosphical treatises, a powerful fusion of Greek and Egyptian thought, written in Greek in Alexandria between the first and third centuries AD and rediscovered in the West in the fifteenth century when it was first translated into Latin by the great scholar and philosopher Marsilio Ficino. These writing were believed from antiquity up to the early seventeenth century to be the writings of Hermes Trismegistus, 'thrice-great Hermes', the name given by Greeks of the classical and Hellenistic periods to the Ibis-headed Egyption god Thoth. They were central to the spiritual work of Hermetic societies in late antique Alexandria, aiming to awake gnosis, the direct realistion of the truth of the identity of the invividual and the Supreme, and are still read as inspirational writings today.

Download or read book The Mistressclass written by Michele Roberts and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam is a writer, struggling to come to terms with the death of his painter father, Robert, and his difficult marriage to Catherine. Before he married Catherine, he had been the lover of her sister, Vinny. The classic menage à trois seems about to repeat itself, when Adam discovers his wife's father was less innocent than he had thought. Set mainly in contemporary London, partly in France, the action also harks back to the 1970's. The narrative evokes the style of the nineteenth century novelists and their themes: desire, guilt, pleasure. Pastoral landscapes alternate with those of the inner city and the past's interaction with the present is acted out by ghosts. The dead father haunts his son; in real life Vinny haunts her sister; and the whole novel is haunted by one of its great earliest exponents, Charlotte Bronte, and her passionate search for creative fulfilment.
