In 1241/4 the theology masters at the university at Paris with
their chancellor, Odo of Chateauroux, mandated by their bishop,
William of Auvergne, met to condemn ten propositions against
theological truth. This book represents the first comprehensive
examination of what hitherto has been a largely ignored instrument
in a crucial period of the university's early maturation. However,
the book's ambition goes wider than this. The condemnation provides
a window through which to view the wider doctrinal, intellectual,
institutional and historical developments within the emerging
university. These include the advent of the Dominicans and
Franciscans at the university; and the developing focus of Paris
theologians on using their learning for preaching at a time of a
rapid and sometimes divergent development of doctrine and concerns
over the newly-translated Aristotelian and associated Arab and
Jewish works, heresy, the Greek Church and the Jews. The book
compares the condemnation's ten articles with the major statement
of Catholic principles in the first canon of the Fourth Lateran
Council, 1215, and assesses what conclusions can be drawn from
their apparent correlation. Its examination of the condemnation in
the context of the surrounding wider developments provides the
basis for a much better understanding of the university and its
theology faculty in the formative years between the grant of its
statutes in 1215 and the better known period from the 1250s
onwards, which included major figures such as Thomas Aquinas; and
this, in turn, should lead to a better understanding of the later
period itself and its doctrinal and institutional developments.
