Buch
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This volume contains Professor Roland Teskes translation of William ofAuvergnes Divine Rhetoric along with the Latin text,introduction, and notes. The Latin text improves on that of the 1674printed edition by the use of two early manuscripts of the work. Williamwas a theologian at the University of Paris and bishop of Paris from1228 until his death in 1249. He is mainly known for his huge Teachingon God in the Mode of Wisdom, in which he made extensive use of theworks of Avicenna and Aristotle as they were becoming known throughtranslations in order to come to some understanding of the Christianfaith and philosophy. Although the majority of his writings focus uponthe mysteries of the faith and philosophical questions about the natureof human beings, their God, and their world, William was also a bishopwith a deep concern for his clergy and people. In his Divine Rhetoriche aimed to explain and illustrate for his priests and people the art ofprayer or, as he put it in the subtitle, The Oratorical Art of DivineEloquence. The work lists and explains seven characteristics orperfections of prayer, but it is perhaps best known for its applicationof Ciceronian rules of oratory to Christian oratory or prayer.
