Summary
It has been claimed that, after his elevation to the position of Minister General of the Franciscan Order, Bonaventure developed a mode of expression “wholly alien to the language of the schools.” The noted Bonaventure scholar Jacques-Guy Bougerol, in his Introduction to the Works of Bonaventure, still a standard reference work, declares that, as Minister General, Bonaventure set himself “free from the patterns of the Schools, that is, free to develop a form for his thought more concordant with his vision.” There is no denying Bonaventure’s creativity. And works such as the De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam, the Breviloquium, and the Collations on the Six Days of Creation do not resemble the standard “disputed question” format such as one finds in Thomas Aquinas’s Summa theologiae.
