	Gerson - LoveToKnow 1911
		GERSON, French scholar and divine, chancellor of the university of Paris, and the ruling spirit in the oecumenical councils of Pisa and Constance, was born at the village of Gerson, in the bishopric of Reims and department of Ardennes, on the 14th of December 1363.
		In 1392 Gerson became doctor of theology, and in 1395, when Pierre d'Ailly was made bishop of Puy, he was, at the early age of thirty-two, elected chancellor of the university of Paris, and made a canon of Notre Dame.
		During this period Gerson's literary activity was untiring, and the throb of public expectancy, of hope and fear, is revealed in his multitude of pamphlets.

	Jean de Charlier de Gerson
		Gerson at once set out for France but did not return to Pariis, which was torn by factions and was still in the hands of the Burgundians.
		Gerson is exclusively rational and practical, and the object of all his argumentation is the justification of the most extraordinary methods of procedure in order to attain the final result desired by him and by all Christendom.
		Gerson attributed this "condemnable" obstinancy to the necessity of sycophancy, calling it "a deadly poison with which the organism of the Church is impregnated to the very marrow" (Ibid, II, 247).

		Jean Gerson was born on December 14, 1363, as Jean Charlier in the village of Gerson-les-Barbey from which he later took his name.
		All of Gerson's survivng (three) brothers eventually became monks, and only one of the surviving (six) sisters married, the rest remaining at home as a type of informal pious community under the spiritual direction of Gerson, the eldest brother by means of letters and tracts.
		Gerson traced the problem of the theologians of his day to "useless, unedifying, and insubstantial teachings" which not only asked questions whose answers were far beyond the scope of human reason, but which also led other scholars to believe that theologians preferred the "utterly incredible and absurd" to the Bible and moral theology.

		But Gerson had made an enemy of John the Fearless, duke of Burgundy; from 1408 he had publicly demanded that John do penance for the murder of Louis, duc d'Orléans.

		Gerson himself sensed that he was living at some distance in time from the thirteenth-century masters, who—he expressly states—wrote differently, proceeding by questions and arguments, producing works remarkable for their organization.
		Gerson wrote his tract on contracts in response to a case submitted to him by the prior and abbey of the Carthusian mother house.
		Gerson took these terms and applied them in new ways, to the writing style of contemporary theologians as he saw it, as well as to their approach to theology.

		Pastor and laity in the theology of Jean Gerson explores the pastoral teaching of one of Europe's most influential churchmen of the early fifteenth century.
		Through an examination of Gerson's sermons and writings for the laity, and of his many works giving guidance to bishops and parish priests about their roles as pastors, preachers and confessors, the book throws light on what the late medieval, pre-Reformation church was teaching the laity, and also on popular religious mentality in the period.
		Gerson's teaching on these topics is put into a broad context and compared to that of some of his predecessors and contemporaries.

	Jean Gerson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gerson's chief work was what he did to the great schism.
		His eight verities, as he called them--his apologies for the murder--had been, mainly through the influence of Gerson, condemned by the university of Paris, and by the archbishop and grand inquisitor, and his book had been publicly burned before the cathedral of Notre Dame.
		Although Gerson was "retired" from active university life, the decade at Lyon was a very productive period for the exiled chancellor from a literary point of view.

		Gerson assista au concile de Constance (1414 - 1418); il en fut incontestablement un des membres les plus influents; mais il nous semble qu'on a fort exagéré sa prépondérance en cette assemblée, car elle a maintes fois repoussé ses propositions sur des objets très importants.
		Gerson n'obtint du concile ni la condamnation du fait, ni celle de l'auteur de l'apologie; on réprouva seulement, en termes généraux, le meurtre des tyrans.

	Jean Gerson: Early Works
		Jean Gerson, chancellor of the University of Paris from 1395 until his death, was one of the outstanding theologians and preachers of his time.
		Gerson knew how innovative his approach was, for he opened his treatise with the words: 'Some persons will wonder and ask why, in a matter so lofty as that of the contemplative life, I choose to write in French rather than in Latin, and more to women than to men.'
		Thanks to Gerson's personal letters, translated here for the first time, it is possible to get close to the doubts and pain of a man who sought the vision of God and yearned for affective bonds.

	Jean Gerson Criticism
		In the essay that follows, Caiger discusses how Gerson's views of teaching shifted over time, from an emphasis on “how one may be confident that what is taught is true” to “how one may know that the teacher has a right to teach and may therefore be trusted.”
		In the essay that follows, Pascoe examines Gerson's views of the early Church, particularly regarding the enormous changes brought about the Donation of Constantine, a document long believed legitimate but ultimately proved a forgery, in which the Emperor granted great power and possessions to the Pope.
		In the following essay, Ozment argues that Gerson's programs for reform of the University of Paris and the Church are part of a consistent strain of his thought.

	The Medieval Academy
		This article constitutes a major rethinking of the place of Jean Gerson, revealing him to have been a thinker who rejected older forms of academic discourse (conducted in forms such as commentaries and quodlibets) in favor of composing tracts on topics of wider social significance.
		Thus Gerson became, according to the author, a public intellectual who embraced and helped to shape the emerging cultural world of late-medieval Europe.
		As Hobbins demonstrates, no intellectual could be more elevated, prolific, influential, or well connected than Gerson, and yet his dynamic development of an emerging genre made it possible for him to speak to the current events and daily concerns of contemporaries.

		That is why I eagerly read Daniel Hobbins's excellent article "The Schoolman as Public Intellectual: Jean Gerson and the Late Medieval Tract" (/journals/ahr/108.5/hobbins.html).
		As I read the article, I was reminded of another "public intellectual" who was a contemporary of Jean Gerson and who also wrote in the vernacular for lay audiences and reached a wide public.
		Because he shared so many similarities with Gerson, I kept looking for some mention of him, especially since Gerson participated in the Council of Constance, which found Hus guilty of heresy and sentenced him to death.
