Bertholdus de Mosburch, Expositio super Elementationem theologicam Procli, prop. 108-135
Abstract
The volume contains the critical edition of the Expositio super Elementationem theologicam Procli (prop. 108-135) by the German Dominican Berthold of Moosburg. This portion of text (De diis), is devoted to the return of the creatures in the first cause. The edition offers a privileged insight into the theological and philosopical debates of Berthold's time thanks to a well-documented investigations into Berthold's sources. An introduction (p. IX-XVIII) points to the vivid doctrinal context of Berthold's text, particularly by reconstructing the role played by authorities nearer to Berthold's own time in influencing his thought. Berthold does not by explicit citation indicate the passages where in reality he can be found paraphrasing or excerting from his authorities. However, Berthold’s dependence for lengthy passages of his commentary on previous doctrinal summae is an important fact to be borne in mind when evaluating the combinations of more ancient authorities that are used to bolster particular arguments. The introduction studies in depth the role played by the English Franciscan Thomas of York in Berthold's Commentary on Proclus. The systematic investigation of the relationship between the text of the two authors shows that Berthold quotes more from Thomas of York than from his Dominican predecessors in the Teutonic Province (Albert the Great, Ulrich of Strasburg and Dietrich if Freiberg). In particular the conviction running through Thomas of York’s Sapientale that the writings attributed to “Hermes Trismegistus” contained a quasi-Christian insight into the highest truths also lies behind Berthold’s specific strategies in employing clusters of Hermetic citations in order to reinforce the argument of Proclus’ text.
