   Extractions: Nikolaus Kryffs or Krebs was the son of a wealthy shipper on the river Mosel. He was born in Kues, now Bernkastel-Kues, about 30 km from Trier, an old town in the Palatinate, founded by the Romans. He was named Cusanus, as usual in the Latin speaking church environment, from the Latin name of the town. He was ordained in 1440 and became a cardinal in 1448 and then became the bishop of Brixon (now Bressanone) in 1450. (The 'cardinal' was a title, while the 'bishop' was an office.) He was interested in geometry and logic. He contributed to the study of infinity, studying the infinitely large and the infinitely small. He looked at the circle as the limit of regular polygons and used it in his religious teaching to show how one can approach truth but never reach it completely. Cusa is best known as a philosopher who argued the incomplete nature of man's knowledge of the universe. He claimed that the search for truth was equal to the task of

   Extractions: Since the divine in us is certainly not vain, we need to know that we are ignorant. If we can attain this end completely, we shall attain 'learned ignorance'. For nothing becomes a man, even the most zealous, more perfectly in learning than to be found very learned in ignorance itself, which is his characteristic, and anyone will he the more learned the more he knows his own ignorance. De docta ignorantia NICHOLAS OF CUSA Everything craves its contrary, and not for its like", Socrates reports hearing a statesman say; "the dry craves for moisture, the cold for heat, the bitter for sweetness, the sharp for bluntness, the empty to be filled, the full to be emptied." This affirmation in the Lysis of the universal play of opposites in the realm of phenomena applies ironically to the history of the church in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Innocent III, pope from 1198 to 1216, first realized the practical possibility of extending the spiritual and temporal rule of the church across the whole of Europe. His most spectacular success was the submission of England where, under John and Henry III, he ruled de jure and de facto through his legates. Those who followed him pursued the policies of an imperial papacy. Even as the attendant bureaucracy began to embrace the continent, two countervailing forces arose: the burgesses emerged as a business-oriented class with distinctly secular attitudes, whilst rulers and ministers who had once built kingdoms around their courts increasingly thought in terms of nation-states. The former mocked the religious decadence of a church flagrantly panting after gold, and the latter sought to divert that gold into national treasuries.

   Extractions: Nicholas of Cusa (ca. 1400 - August 11 ) was a cardinal of the Catholic Church , a philosopher , and an astronomer . He was born in Kues, Germany (hence "of Cusa") to a merchant family, and received his doctorate in canon law from the University of Padua in 1423. After a successful career as a papal legate , he was made a cardinal by Pope Nicholas V in 1448 or 1449, and was named Bishop of Brixen in 1450. His work as bishop was opposed by Archduke Sigismund of Austria ; the duke imprisoned Nicholas in 1460, for which Pope Pius II excommunicated Sigismund and laid an interdict on his lands. Nicholas of Cusa was never able to return to his bishopric, however: Sigmund's capitulation in 1464 came a few days after Nicholas's death at Todi in Umbria Nicholas of Cusa was noted for his deeply mystical writings about Christianity , particularly the nature of the Trinity . Many believe he was influenced in this by the work of Thomas a Kempis . He was suspected by some of holding pantheistic beliefs, but his writings were never accused as being

   Extractions: His interests lied in geometry and logic. Also studied Infinity, the Infinite large and small. Main argument as a philosopher is that the "search for truth is equal tot he task of squaring a circle". He became interested in Astronomy in 1444 saying that the earth moved around the Sun, that the stars were other suns and that space was infinite, and that these suns had other worlds that were inhabited.

Z German cardinal, philosopher, and administrator, b. at Cues on the Moselle, in the Archdiocese of Trier, 1400 or 1401; d. at Todi, in Umbria, 11 August, 1464. His father, Johann Cryfts (Krebs), a wealthy boatman ( nauta, not a "poor fisherman"), died in 1450 or 1451, and his mother, Catharina Roemers, in 1427. The legend that Nicholas fled from the ill-treatment of his father to Count Ulrich of Mandersheid is doubtfully reported by Hartzheim (Vita N. de Cusa, Trier, 1730), and has never been proved. Of his early education in a school of Deventer nothing is known; but in 1416 he was matriculated in the University of Heidelberg, by Rector Nicholas of Bettenberg, as "Nicholaus Cancer de Coesze, cler[icus] Trever[ensis] dioc[esis]". A year later, 1417, he left for Padua, where he graduated, in 1423, as doctor in canon law ( decretorum doctor ) under the celebrated Giuliano Cesarini. It is said that in later years, he was honoured with the doctorate in civil law by the University of Bologna. At Padua he became the friend of Paolo Toscanelli His public career began in 1421, at the Council of Basle, which opened under the presidency of his former teacher, Giuliano Cesarini. The cause of Count Ulrich of Manderscheid, which he defended, was lost and the transactions with the Bohemians, in which the represented the German nation, proved fruitless. His main efforts at the council were for the reform of the calendar and for the unity, political and religious, of all

