Gregorii Ariminensis OESA Lectura super primum et secundum sententiarum 1

Meer over het boek

This work delves into the intricate discussions surrounding theological concepts, structured through a series of questions and distinctions. It begins with an exploration of the origins of the Sentenzenkommentars and proceeds to examine the manuscripts and printed editions available. The text then analyzes the relationships among various textual witnesses. The prologue sets the stage for a series of inquiries into the nature of theological knowledge, questioning whether such knowledge can be acquired through theological discourse and if it can be classified as science or opinion. It further investigates the unity of theological conclusions and the nature of God as the subject of theology, contemplating whether theology is speculative or practical. Subsequent distinctions lead to inquiries about the nature of use and enjoyment, the role of the will in enjoyment, and the ultimate necessity of enjoying God alone. Additional questions address the self-evidence of God's existence, our natural understanding of sensible and insensible things, and the intuitive knowledge of singular sensibles. The work continues to probe the divine essence, questioning whether it generates or is generated, and whether it serves as both the subject and formal term of divine generation. The final distinctions focus on the nature of the Father’s generation of the Son, examining whether this occurs by nature, necessity, or will.
