AGRICOLA, RUDOLPH - FOKKE AKKERMAN

Rudolph Agricola: six lives and Erasmus’s testimonies. Edited, translated and annotated by Fokke Akkerman. English translations by Rudy Bremer and Corrie Ooms Beck (Bibliotheca Latinitatis Novae). ISBN 9789023250722

Assen, Royal van Gorcum, 2012. 264 pp. As new. Orig. cloth. Bilingual edition: Original Latin text with English translation. `The Frisian humanist Rudolph Agricola (1443-1485) is rightly famous for single-handedly bringing the Italian Renaissance to the North ... Six biographies on Agricola have been preserved. The authors of these lives drew their materials from different sources and wrote their texts independently from each other. Differing vastly in rhetorical aims and methods, they provide us with a vivid image of cultural and intellectual life in the 15th century. Erasmus praised Agricola's work throughout his writings. No less than fifty testimonies from Erasmus and his correspondents are presented here. This edition of sources supplements the volume of Agricola's letters (BLN, 2002) and is preceded by an expert survey of all biographical information now at our disposal. Thus it fills a gap in our knowledge of a great man of letters, while correcting a number of persistent misconceptions (concerning the year of Agricola's birth, for instance).´ ISBN: 9789023250722

BAC, J. MARTIN

Perfect Will Theology: Divine Agency in Reformed Scholasticism As Against Suarez, Episcopius, Descartes, and Spinoza. Dissertation

Utrecht, no publisher, 2010. 329 pp. Large 8vo. Fine copy. With summary in Dutch. Softcover. Dissertation. Text is the same as the Brill-edition. This book revisits four early-modern debates of Reformed theology concerning the will of God. Reformed scholasticism advocated a particular relationship between divine knowledge, will, and power, which was altered by Jesuits, Remonstrants, Descartes, and Spinoza. In all these debates modal categories like contingency and necessity play a prominent part. Therefore, these positions are evaluated with the help of modern modal logic including possible world semantics. The final part of this study presents a systematic defense of the Reformed position, which has been charged of theological determinism and of making God the author of sin. In modern terms, therefore, the relation of divine and human freedom and the problem of evil are discussed.