    Extractions: Nicholas of Cusa Nicholas of Cusa lived from 1401 to 1464 CE. He is the author of approximately 25 philosophical and spiritual works, but he also led a very active life. He served the Roman Catholic Church as a papal advocate before the imperial diets, cardinal-legate to Germany and the Netherlands, bishop at Brixen (in what's now known as Germany) and a papal adviser, vicar-general, and cameraius in Rome. A pivotal point in his life occurred in 1437 when Pope Eugene IV sent Cusa and two other bishops to Constantinople to help secure Greek approval for a joint East-West council in Italy. His interaction with Eastern Orthodox Christians provided him with a fresh vision of unity and difference coexisting not only within the church but also in the soul's experience of God and the world. During this trip Cusa also reports having a profound, revelatory experience which he believed to be a divine gift. It was a visionary experience of the "incomprehensible" that opened up new ways for Cusa to speak about the ineffable. Hugh Lawrence Bond, the author of

14. Meister Eckhart In Nicholas Of Cusa’s 1456 Sermon
    Observations by Clyde Lee Miller.

    Extractions: Menu Vier Predigten im Geiste Eckharts , would be a selection of Cusan sermons modeled after Eckhart’s wondrous German sermons. But Koch had other purposeshe was concerned to show that Nicholas, though not directly influenced by Eckhart before the late 1440s, was definitely reading Eckhart by the early 1450s. So he picked four sermons where Cusanus took material directly from Eckhart’s Latin treatises (not even Eckhart’s Latin sermons!). Koch’s effort was and is edifying, of course, for those tracing Nicholas’ relation to or defense of Meister Eckhart. Yet the upshot is that this sermon of 1456 is definitely not "in the spirit of" Eckhart’s German sermons, in the sense of Eckhart’s literary style. But what Nicholas says accords with the teaching Eckhart propounded in his Latin commentaries on John’s Prologue and on Genesis. Cusanus’ sermon is "secundum mentem Magistri Eckardi" in substance and often repeats his words verbatim. His further explanations and proposals are particularly interesting as he expounds the Meister in Cusan fashion. "Ubi est qui natus est rex Judeorum?" Following Eckhart’s commentary on John 1:38, Nicholas indicates (#4) that this utterance of the Magi from Matthew’s Gospel need not be taken as a question. Instead, it can be read as a statement or declaration, as if it said that the where or place of everything is God, the one born king of the Jews. Jesus is "‘where’ or ‘place’ in the absolute sense." The next ten sections of the sermon expand on and interpret this idea.

Trained as a canonist, he first made his mark in political thought. Later, Nicholas became a papal envoy, a cardinal and an original speculative thinker. His ideas of learned ignorance, coincidence of opposites and enfolding / unfolding still attract attention today. The American Cusanus Society, founded in 1983, promotes the study of Nicholas and his times. It holds sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University in May of each year, and it has held biennial working conferences at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The conferences have yielded two volumes of collected essays, Nicholas of Cusa in Search of God and Wisdom, ed. G. Christianson and T.M. Izbicki (Leiden, 1991) and Nicholas of Cusa on Christ and the Church, ed. G. Christianson and TM Izbicki (Leiden, 1996). The Society also publishes a newsletter.

    Extractions: Nicholas of Cusa, Alberti and the Architectonics of the Mind Graziella Federici Vescovini " O ne of the single most important ideas emerging from Alberti's concepts is that of the relationship between the artist's ingenuity and his natural and social surroundings, that is, the relationship between the world and the artist's representation of it. It has been noted that this concept resonates singularly with that of Nicholas of Cusa, with whom Alberti shared mutual friendships. The idea of the creativity of the artist's mind, including thoughts on his relationship to the world around him, his capacity to harmoniously reconstruct in accordance with innate proportions (the mind is the locus of proportion, Nicholas wrote) and the beauty of discordant, contradictory Nature, is clearly developed in De Mente and other works anterior to 1450, when Alberti labored over De re aedificatoria. Nicholas' idea of the architectonic vis of the human mind finds a singular consonance with Alberti's vis compositionis , according to which the artist imitates the divine ars in recomposing the contradictions, irregularities and even monstrosities of the world. Neither Nicholas nor Alberti presents the concept of the relationship between the artist and the world around him as something tranquil and objectively given, but rather as a continuing tension. It is a personal conquest by the artist's ingenuity that corrects and upholds the
