Moral Theology: Its Method and Masters
Ulricus, Engelbertus de Argentina
Drawn from the authors' own words; every quotation links to its place.
Dominican · ?–1277
In Prümmer's Catalogue and Haringer's Index
- “Ulricus, Engelbertus de Argentina, O.P., German (d. ca. 1277), disciple of Blessed Albert the Great, left a Summa theologica, which Ioannes de Friburgo often used in the Summa confessorum, but which, alas, has not yet been printed.” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.
He wrote before the moral systems were formed (Medina first set out probabilism in 1577), so what is reported here is how each author reads the principles he followed, not a system he held. Our authors read him differently.
