Henry of Ghent, the most influential philosopher/theologian of
the last quarter of the thirteenth century at Paris, delivered his
fourth Quodlibet during 1279. This Quodlibet was written at the
beginning of the height of his career. In total there are
thirty-seven questions, which cover a wide range of topics,
including theories in theology, metaphysics, epistemology,
philosophical anthropology, ethics, and canon law.
In these questions, Henry presents his mature thought concerning
the number of human substantial forms in which he counters the
claims of the defenders of Thomas Aquinas, particularly those in
Giles of Lessines's De unitate formae, but also those found in
Giles of Rome's Contra Gradus. He is critical of Thomas Aquinas's
theories concerning human knowledge, the "more" and the "less," and
virtue. He also is critical of Bonaventure's analysis of
Augustine's notion of rationes seminales.
There are thirty-three known manuscripts that contain the text
of Quodlibet IV, and the critical text is reconstructed based on
manuscripts known to have been in Henry's school, as well as
manuscripts copied from two successive university exemplars in
Paris.
The main text is in Latin; the critical apparatus is in
English.
