| Summary: | One of the challenges for the modern translator is to make not only the Latin text but its intellectual context accessible to the reader. This is not an easy task where the author is, like Bonaventure, writing within a framework of complex contemporary research and controversy. For medieval academe was every bit as high-spirited as its modern counterpart. Karris and Murray are very much aware of this need, and although he does not seem altogether familiar with the methodologies of the wider scholasticism of Bonaventure's day, Karris does a fair job of explaining the framework of the commentary., In commenting on Ecclesiastes, as in his commentary on John, though not in his commentary on Luke, Bonaventure uses the ‘quaestio’. |
