Abstract

The Commentary on the Sentences of Durand of Saint-Pourçain in terms of its originality and its importance, with respect to the understanding of the philosophical and theological discourses, has a prominent position within the Sentences commentaries of the fourteenth century. Durand's Commentary is a unique document for many considerable debates concerning the importance and the formative role of the doctrine of Thomas Aquinas. The volume contains the critical edition of Book II, dd. 1-5. This portion of text is devoted to the doctrines of the creation and the angels. The critical edition (p. 3-250) offers for the first time to the scholarly world the text of Durand's Commentary on the Sentences in the first two versions (A and B). Moreover the edition points to the vivid doctrinal context of Durand's Commentary by giving a privileged insight into the theological and philosopical debates thanks to a well-documented investigations into Durand's sources. The filological introduction (p. 13*-115*) gives a glimpse into the editorial work of Durand and contributes to the study of the manuscript tradition of Durand's Commentary in its threefold version, with particular reference to the first two versions (A and B) of the second Book. The introduction shows that Durand worked continuously on the text of the Commentary. There is clearly a continuous text transition from the first redaction to the third one, which takes place throughout revisional stages of the second redaction. Hence the extant manuscripts of the second redaction can be considered snap-shots of the different phases of this movement.
