Extract

In the great and widespread revival of medieval studies by which the nineteenth century was distinguished, no province was so long neglected as that of academic institutions and scholastic thought. The pioneers of the historical revival were, almost without exception, men deeply influenced by the romantic movement, and many of them were antiquaries rather than historians; their successors, especially in England and Germany, were principally concerned to trace in the Middle Ages the origins of national institutions and racial characteristics; to neither party did the speculations of what seemed an outworn religious organization make any appeal. Even those scholars who, in France and elsewhere, were themselves Catholics and ecclesiastics, were also men who had been brought up in an age of transition and adaptation, when traditional religion was on the defensive, and were often more sympathetic towards the various systems of philosophy—idealist or ontological—that flowered and fell in Germany and north Italy in the period after the French Revolution. Meanwhile, in the century before that great cataclysm, the scholastic thought of the thirteenth century, rejuvenated by the Italian and Spanish theologians of the counter-Reformation, had been all but submerged by successive waves of Jansenism, rationalism and the new philosophy of Kant, and had only survived in a few schools as a dry and formal discipline. To all alike, therefore, whether Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans or free-thinkers, the vast mass of manuscript material which survived from the scholastic period to cumber the libraries appeared destitute of literary or human interest, and daunted the boldest with its bulk and its technical terminology.

127 The bibliography of even such a small section of Dante study is enormous; v. Ueberweg-Geyer, pp. 775-8. While B. Nardi attributes the ‘Augustinian’ element in Dante to Neo-platonist and Arab influence, M. Baumgartner, more convincingly, traces it to Albert the Great. Both agree in substance with the judgement of Geyer (op. cit. p. 550): ‘Allein als reiner Thomist kann Dante heute nicht mehr angesehen werden.’ Mandonnet, P., in Dante le thtologien (Paris-Bruges, 1935)Google Scholar did his best for the traditional view; for a considered survey, v.
