SOURCENCYME

Auctoritas: a fundamental notion in the medieval culture

Auctoritas: reference to canonized written expression

Hierarchia auctoritatum: Bible and exegetical discourse, patristical writings Inferior status: apocryphal texts, anonymous writers Change of the layout of the manuscripts: the names ofauctoritatesfrom margin intothe text:

Quoniam, ut superius dictum est, ex diversis auctoribus hoc opus contextum est, ut

sciatur quid cuius est, singulorum dictis eorum nomina annotavi, ac ne facile quidemtransponerentur de locis propriis, nequaquam in margine sicut fit in psalterio glosato etepistolis Pauli vel in sentenciis, sed inter lineas ipsas sicut in decretis, ea inserui.Interdum eciam ea que ipse vel a maioribus meis scilicet modernis doctoribus didici, vel inquorumdam scriptis notabilia repperi, nomine meo id est actoris intitulavi (Vincent ofBeauvais, Speculum historiale, Libellus apologeticus).

SOURCENCYME constituted a corpus of medieval encyclopaedias with the aim:

to identify the different sources (latin, greek, arabic) of the philosophical,theological and historical thought from 12th to 15th c.

to study the accumulation and development of texts, vocabulary and ideas. to provide a historically and philologically reliable text of the encyclopaedic workswith scholarly annotations to allow all types of interrogation on the ancient and medieval sources collected bythe latin encyclopaedias

to make available the results of the literature devoted to the study ofencyclopaedias

Put online the heritage of medieval encyclopaedical texts

Bisson (IGE MRSH), Pierre-Yves Buard (IGE PUC/MRSH), Dominique Roux

(IGR PUC) and Catherine Jacquemard (PR Latin)

CRAHAM participated to the philological identifications concerning the

books on fishes via the input interface of Sourcencyme Transfer of data between the electronic edition of the De piscibusand

Searching the corpusPost-incunabula additions (warning against ed. Douai 1624)Speculum naturaleI.3, Quod mundus archetypus ipse sit Dei filius:Basilius in Hexaemeron libro IoErat autem antiquissima ordinatio creature ad essentias

eas accommodatus, que extra mundum sunt, [apta virtutibus,] orta sine tempore, sempiterna

sibique propria, in qua deus omnium conditor instituit opera certa, hoc est lumen intelligibile et

eternum, beatitudini conveniens omnium amantium deum

The annotation indicates that a part of the sentence is missing from the tradition

of the text (ie. the critical edition of Basils treatise, the manuscripts and incunabulaed. of SN) which means that the publishers of Douai made some additions. Same quotation in SNI.21, De arte divina qua Deus fabricavit omnia, butwithout the addition of the phrase ad essentias eas accomodatus.Basilius in Hexaemeron libro IoErat enim antiquissima ordinatio creature, illis que

extra mundum sunt, apta virtutibus, orta sine tempore, sempiterna sibique propria, in qua deusomnium conditor instituit opera certa, hec est lumen intelligibile et eternum, beatitudini conveniens

omnium amantium deum.

Vincent of Beauvais :

Gloses with commentary function

o Aristote, PhysicsIV.2, p. 141, l. 7-9 (209b22-24), p. 142, l. 4-10 (210a2-9):

At vero quod impossibile sit quodlibet horum esse locum, non difficile est videre. Species

quidem enim et materia non separantur a re, locum autem contingit. [] Amplius quomodo

ferrentur in sui locum, [et] si locus esset materia aut species? Inpossibile enim est cuius non

motus neque sursum aut deorsum, locum esse; quare querendus in huiusmodi locus est. Si

autem in se ipso locus (oportet enim, si vere aut forma aut materia est), erit locus in loco;

transmutantur enim simul cum re et moventur et species ( ) et infinitum ().

o Vincent of Beauvais, Spec. Nat., III.47:

At vero quod impossibile sit horum quodlibet esse locum, facile est videre. Species enim etmateria non separantur a re, locum autem separari contingit. Amplius quomodo

ferentur in locum suum, si locus esset materia vel species. Impossibile enim est id cuius id

est ad quod non est motus neque sursum neque deorsum, locum esse. Preterea si vere forma

aut materia locus est, erit locus in loco.Transmutantur enim simul cum re et moventur

et species, scilicet forma, et infinitum, scilicet materia.
