The eucharistic crisis of the eleventh century posed the greatest
challenge to the Church's understanding of the Real Presence of
Christ in the Blessed Sacrament until the Reformation. The
eucharistic symbolism of ""Berengarius of Tours"", which was at the
heart of the controversy, was challenged first by Lanfranc of
Canterbury and then by his student Guitmund of Aversa. Both authors
countered with a vigorous defense of the Church's traditional
belief that the body of Christ in the Eucharist is the same body
that was born of the Virgin Mary, now risen and in glory. In this
first English translation of Lanfranc's ""De corpore et sanguine
Domini adversus Berengarium"", the reader learns firsthand both the
history of the crisis and the doctrinal issues in question. Lesser
known than Lanfranc's work, but of greater doctrinal significance,
is Guitmund's ""De corporis et sanguinis Christi veritate in
eucharistia"". In Guitmund's work, one finds a treatment of the
doctrinal issues involved that is not only more systematic than
that of Lanfranc, but far more speculative in character, and one
that presents a fascinating vision of the Eucharist as a
continuation of Christ's Easter appearances. Such a vision is one
that the translator calls the species domini or an 'appearance of
the Lord'; for it interprets the doctrine of the Real Presence in a
way that identifies it as physical contact with the celestial
Christ, of the same genre as the post-Resurrection appearances to
his followers. The translations of both Lanfranc's and Guitmund's
works, along with extensive commentary and notes, make this volume
of the ""Mediaeval Continuation of the Fathers of the Church""
series an important study in the history of the development of
eucharistic theology.
