This article presents the critical edition of four sermons by Giles of Rome for Easter. The analysis focuses in particular on Sermon 16 “Venit Ihesus ianuis clausis” (Ioh. 20, 26) for the first Sunday after Easter. This sermon, approximately contemporary of Giles’ lecture on the fourth book of the Sentences (1271-72), is very important and interesting: it discusses the problem of bodies’ impenetrability raised by the two apparitions of Jesus after the resurrection that feature in John’s Gospel. Here Jesus is said to have passed through doors that were closed. How does this happen? Giles criticizes the solutions by Gregory the Great, Bonaventure, and Thomas Aquinas, and presents a new solution based on a ‘weak’ notion of per se property.

Abstract

This article presents the critical edition of four sermons by Giles of Rome for Easter. The analysis focuses in particular on Sermon 16 “Venit Ihesus ianuis clausis” (Ioh. 20, 26) for the first Sunday after Easter. This sermon, approximately contemporary of Giles’ lecture on the fourth book of the Sentences (1271-72), is very important and interesting: it discusses the problem of bodies’ impenetrability raised by the two apparitions of Jesus after the resurrection that feature in John’s Gospel. Here Jesus is said to have passed through doors that were closed. How does this happen? Giles criticizes the solutions by Gregory the Great, Bonaventure, and Thomas Aquinas, and presents a new solution based on a ‘weak’ notion of per se property.
