Description
Summary:From the 18th century onwards, the Dominican friar Robert Kilwardby (d. 1279) has been considered the author of the anonymous alphabetical table on Augustine’s De ciuitate Dei copied in manuscripts Paris, BnF, lat. 2073, 2074, 2075, among other codices. This paper intends both to disprove such an assumption, for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever, and to establish the manuscript tradition of the work in question, which happens to be spread in the whole of Europe. Furthermore, two other hypothetical authors are discussed: some of the manuscripts bear the name of Aymeric of Piacenza (d. 1327), master of the Dominican order, as that of the author; and Léopold Delisle once considered, although he was not followed by any scholar in this opinion of his, that the table was to be ascribed to Jean Bernier de Fayt, a very prolific Benedictine compiler (d. 1395).
Depuis le xviiie siècle, on attribue au dominicain Robert Kilwardby († 1279) la table alphabétique anonyme du De ciuitate Dei de saint Augustin présente, notamment, dans les manuscrits Paris, BnF, lat. 2073, 2074 et 2075. Cet article a pour objetif de rejeter cette attribution qui n’a à son compte aucun argument probant et d’établir la tradition manuscrite de l’oeuvre en question, qui connaît une diffusion à l’échelle européenne. En outre, la pertinence de deux autres hypothèses d’attribution est discutée : certains manuscrits portent le nom d’Aimery de Plaisance, maître général des dominicains († 1327) ; et Léopold Delisle a autrefois, de manière très confidentielle, attribué cette table à Jean Bernier de Fayt, compilateur bénédictin prolifique († 1395).
