[Let's see if I can send this to the right people this time!]
I seemed to have missed the original posting here, so apologies for
answering in the dark. but, MS 434 is one o the most important
witnesses to early 13th cent. theology that I couldn't resist
|
| I have not got either a complete or a certain answer, but just in case my 'off-the-top-of-my-head'
| answer is of any use & the student is in a hurry, here's something.
|
| [1] I think there are useful references in A. Landgraf's guide, in the French translation, which is La
| scolastique naissante [or] La theologie dans la scolastique naissante; a copy is available near
| you, in the Brotherton Library in Leeds.
Yes, he does refer to it briefly.
|
| [2] I have a memory of using an edition of theological questions contained in Douai 434, edited in
| a journal whose title produces an acronym identical to that of the journal you cite [RTAM], but which
| is different: Recherches de Theologie ancienne et medievale. That is also in Leeds, and that is
| where I think I read this edition - many years ago.
It is not an edition, but a catalogue: P. Glorieux, "Les 527
questions du manuscrit de Douai 414," RTAM 10 (1938) 123-152,
225-267. He does not, if I remember, correctly, include any
description of Stephen Langton's Summa de virtutibus et viciis, which
appears in the ms.'s second volume.
Glorieux then went on to edit the portion of the MS which he called
the Summa douacensis: _Summa douacensis_, ed. P Glorieux, Texts
philosophiques du moyen age, 2 (Paris: Vrin, 1955). This summa was
based on Philip the Chancellor's fascinating work Summa de bono
(which could be affectionally called "summy bono" -- apologies to
Cher).:-)
Another set of questions was edited by the late Walter Principe, all
the christological questions you could ever want to read. They
appeared in _Mediaeval Studies_ between 1982 and 1988.
J-P Torrell, if am not mistaken, also edited some of the De prophetia
questions, which I think were reprinted in his Recherches sur la
theorie de la prophetie au moyen ages, XIIe-XIVe siecles (Fribourg,
1992).
There may be more, but that's all I can recall right now. I am
hoping that some day, when I get my big projects done I can wander
over to France and see this manuscript in situ. The film I consulted
in Toronto a few years ago was virtually unreadable. I suggest you
write to Douai municipal library and request a new film be made.
