Spicilegium Friburgense 34 - De Kegel
Vom spanischen Theologen Johannes von Segovia ist vor allem die Historia gestorum generalis synodi Basiliensis bekannt geworden, in welcher er den Ist-Zustand des Basler Konzils (1431-1449) erarbeitet hat; erstmals im Druck zuganglich gemacht wird hier der Liber de 111agna auctotitate episcoporum, in welchem der Soll-Zustand einnes allgemeinen Konzils dargestellt wird. Die Hervorhebung des status episcoprum bringt einerseits den Ausschluss der Laien vom Generalkonzil - Segovia war keineswegs so egalitar wie radikale Richtungen auf dem Basler Konzil - und verbindet andererseits Kirche und Bischofskollegium so konsequent miteinander, wie es kaum ein anderer Autor seiner Zeit getan hat. In eingehender Behandlung der damaligen Verfassungstheorien hat Segovia versucht, aus der Sackgasse des schroffen Konziliarismus/Papalismus herauszufuhren, mit welchem die Kirche nicht leben konnte.

Nicholas of Cusa on Christ and the Church
This volume contains studies on Nicholas of Cusa and his times. The first section is concerned with Cusanus' context, beginning with a historiographic essay by Francis Oakley on the impact of Brian Tierney's Foundations of the Conciliar Theory. Among the topics addressed are the long-term continuation of the Council of Basel (1431-1449) and the issues of ecclesiastical income which it addressed. The second part is concerned with Cusanus' thought on the Church, both in his conciliarist and papalist phases. Included is the first translation into English of Nicholas' Reformatio generalis. Attention also is paid to Cusanus' reforming efforts and the relationship of his thought on these issues to his earliest speculative writings. The third part is concerned with Nicholas' ideas on Christ and mystical experience. Particular attention is paid to the De visione dei, including its relationship to Renaissance art. The volume concludes with wide-ranging essays on the larger significance of Cusanus' speculative thought. An update of Thomas M. Izbicki's bibliography of Cusanus scholarship in English is included.
Juan de Segovia and the Qur’an
In spring 1456, with the help of the faqīh Yça Gidelli, Juan de Segovia accomplished a trilingual Qur’an (Castilian, Arabic and Latin) he regarded as fundamental to the conversion of the Muslims after the Ottoman conquest of Byzantium. This book delves into Segovia’s program, from his university lectures at Salamanca to the disputes held with Muslims in Castile, from the doctrinal debates at the Council of Basel to his exile in the Duchy of Savoy and the destiny of his books. Segovia deemed the await of miracles, preaching in Islamic lands, and the Crusade promoted by the papacy, to be useless. On the contrary, he considered knowledge of the Qur'an as unavoidable for Christian scholars...
Order & Exclusion
Order and Exclusion is a rare and magnificent book of medieval history with clear relevance to today's headlines. Through the lens of the polemics of Peter the Venerable, abbot of Cluny, Dominique Iogna-Prat examines the process by which christianity transformed itself into Christendom, a powerful spiritual, social, and political system with pretensions to universality. Iogna-Prat's close examination of a set of writings central to the history of Catholicism resolves into a deeply troubling study of the origins of attitudes that continue to shape world events. Iogna-Prat writes that "versions of fundamentalism nourished by the soil of an often terrible common history" show that Christianity,...
The Crusade of Frederick Barbarossa
This is the first English translation of the main contemporary accounts of the Crusade and death of the German Frederick I Barbarossa (ruled 1152-90). The most important of these, the 'History of the Expedition of the Emperor Frederick' was written soon after the events described, and is a crucial, and under-used source for the Third Crusade (at least in the Anglophone world). The account begins with two letters describing the disaster of Hattin and Saladin's subsequent conquest of most of the Holy Land (the second of these is addressed to the duke of Austria). It goes on to describe how the emperor took the Cross, the preparations and recruitment for the Crusade, the diplomatic contacts of ...

Väter der Kirche
Die Kirche lebt aus ihren lebendigen Quellen. Neben der Heiligen Schrift sind dies in erster Linie die Kirchenväter und die Konzilsväter, die durch ihr Leben und mit ihren Schriften der Kirche Gestalt gegeben haben. Wie aber verstanden sie selbst die Kirche und wie haben spätere Theologen wiederum ihre Bedeutung für die Kirche bewertet? Der vorliegende Sammelband soll diesen Fragen nachgehen. Für die Kirchen- und Konzilsväter selbst steht dabei ihr Kirchenverständnis im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung, für die mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Theologen soll vor allem der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Rolle die Rezeption der Kirchenväter für die Ausgestaltung ihres eigenen Kirch...
