The original seven, each more comprehensive and Collationes as Visio, (transl. Contributions as Vision) titled parts of the plant after the fourth Visio, would then transport the author's account of the higher (Bonaventure's elevation to cardinal on May 28, 1273) and because of his death (July 15, 1274) no longer come to the lecture.
Antonio of Vicenza (1 March 1834 – 22 June 1884) born in Vicenza, died in Rovigno, was a Reformed Minorite.. After his ordination in 1856, he devoted himself to the study of scholastic authors, especially of St. Bonaventure whose Breviloquium he published in a new edition (Venice, 1874; Freiburg, 1881).
Bonaventure follows Alexander of Hales, his fellow-religious and predecessor, but surpasses him in mysticism and clearness of diction. Unlike the other Scholastics of this period, he did not write a theological Summa , but a Commentary on the Sentences , as well as his Breviloquium , a condensed Summa .
William of Ockham was born in Ockham, Surrey, around 1287. [6] He received his elementary education in the London House of the Greyfriars. [15] It is believed that he then studied theology at the University of Oxford [9] [10] from 1309 to 1321, [16] but while he completed all the requirements for a master's degree in theology, he was never made a regent master. [17]
The work's precise date of composition, and its author, has occasioned much debate. [1] Until the late nineteenth century, it was traditionally ascribed to Bonaventure.Once it was realised that the work was not by him, the ascription was changed to pseudo-Bonaventure, and was judged to be of unknown Franciscan authorship.
Pseudo-Bonaventure (Latin: Pseudo-Bonaventura) is the name given to the authors of a number of medieval devotional works which were believed at the time to be the work of Bonaventure: "It would almost seem as if 'Bonaventura' came to be regarded as a convenient label for a certain type of text, rather than an assertion of authorship". [1]
That is to say that he intended to construct a spiritual synthesis and not a rationally scientific work. In works such as Breviloquium or De triplici via, Bonaventure describes theology as wisdom (sapientia) rather than science (scientia) and considers its main task to be the achievement of spiritual perfection.
