The Old and the New. Scholastic Components in the Works of Petrus Nannius, Professor of the Collegium Trilingue in the First Half of the 16th Century

The historiography related to the Collegium Trilingue has long emphasised the sharp antagonism between the humanist spirit of the young institution and the scholastic traditionalism of the older faculties. In recent decades, the constructive exchanges that also took place between the college and the faculties, as well as between humanism and scholasticism more generally, have been progressively highlighted. While the main focus usually remains on the various contributions brought on by the studia humanitatis to other disciplines (such as natural philosophy, logic, ethics, law, theology or medicine), I propose to proceed the other way round and to observe the way in which the scholastic tradition may have been running through the intellectual output of the early members of the Trilingue. My paper builds on the achievements of the Schol'Art project carried out since 2017 at the UCLouvain, whose central hypothesis is that the pervasive intellectual background of scholasticism must have profoundly influenced the other intellectual and cultural fields of the time, including the studia humanitatis. This influence is indeed noticeable at various levels in the written production labelled as humanist, e.g. with regard to the modes of reasoning, the use of concepts and the theoretical presuppositions. The present paper studies in particular the various works of Petrus Nannius, Latin professor at the Trilingue between 1539 and 1557. The aim is not only to find traces of the presence of scholasticism in these works, but also to analyse the modalities, stakes and issues of this presence
