The \u003cem\u003eQuaestiones Theologiae\u003c\/em\u003e are based on disputations led by Langton in front of his learned audience and circulated in manuscript form. This is the first printed edition and contains critical apparatus, source notes, and a philological introduction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore Stephen Langton († 1228) was consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury, he was a prominent master of theology, belonging to the first generation of masters working in the Theology Faculty of the University of Paris. The \u003cem\u003eQuaestiones Theologie \u003c\/em\u003econstitute his chief theological work. The manuscript tradition of the Quaestiones originates in written reports (reportationes) of oral disputations held by Langton in Paris between c. 1180 and 1206. They reflect the development of Parisian educational practices and bring the contemporary reader very close to the first university lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume offers the first critical edition of Stephen Langton's \u003cem\u003eQuaestiones Theologiae\u003c\/em\u003e, Book I, containing 23 Quaestiones on theological language, Trinity and God's attributes. Each question is accompanied by a critical apparatus, extensive source notes and a separate philological introduction which explains the history of transmission and the main editorial problems of each text. The volume also contains a general introduction to the whole corpus of Langton's Quaestiones, a presentation of philosophical and theological contents of Book I (including a chapter by E. Jennifer Ashworth) and an appendix, offering the first critical edition of a short fragment of Langton's Summa.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe edition offered in this book, and the philological analysis which precedes it, represent a significant contribution to the history of the early scholasticism, offering a ground-breaking study of an extremely complex work, which originates in oral teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55862368108918,"sku":"9780197265727","price":139.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35457257_56686d33-f1ee-4351-8039-f4e84353e147.jpg?v=1753310683","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780197265727-stephen-langton","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
