Document Details : Title: 'Beati pauperes spiritu' Subtitle: Edition of an Anthology by Pseudo-Grosseteste on Voluntary Poverty and Spiritual Enrichment from the London, British Library MS Royal 11 B III, fols 316v-319v Author(s): McEVOY, James , DUNNE, Michael Journal: Recherches de Théologie et Philosophie Médiévales Volume: 72 Issue: 2 Date: 2005 Pages: 363-392 DOI: 10.2143/RTPM.72.2.2004138 Abstract : While searching for manuscripts of the writings of Robert Grosseteste, S.H. Thomson examined British Library MS Royal 11 B III and ascribed a short work on poverty to Grosseteste probably since it was found together with the authentic work De decem mandatis and had been copied by the same scribe. Upon closer examination it is concluded that the work is unlikely to have been written by Grosseteste. Nevertheless, the work is of interest as a highly structured anthology of sources regarding poverty, drawn from both Scripture and tradition. The authors examine the message of the text and analyse its structure. Finally, a first edition of the text is presented. |
