Continental Franciscan Quodlibeta After Scotus

Introduction

“…Th e nature and circumstances of the Quodlibet have been extensively studied by Anneliese Maier,Marc Dykmans,26 and Christian Trottmann (Trottmann 1995a, b, and c;2001), with Maier producing a partial transcription of the sole manuscript witness and Trottmann following up with a full edition and French translation (Guiral Ot 2001). Building on his study of Franciscan quodlibeta (Duba 2007), William Duba revisits this controversy in his paper, comparing Odonis' position in the Quodlibet to his doctrine of the beatifi c vision in his commentary on book IV of the Sentences, distinction 49. If anything, Odonis' view in his Sentences commentary was conservative, evoking the Franciscan tradition of St. Bonaventure.…”
