Description
Summary:From its origins, the Parisian Faculty of Theology lived in tension with its mendicant members. Jules-Alexandre Clerval's edition of the Faculty's conclusions from 1505 to 1523 witnesses a continuation of the centuries-old conflict between the masters who were secular clerics and the mendicants, who were Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites, and Augustinian friars. During this period, the mendicant masters tended to use papal exemptions to their benefit while both ignoring and preaching against papal restrictions. If the Faculty failed to respond satisfactorily to their grievances, the mendicants appealed their case to the Parlement of Paris. The Faculty's relations with the mendicant orders can be characterized by (1) a reluctance to grant the mendicants academic dispensations, (2) an aversion to intervene in any quarrel between mendicant parties, and (3) an assurance that the Parlement would rule in favor of the Sacra Facultas in all cases that concerned mendicant scholars.
