BIO
Ernesto Dezza: Associate Professor of Medieval Philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome. He is the author of numerous articles and essays on Franciscan masters, particularly John Duns Scotus. He has published volumes on Duns Scotus’s doctrine on creation and his modal theory, as well as, together with Nannini and Riserbato, the Italian translation of Ord. I, 35-36, Lect. I, 36-36, and Lect. I, 39.
Antonio Petagine: Assistant Professor of History of Philosophy at the Department of Education at Roma Tre University, in Rome. He is the author of books and articles dealing with the philosophical thought of Thirteenth and Fourteenth-Century masters, such as Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus. His monographs include: Matière, corps, esprit. La notion de sujet dans la philosophie de Thomas d’Aquin (Paris-Fribourg 2014); Il fondamento positivo del mondo. Indagini francescane sulla materia all’inizio del XIV secolo (Roma 2019).
Summary
The Franciscan William of Ware – the Magister Scoti – flourished as a theologian at the end of the thirteenth century. Although he wielded significant influence on fourteenth-century theological and philosophical debates, his thought remains little known and even less studied than it deserves. A major cause for this situation lies in the difficulty of accessing the text of his Questions on the Four Books of the Sentences, which is largely unedited.
This volume is the first entirely devoted to William of Ware. It aims to promote a renewed knowledge of his texts and doctrines. The book includes updated information on studies and editions of Ware's texts, and specific studies on crucial aspects of his doctrines, such as theology, metaphysics, physics, epistemology, Christology, and anthropology. Additionally, the volume presents previously unpublished questions from his Commentary on the Sentences.
Overall, the volume serves as an essential reference for the thought and texts of William of Ware and provides a new and illuminating perspective on scholastic culture during the turn from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century.
