Description
Sommario
The paper intends to determine, on the basis of the most recent studies on the manuscript tradition, the number of works attributed with some certainty to the Parisian period of the career of John of Morrovalle. Starting from this first result, the main objective of the paper is to contextualize the doctrinal position of Morrovalle in the debate on the motion of the will which characterizes the University of Paris in the 70s and 80s of the thirteenth century. The position that emerges refers to the distinction, introduced by Anselm of Canterbury, between affectio commodi and affectio iusti. It is a solution rather traditional in the Franciscan environment of the period, and for this reason it is not able to contrast the new radical doctrines of Godfrey of Fontaines and Henry of Ghent.
