FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Robert Holcot (d. 1349) was a Dominican friar, most prominently connected with the convent in Oxford where he became a Doctor of Theology. Holcot is perhaps most famous today, following an important discussion by Heiko Obermann in the 1960s, for his semi-Pelagian theological views. In contrast to traditional Augustinianism, he believed that God granted salvation to individuals on the basis of bonum quod in se est, that is, on the basis of an individuals intention to do good, rather than any achievement. While historians of theologyknow Holcot in these terms, his wide medieval reputation was rather different. Holcot was read all over Europe as an exegete, an explicator of biblical texts, especially the Old Testament sapiential books.This volume presents a selection, nearly a quarter of the whole, from Holcots readings in the minor prophets, originally delivered in the 1330s as lectures in Oxfords Dominican studium. In a commentary appended to the text, it uses these selections to offer a view ofexegesis, and of Holcots strategies, that differs from customary scholarship on the topic. The commentary attempts to clarify the relation between Holcots usually tacit discussion (a feature perhaps driven by the fact that the received text represents a reportatio or outline, not a stenographic transcription) and the biblical text at hand. It further addresses some argumentative features, principally Holcots use of narrative and of imagistic distinctiones. The volume is fully annotated, with a facing-page translation, numerous references to analogous discussions elsewhere in Holcot (including his classic Super Sapientiam Salamonis), and full indexes of Holcots biblical references, his parallel treatments, and his sources.
