medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I don't have it on hand (it's in my work office), but if I recall the first essay in this book discusses this issue.  I think it also delineates the difference in medieval thought between miracula and miribilia with respect to these natural categories.

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"?
