Nicholas of Cusa and His Age: Intellect and Spirituality
Essays Dedicated to the Memory of F. Edward Cranz, Thomas P. McTighe and Charles Trinkaus
Series: - Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, Volume: 105
This volume commemorates the 6th centennial of the birth of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464), a Renaissance polymath whose interests included law, politics, metaphysics, epistemology, theology, mysticism and relations between Christians and non-Christian peoples. The contributors to this volume reflect Cusanus' multiple interests; and, by doing so they commemorate three deceased luminaries of the American Cusanus Society: F. Edward Cranz, Thomas P. McTighe and Charles Trinkaus.

'This is an important book. the essays maintain a high scholarly level and form a remarkably coherent whole. They address the theme of "intellect and spirituality" clearly and forcefully, especially in the revealing accounts of Cusanus's Christology. Although I have studies Nicholas for more than 30 years, I learned much from this book. Readers new to Cusanus will find their way into his thought through the clear and accessible writing that marks nearly all the essays.'

'Thomas Izbicki and Christopher Bellitto should be commended in particular for their attempt to explore an issue that lies at the very heart of Nicholas of Cusa's thought but that does not always receive the direct attention it deserves: the connection between intellectual life and spiritual life...Izbicki and Bellitto have provided a work that is a valuable resource for those who seek to acquire a deeper understanding of the thought of Nicholas of Cusa.'
