''Contra errores Graecorum, ad Urbanum IV Pontificem Maximum'' (''Against the Errors of the Greeks, to Pope Urban IV'') is a short treatise (an "opusculum") written in 1263 by Roman Catholic theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas as a contribution to Pope Urban's efforts at reunion with the Eastern Church.〔(Aidan Nichols, Discovering Aquinas: An Introduction to His Life, Work, and Influence ) (Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2003 ISBN 0-8028-0514-0, ISBN 978-0-8028-0514-0), p. 167〕 Aquinas wrote the treatise in 1263 while he was papal theologian and conventual lector in the Dominican ''studium'' at Orvieto after his first regency as professor of theology at the University of Paris which ended in 1259 and before he took up his duties in 1265 reforming the Dominican ''studium'' at Santa Sabina, the forerunner of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum'', in Rome. ==Text== The title of the treatise was not given by Aquinas himself, and it contains nothing that is directed against the doctrine of the Eastern Orthodox Church, but only, in the view of theologian Yves Congar, a defence of Catholic doctrine against Eastern misunderstandings.〔(Gabriel Flynn, Yves Congar: theologian of the church ) (Peeters Publishers, 2005 ISBN 90-429-1668-0, ISBN 978-90-429-1668-5), p. 88〕 The 72 chapters of the work are each of the length of a paragraph in a modern book. In it Aquinas presents the teaching of the Greek Church Fathers as in harmony with that of the Latin Church.〔(Brian Davies, Aquinas: an introduction ) (Continuum International Publishing Group, 2004 ISBN 0-8264-7095-5, ISBN 978-0-8264-7095-9), p. 5〕 The book is arranged in two parts, the first of 32 chapters and the second of 40, each part preceded by a prologue, and the work as a whole concluded with an epilogue. All the first part and 31 of the 40 chapters of the second concern pneumatology (doctrine on the Holy Spirit). Of the final 9 chapters, 7 deal with the position of the Roman Pontiff, and the last two with the use of leavened bread in the Eucharist and with purgatory. In all of these Aquinas quoted expressions by Fathers of the Greek Church in support of the teaching propounded by the Latin Church. Aquinas died on his way to participate in the 1274 Second Council of Lyons, to which he had been invited, but this treatise, which he had written eleven years before and not for the use of this Council,〔(Deno John Geanakoplos, Constantinople and the West: essays on the late Byzantine (Palaeologan) and Italian Renaissances and the Byzantine and Roman churches )(Univ of Wisconsin Press, 1989 ISBN 0-299-11884-3, ISBN 978-0-299-11884-6), p. 196]〕 was influential at the Council. The 1968 Leonine edition is available in Latin at the (Corpus Thomisticum website. ) A complete English translation is given at the website of (the Dominican Province of St Joseph. ) A different English translation, but only of the first ten chapters, is found at the website of (Ecclesia Triumphans Catholic Apologetics ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Contra Errores Graecorum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
