Document Details : Title: When did Giles of Rome Lecture on the Sentences? Author(s): COURTENAY, William J. Journal: Augustiniana Volume: 75 Issue: 1 Date: 2025 Pages: 169-190 DOI: 10.2143/AUG.75.1.3294283 Abstract : Until the 1960s, historians dated Giles of Rome’s commenting on the Sentences at Paris to 1276-1277. This date was proposed by Pierre Mandonnet in 1910 and accepted by Palémon Glorieux, Friedrich Stegmüller, Eelcko Ypma, and Peter Nash; Ypma a specialist in the educational program of the Augustinian Order and Nash, a scholar on Giles of Rome. Since then, especially after Robert Wielockx’s introduction to his edition of Giles’ Apologia, scholars have dated Giles’ baccalaureate to 1271-1273, during Thomas Aquinas’ second time as regent master at Paris. This article reopens the question of dating and presents evidence that supports Mandonnet’s dating. The question of dating affects the biography of Giles, his academic status when charged with suspect teaching in 1277, the date in which his magisterial proposition on the relation of will and reason was conceded, and his licensing and inception as master of theology in 1285 or 1286. |
