The editon of Henry of Ghent's
Quodlibet VII
makes available the critical text of an influential work. Written near the end of 1282, this
Quodlibet
is perhaps best known because it contains Henry's initial discussion of the papal bull
Ad fructus uberes
, which had granted certain exaggerated privileges to the mendicants. Henry's text puts forward arguments which limit wide interpretations of the bull and sets forth a position which favors the secular clergy. These arguments set the stage for discussions of the privileges granted by the papal bull. Indeed, Richard of Mediavilla in his
Quaestio Privilegii Papae Martini
makes a case for the mendicants by addressing the arguments of
point by point. Henry himself reiterates and elaborates his arguments in subsequent
Quodlibeta
and in the
Tractatus super facto praelatorum et fratrum
. His analyses of
leads to discussions of poverty in the religious life, which Henry argues is not a perfection but a means to perfection.
also treats more philosophical matters, e.g. transcendentals, God's essence and knowledge, knowledge of the divine essence, genus, difference, matter, relation, quantity, human knowledge, and the human body. In addition, the text contains a response to some claims in Berthaud of Saint Denis'
Quodlibet I
, q17. This fellow secular master has not been studied or edited, but he emerges here and in the
Tractatus
as a secular master with whom Henry disagreed.
