RT Article T1 Melchioris Cani Vindicationes, Quibus nonnullorum in ejus libros de locis Theologicis accusationes refelluntur: eine Studie zu den Vindikationen des Francois-Jacques-Hyacinthe Serry, Padua 1714 JF Zeitschrift für katholische Theologie VO 139 IS 3 SP 328 OP 345 A1 Hogenmüller, Boris 1979- LA German PB Echter YR 2017 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1671241541 AB Melchior Cano's work De locis theologicis was published posthumously in 1563 and immediately garnered immense interest among scholars, provoking a lot of controversy. Jesuit theologians in particular rejected many of Cano's theses. In 1714, François-Jacques-Hyazinth Serry published his Melchioris Cani Vindicationes in order to refute some of the allegations against Cano. This article covers the methodology employed by Serry and highlights the fact that Serry's defense of Cano is the first comprehensive collection of theological arguments against Cano. Serry's Vindicationes are, therefore, a milestone in the modern history of theology as a compendium of the reception history of Cano.
