Abstract
Abstract One of the main reasons for Saint Anthony of Padua’s holy fame and reputation is his activity as a preacher. This article begins with a review of the hagiographical legends referring to preaching as a virtue or gift of divine grace, and the importance of Iulianus of Speyer’s works in spreading the concept of preaching as a virtue is hightlighted. Then follows a discussion of a series of texts written between about 1250 and 1350, which seeks to shed light on the identification of recta et fructuosa praedicatio (right and fruitful preaching activity) with Anthony’s wisdom (sapientia) or knowledge (scientia). It can be seen that this message was expounded over a relatively broad timespan from the 1280s onwards. There is also evidence of an interdisciplinary problem, which seems to involve not only the preachers belonging to the Order of Friars Minor, but also those who were called to preach to them from outside the Order itself. Three possible reasons for the appearance of preaching on the list of virtues are suggested. It may have originated from the attempt to assimilate contemporary preachers with the model of holiness provided by Anthony or from an effort to create a counterbalance to the vices of the tongue that were supposed to plague the preachers’ audiences. It may also be an indicator of a more general debate on praedicatio as a gift of divine grace in opposition to those who believed it was merely the result of a studied technique.
帕多瓦圣安东尼的神圣名声和声誉的主要原因之一是他作为一个传教士的活动。本文首先回顾了传世传说中讲道是一种美德或神圣恩典的礼物,并强调了斯派尔的尤利亚努斯的作品在传播讲道是一种美德的概念方面的重要性。然后是对大约1250年至1350年间写的一系列文本的讨论,这些文本试图阐明安东尼的智慧(sapientia)或知识(scientia)与recta et frutuosa praedicatio(正确而富有成果的讲道活动)的识别。可以看出,从1280年代开始,这个信息是在一个相对较宽的时间跨度内阐述的。也有证据表明存在一个跨学科的问题,这似乎不仅涉及属于小修士会的传教士,而且也涉及那些被召从修会本身以外向他们传教的人。在美德清单中出现讲道的三个可能的原因被提出。它可能源于试图用安东尼提供的圣洁模式来同化当代传教士,或者源于努力创造一种平衡,以平衡被认为困扰传教士听众的舌头恶习。这也可能预示着一种更普遍的争论,即预言是一种神圣恩典的礼物,而不是那些认为预言仅仅是一种研究技术的结果的人。
