"Like most chancellors of Florence in the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, Coluccio Salutati was born in the contado (as Florentine territory was then called) into a family of rather humble condition. This volume contains Salutati's De Tyranno, many of his state letters, Antonio Loschi's invective against the Florentines and Salutati's long reply to that invective, and Salutati's letter to Pietro Turchi"--Provided by publisher

In the mid- to late-1930s, while he was a student at the Gregorian University in Rome, Bernard Lonergan wrote a series of eight essays on the philosophy and theology of history. These essays foreshadow a number of the major themes in his life's work. The significance of these essays is enormous, not only for an understanding of the later trajectory of Lonergan's own work but also for the development of a contemporary systematic theology. In an important entry from 1965 in his archival papers, Lonergan wrote that the "mediated object" of systematics is Geschichte or the history that is lived and written about. In the same entry, he stated that the "doctrines" that this systematic theology would attempt to understand are focused on "redemption." The seeds of such a theology are planted in the current volume, where the formulae that are so pronounced in his later work first appear. Students of Lonergan's work will find their understanding of his philosophy profoundly affected by the essays in this volume

Le nom du chanoine Charles-Aloyse Fontaine (1754-1834), devenu aujourd'hui presque immémoré, reste indissociablement attaché à l'histoire politique, religieuse et culturelle du canton de Fribourg. Ecclésiastique libéral, partisan et acteur de la révolution helvétique, dévoué administrateur de l'école du Père Girard, pionnier de l'historiographie fribourgeoise et premier contributeur des musées cantonaux, il dynamisa la vie de sa cité durant plus d'un demi-siècle. Sa correspondance, qui s'étend de 1782 à 1834, rend compte de son action réformatrice et de la plupart de ses travaux scientifiques. Classées dans six chapitres thématiques, les 160 lettres éditées dans ce volume relient le Fribourgeois à une quarantaine d'interlocuteurs originaires de Suisse, d'Allemagne, de France et d'Italie. La correspondance met en exergue à la fois les occupations éclectiques d'un savant universel et la vie domestique d'un riche bourgeois en quête de prestige social. Par les sujets abordés, elle offre un matériau exceptionnel pour réinterroger les interrelations entre Église, sciences et révolutions à la fin du siècle des Lumières.
