Abstract | The Dominican scholar John of Paris is best known today for the tract On Royal and Papal Power, often considered a contribution to the dispute between Pope Boniface VIII and the French king Philippe IV. Recent scholarship has highlighted the potential importance John's Dominican vocation played in the development of his thought and this session takes up this thread in current scholarship by focusing on the relationship between John, his ideas, and his order. It forms part of the 'John of Paris: Beyond Royal and Papal Power' strand. |
