There is a great deal of counterpoint in it that exists only for the benefit of those who "read" scores, and that clutters the work. There are whole passages that exist only in obedience to some scholastic demand for thematic inversions and deformations.

With the Scholastic theology of his time, albeit even now in a path marked out by himself, his keen understanding and happy memory had enabled him to become thoroughly familiar. He was scarcely twenty-five years old when Staupitz, occupied with making provision for the newly-founded university of Wittenberg, recognised in him the right man for a professorial chair.

The improved tone is to become the student's inevitable, everyday voice. The term enunciation means the formation of words, including right vocal shape to the vowels and right form to the consonants. Pronunciation is scholastic, relating to the word accent and the vowel sound. Authority for this is in the dictionary.

You are frittering away your mighty intellectual strength with the idiosyncrasies of creeds and the clumsy detail of cults, instead of considering the psychological phenomena of religion in its entirety. You descend from the realm of philosophy to assume the role of scholastic to dispute with little men anent points of doctrine, to wrangle with dogmatists regarding their conception of the Deity.

He had loved much and been beloved by women, "wandering over the crooked hills of delicious pleasure"; but their reign over him was over, and long before Savonarola's famous "bonfire of vanities," he had destroyed those love-songs in the vulgar tongue, which would have been such a relief to us, after the scholastic prolixity of his Latin writings.

And so he would go his way, ruffling out his cravat with a crackle of starch, like a turkey when it spread its feathers. Now this, of Mr. Wiseman, is the common opinion. A fact is not called a fact, but a piece of gossip, if it does not fall into one of your scholastic categories.

These and like sayings of the Fathers constitute the texts on which the moral economic doctrine of what is called the Scholastic School is based. St. Hence he adds: 'Whatever a man possesses above what is necessary for his sufficient comfort, he holds by violence." And the same view could be backed by quotations from Henry of Ghent, Duns Scotus, St.

The scholastic philosophy was "the legitimate development of the philosophy of Aristotle and his successors, and was the only philosophy possible in its day. Nay, it was an integral essential element in human progress.

EARLY ITALIAN POETRY AND PROSE. The French element became gradually lessened, and towards the close of the thirteenth century there arose the Tuscan school of lyric poetry, the true beginning of Italian art, of which Lapo Gianni, Guido Cavalcanti, Cino da Pistoia, and Dante Alighieri were the masters. It is mainly inspired by love, and takes a popular courtly or scholastic form.

But poets who describe in verses moral actions and the deeds of brave men should not on that account be condemned. The Scholastic Grouping of Poetic, Rhetoric and Logic The scholastic grouping of logic, rhetoric, and poetic which Savonarola derived from St. Thomas Aquinas persisted for four centuries, rejuvenated by contact with the richer classical scholarship of the renaissance.
