Language, Method, and Selection of Models: The Relationship between Theological Writing and Search for Unity in Jean Gerson’s Though
The search for unity in the doctrinal sphere, mirror and instrument of the unity of the Church, is a recurring element in the work of Jean Gerson (1363-1429), renowned theologian and Chancellor of the University of Paris between the 14th and the 15th century.

| description |
The search for unity in the doctrinal sphere, mirror and instrument of the unity of the Church, is a recurring element in the work of Jean Gerson (1363-1429), renowned theologian and Chancellor of the University of Paris between the 14th and the 15th century. The insistence on the concept of unity is conveyed by a constant reflection on the role and methods of the theological writing. Gerson identifies precise methods and models to follow in order to explain some obscurities of the Scriptures with clarity and precision, and without risks for the integrity of the doctrine. A fundamental part of the reflection on theological writing is the discussion on the possibility of using vernacular, a possibility that the Parisian chancellor strongly denies, stigmatizing the linguistic confusion which inevitably would lead not only to mutual misunderstanding, but to the breakdown of a correspondence between terms and concepts that has its roots in a consolidated and centuries-old theological tradition in Latin. The present article intends to study Gerson’s reflection on the language, methods and selection of models in the context of the academic theological writing, in the broader framework of the search for unity in the doctrinal sphere, a necessary element for pursuing the unity of Church tout court. |

I28-R145-12692_oai2023-08-08 Micali, Luciano 2023-03-24 The search for unity in the doctrinal sphere, mirror and instrument of the unity of the Church, is a recurring element in the work of Jean Gerson (1363-1429), renowned theologian and Chancellor of the University of Paris between the 14th and the 15th century. The insistence on the concept of unity is conveyed by a constant reflection on the role and methods of the theological writing. Gerson identifies precise methods and models to follow in order to explain some obscurities of the Scriptures with clarity and precision, and without risks for the integrity of the doctrine. A fundamental part of the reflection on theological writing is the discussion on the possibility of using vernacular, a possibility that the Parisian chancellor strongly denies, stigmatizing the linguistic confusion which inevitably would lead not only to mutual misunderstanding, but to the breakdown of a correspondence between terms and concepts that has its roots in a consolidated and centuries-old theological tradition in Latin. The present article intends to study Gerson’s reflection on the language, methods and selection of models in the context of the academic theological writing, in the broader framework of the search for unity in the doctrinal sphere, a necessary element for pursuing the unity of Church tout court. La búsqueda de la unidad en el ámbito doctrinal, espejo e instrumento de la unidad de la Iglesia, es un elemento recurrente en la obra de Jean Gerson (1363 - 1429), renombrado teólogo y canciller de la Universidad de París entre el siglo XIV y el XV. La insistencia sobre el concepto de unidad es transmitida por una constante reflexión sobre el rol y sobre el modo de la escritura teológica. Gerson identifica métodos precisos y modelos a seguir con el fin de explicar algunas oscuridades de la Escritura con claridad y precisión, y sin riesgo para la integridad de la doctrina. Parte fundamental de la reflexión sobre la escritura teológica es la discusión sobre la posibilidad de usar la lengua vulgar, una posibilidad que el canciller parisino niega de forma lapidaria, estigmatizando la confusión lingüística que inevitablemente conduce no solo a la incomprensión recíproca, sino a la ruptura de una correspondencia entre términos y conceptos que hunde sus raíces en una consolidada y plurisecular tradición teológica en latín. El presente artículo se propone estudiar la reflexión de Gerson sobre la lengua, sobre los métodos y sobre la selección de los modelos en el ámbito de la escritura teológica académica, en el marco más amplio de la búsqueda de la unidad en el ámbito doctrinal, elemento necesario para perseguir la unidad de la Iglesia tout court. La ricerca dell’unità in ambito dottrinale, specchio e strumento dell’unità della Chiesa, è un elemento ricorrente nell’opera di Jean Gerson (1363-1429), rinomato teologo e cancelliere dell’Università di Parigi a cavallo tra il XIV ed il XV secolo. L’insistenza sul concetto di unità è veicolata da una costante riflessione sul ruolo e sui modi della scrittura teologica. Gerson individua precisi metodi e modelli da seguire al fine di spiegare alcune oscurità delle Scritture con chiarezza e precisione e senza rischi per l’integrità della dottrina. Parte fondamentale della riflessione sulla scrittura teologica è la discussione sulla possibilità di usare le lingue volgari, una possibilità che il cancelliere parigino nega in maniera lapidaria, stigmatizzando la confusione linguistica che inevitabilmente conduce non solo all’incomprensione reciproca, ma alla rottura di una corrispondenza tra termini e concetti che affonda le proprie radici in una consolidata e plurisecolare tradizione teologica in latino. Il presente articolo si propone di studiare la riflessione di Gerson sulla lingua, sui metodi e sulla selezione dei modelli nell’ambito della scrittura teologica accademica, nel quadro più ampio della ricerca dell’unità in ambito dottrinale, elemento necessario per perseguire l’unità della Chiesa tout court. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/12692 10.34096/petm.v44.n1.12692 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/12692/11591 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 44 No 1 (2023) Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 44 Núm. 1 (2023) 2683-9636 0325-2280 Gerson Latin Medieval Theology Unity Doctrine Medieval Scholasticism Gerson Latín Teología medieval Unidad Doctrina Escolástica medieval Gerson Latino Teologia medievale Unità Dottrina Scolastica medievale Language, Method, and Selection of Models: The Relationship between Theological Writing and Search for Unity in Jean Gerson’s Though Entre la lengua, el método y la selección de modelos: la relación entre la escritura teológica y la búsqueda de la unidad en el pensamiento de Jean Gerson Tra lingua, metodo e selezione dei modelli: il rapporto tra scrittura teologica e ricerca dell’unità nel pensiero di Jean Gerson info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=12692_oai |
