Durandus of Saint-Pourçain, also known as ''Durand of Saint-Pourçain'' (c. 1275 – 13 September 1332 / 10 September 1334), was a French Dominican, philosopher and theologian. ==Life== He was born at Saint-Pourçain, Auvergne, and died in Meaux in 1332. Little is known of ''Durandus of Saint-Pourçain'' prior to 1307 but some small facts. His preliminary work was prepared in some Dominican ''studium''. He entered the Dominican Order at Clermont, and studied at the University of Paris to which he obtained his doctoral degree in 1313. Clement V called him to as Master of the Sacred Palace. He lectured on the "Sentences" of Peter Lombard. He was at this time submitting ideas that were not exactly parallel to those of Thomas Aquinas. This was the production of the first extensive commentary on the "Sentences", published in 1303-8 (unedited). After review of the first commentary, it seemed very improbable that Durandus could have been a follower of Aquinas prior to 1307. Since Thomas Aquinas was held at a higher standing than any other doctor within the Dominican order, they were to defend and uphold his ideas predominately. This caused Durand to be criticized from one of the leading Dominican followers of Aquinas, Hervaeus Natalis. This was a doctoral quarrel and an illustration of the fourteenth -century doctoral tensions. It was at this time that Durandus of Saint-Pourçain set out to write his second commentary on the "Sentences", which he adhered more closely to Aquinas's way. This second version of the commentary was written around 1310-1312 (unedited). This, unfortunately, did much help respond to the criticisms that he had received previously and instead brought on more criticism and grief. Additionally, his scholars efforts and the receipt of is doctrine in theology, from the University of Paris in 1312, did not make much of a difference either, unfortunately, leading to the Dominican order initiating two formal investigations. The first investigation was in 1212-1214 and the other in 1316/17. Despite these conflicts, Durandus was appointed to lecture at papal curia in Avignon. He was consecrated Bishop in three places; first of Limoux, then of Le Puy-en-Velay in 1318, and was transferred to the diocese of Meaux in 1326, where he would later die. He was highly regarded by Pope John XXII and assigned by him to examine the orthodoxy of William Ockham in 1324-25. The pope also consulted him on difficult cases with many entrusted diplomatic missions attributed to him. Meanwhile, Durand wrote his last of the three commentaries, the one for which he is most famous. In this final commentary, Durand returned to several of his initial stances. He was not just famous for this controversial commentary and the earlier one, but also for his surveying of Aquinas in the Dominican order and being influential throughout the early modern period. He became known as ''Doctor Resolutissimus'' owing to his strenuous advocacy of certain opinions novel to contemporary academics. Although Durandus faced many controversial issues both inside and outside his order, centuries later he was commended for his work alongside Bonaventure. 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「Durandus of Saint-Pourçain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
