Przeglad Tomistyczny In Honour of Zenon Kaluza
Full text linkJ’ai rencontré Zénon pour la première fois quand il est venu, au mois d’août en 2003, me chercher à la Bibliothèque Nationale pour parler d’un article pour les Archives. C’était le rendez-vous le plus commode et c’est devenu le début d’une amitié de plus en plus proche. La plupart du temps par téléphone ou par lettre, rarement par des rencontres directes, quelques heures seulement, à Paris ou à Dijon. On parlait de son travail — extraordinaire : il trouve toujours des textes que personne avant lui a vu ou compris — et aussi du mien : il voulait toujours savoir ce que je faisais ; et même dans ce domaine qui n’était pas spécialement le sien, il a trouvé (et publié) un document inconnu — sur la vie de Guillaume de Moerbeke ! Mais on ne parlait pas seulement du travail, toujours aussi des choses les plus simples de la vie.
Quand j’ai dit à Zénon, il y a quelque temps, que j’étais vraiment gênée de n’avoir pas pu écrire un article pour sa Festschrift — elle ne n’était plus un secret pour lui —, il m’a répondu : « Je sais, tu ne peux écrire que des livres » ! On peut lire beaucoup de choses dans cette réponse, pleine d’humour, on reconnaît son esprit rapide, sa générosité bienveillante et une admirable humilité — du savant et de l’homme. C’est pour son amitié, qui m’a entourée depuis quinze ans, que je veux lui dire Merci
The Renewal of Medieval Metaphysics. Berthold of Moosburg's Expositio on Proclus' Elements of Theology
Full text linkThis is the first volume exclusively devoted to the Expositio by Berthold of Moosburg (c.1295-c.1361) on Proclus' Elements of Theology. The breadth of its vision surpasses every other known commentary on the Elements of Theology, for it seeks to present a coherent account of the Platonic tradition as such (unified through the concord of Proclus and Dionysius) and at the same time to consolidate and transform a legacy of metaphysics developed in the German-speaking lands by Peripatetic authors (like Albert the Great, Ulrich of Strassburg, and Dietrich of Freiberg). This volume aims to provide a basis for further research and discussion of this unduly overlooked commentary, whose historical-philosophical importance as an attempt to refound Western metaphysics is beginning to be recognized. The publication of this volume has received the generous support of the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme through the ERC Consolidator Grant NeoplAT: A Comparative Analysis of the Middle East, Byzantium and the Latin West (9th-16th Centuries), grant agreement No 771640 (www.neoplat.eu).

Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes Volume 1 Western Scholarly Networks and Debates
Full text linkThe majority of contributions reunited in this volume were first presented during the first of the three sessions of the conference “Les Éléments de théologie et le Livre des causes du Ve au XVIIe siècle”. It took place at the École pratique des hautes études, Paris, on 13–14 November 2015, during the terrorist attacks. The second took place on 12–13 February 2016, and the third on 14–15–16 April 2016; all within the framework of the project LIBER (ANR13-PDOC-0018-01) which I directed between 2013 and 2017 at the École pratique des hautes études, Paris, and which generously financed these meetings and the publication of the proceedings. The conferences were organised by Marc Geoffroy and myself, under the auspices of Olivier Boulnois, Philippe Hoffmann, RuediImbach, Zénon Kaluza and Dominique Poirel.I wish to acknowledge the important support of the following bodies in the organisation of the conference: École pratique des hautes études, Équipe “philosophie arabe” of the Centre “Jean Pépin”—CNRS (UMR 8230), Laboratoire d’études sur les monothéismes—CNRS (UMR 8584), Labex haStec (Laboratoire européen d’histoire et anthropologie des savoirs, des techniques et des croyances), Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes—CNRS, Centre “Pierre Abélard”— Université Paris Sorbonne
Reading Proclus and the Book of Causes, Volume 2: Translations and Acculturations
Full text linkReading Proclus and the Book of Causes, published in three volumes, is a fresh, comprehensive understanding of the history of Neoplatonism from the 9th to the 16th century. The impact of the Elements of Theology and the Book of Causes is reconsidered on the basis of newly discovered manuscripts and evidences. This second volume revises widely accepted hypotheses about the reception of the Proclus’ text in Byzantium and the Caucasus, and about the context that made possible the composition of the Book of Causes and its translations into Latin and Hebrew. The contributions offer a unique, comparative perspective on the various ways a pagan author was acculturated to the Abrahamic traditions.European Commission Horizon 202
