medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I've been wondering about this for years! Given that the two are used together, as alternatives, in canonization processes, I think they must be considered significantly different. But it's not clear what a miracle that transcended nature (my tr. of praeter) would be.

Greetings learned ones,
Can anyone tell me when the theological definition of a miracle as something  contrary to nature (contra naturam) developed?  Would medieval theologians (or others) have distinguished between "praeter naturam" and "contra naturam"?
