{"product_id":"henrici-de-gandavo-quodlibet-vii-g-wilson-9789061864486","title":"Henrici de Gandavo Quodlibet VII","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe editon of Henry of Ghent's \u003ci\u003eQuodlibet VII\u003c\/i\u003e makes available the critical text of an influential work. Written near the end of 1282, this \u003ci\u003eQuodlibet\u003c\/i\u003e is perhaps best known because it contains Henry's initial discussion of the papal bull \u003ci\u003eAd fructus uberes\u003c\/i\u003e, which had granted certain exaggerated privileges to the mendicants. Henry's text puts forward arguments which limit wide interpretations of the bull and sets forth a position which favors the secular clergy. These arguments set the stage for discussions of the privileges granted by the papal bull. Indeed, Richard of Mediavilla in his\u003ci\u003e Quaestio Privilegii Papae Martini\u003c\/i\u003e makes a case for the mendicants by addressing the arguments of \u003ci\u003eQuodlibet VII \u003c\/i\u003epoint by point. Henry himself reiterates and elaborates his arguments in subsequent \u003ci\u003eQuodlibeta\u003c\/i\u003e and in the \u003ci\u003eTractatus super facto praelatorum et fratrum\u003c\/i\u003e. His analyses of \u003ci\u003eAd fructus uberes\u003c\/i\u003e leads to discussions of poverty in the religious life, which Henry argues is not a perfection but a means to perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eQuodlibet VII\u003c\/i\u003e also treats more philosophical matters, e.g. transcendentals, God's essence and knowledge, knowledge of the divine essence, genus, difference, matter, relation, quantity, human knowledge, and the human body. In addition, the text contains a response to some claims in Berthaud of Saint Denis' \u003ci\u003eQuodlibet I\u003c\/i\u003e, q17. This fellow secular master has not been studied or edited, but he emerges here and in the \u003ci\u003eTractatus\u003c\/i\u003e as a secular master with whom Henry disagreed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e G.
