This chapter analyses the monetary theory of Gabriel Biel, professor of theology at the university of Tübingen at the end of the fifteenth century. Biel’s monetary deliberations form an integral part of his largest work by far, the Collectorium circa quattuor libros Sententiarum, a highly comprehensive compendium of scholastic theology and philosophy from a nominalist, Ockhamistic point of view. Accordingly, they are theological in nature, based on the concept of falseness and set in the specific context of sinful infliction of damage and compensation in view of penitence. The falsification of coins and other potentially falsifying actions involving money and coins are discussed. Biel’s core issue, however, is the alteration of coins and the sovereign’s right to alter coins so as to realize a profit. The chapter provides a detailed outline of the contents and investigates the sources Biel relies on and the concepts he is committed to.Less

This chapter examines and focuses on conciliarism and its contribution to the theory of monarchy, with reference to arguments deployed and developed from the mid-15th century onwards. Aside from examining the contributions of conciliarism, the chapter also examines beyond the conciliarist tradition in two ways. First, attention is given to some medieval thinkers, notably Gabriel Biel who examined the conciliarist theory closely. Secondly, some relatively neglected aspects of papalist response to the conciliarist challenge in the early 16th century is given with particular reference to the work of Tommaso de Vio.Less

This chapter offers a comprehensive account of the relevant Patristic and Medieval background to debates surrounding the communicatio idiomatum. It focuses on the nature and grounding of the hypostatic union, and provides a taxonomy of different Christological semantics, in order to identify the precise views adopted by the protagonists in the debates. It suggests that a fundamental fault line in Reformation debates lies between those theologians who accept that the divine person is the ontological bearer of his human accidents, and those who do not. It also provides an extensive introduction to the varieties of theorizing found in relation to the communicatio idiomatum itself.Less
