Zur kritischen Ausgabe der Werke des Albertus Magnus

Studia graeco-arabica, 2024

Abstract: In his Liber De Natura et origine animae tr. 2, c. 6, Albert the Great introduces six arguments in syllogistic form in favour of the immortality of the rational soul. In cc. 3-6 of the same work, he presents a typology of forms encompassing both material forms and forms transcending matter. Among the material forms, he enumerates the forms of the elements, the primary qualities of the mixture and the forms of the mixtures as such (metals and rocks). Among the forms that transcend matter, he mentions instead the forms of animate bodies, namely the vegetative, the sensitive and the rational soul. The author of an anonymous question An anima racionalis sit mortalis preserved in Codex CP 439 (13th century) focuses on the problem of the immortality of the rational soul starting from Albert’s classification of the forms of living bodies. His treatise shows clear similarities with the above-mentioned sections of Albert’s Liber De Natura et origine animae and with other works of the Doctor universalis in terms of terminology, content, and sources. The existence of some relationship between the anonymous treatise and Albert is also confirmed by an external element: in Codex CP 439, this anonymous work is preceded and followed by a work by Albert, De Fato and Super Ethica, respectively. The present contribution contains a critical edition of this anonymous question, hitherto unknown to scholars. The edition is preceded by an introduction in which the relationship between the anonymous work and Albert is discussed on the basis of a detailed analysis of the text.

In several recent studies, with respect to its sources and development, Albert the Great’s theory of intellect has been treated mainly on the basis of works already available in critical editions. However, Albert’s most important work on the theory of intellect, De intellectu et intelligibili, is not yet available in a critical edition. It is therefore not surprising that there is as yet no adequate account of his theory’s development, sources, and structure. A re-reading of the theory in light of Albert’s complete works affords some interesting insights into those subjects, as well as into other questions regarding its content and form. The following contribution seeks, on the one hand, to illumine the systemic coordinates and doctrinal elaboration of Albert’s theory of intellect in its mature form and, on the other hand, to discuss Albert’s answer to the question of whether the nature of intellect is either superindividual and common to all human beings or particular and individuated. In so doing it seeks to clarify, relative to his earlier and later writings, both what remains constant and what undergoes modification among Albert’s doctrinal perspectives in this work.

In this short review Mauss questions Mathiez´ assumption that the revolutionary cults can be classified as religions. In this regard Mathiez refers to Durkheims definition of religion, who himself in turn used Mathiez´ work in the "Elementary forms". Nonetheless the objection of Marcel Mauss evidently clarifies the preconditions to define a social phenomena as religion in the sense of the Durkheimians.

In der Folge abgekürzt als KFSA. 3 Erschienen sind seit Behlers Tod unter der Hauptherausgeberschaft von Andreas Arndt Bd. 15.1 (Vorlesungen und Fragmente zur Literatur-Orientalia. Hg. von Ursula Struc-Oppenberg. München/Paderborn/Wien 2002) und Bd. 15.2 (Kölner Vorlesung "Über deutsche Sprache und Literatur" (1807). Hg. von Hans Dierkes. München/Paderborn/Wien 2006). Da beide Teilbände die für den frühen Schlegel immens wichtigen Notizenkonvolute Studien des Altertums und Zur Geschichte der griechischen Poesie überhaupt nicht enthalten, kann der Teil der Ausgabe, der die Werke Friedrich Schlegels enthält (Abteilung I und II), nicht als abgeschlossen gelten. Ernst Behler dürfte die beiden von ihm für Bd. 15 vorgesehenen Konvolute im Auge gehabt haben, als er schrieb: "den letzten Band der Werke hoffe ich noch diesen Sommer von Seattle nach Paderborn zu senden"; Behler: "Die Geschichte der Friedrich Schlegel-Ausgabe" (s. Anm. 1), S. 228.
