Guillaume Adeline

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guillaume Adeline (Adelme, Edelin, Hameline), Guillaume de Line or Guilhelmus Linensis called de Lure (Luranus) (* between 1400 and 1410 in St. Hilarius ; † around 1457 in Évreux ) was a French theologian, probably at times a follower of the Waldensians and early critic of the witch hunt .

Life

Origin and studies

Doctor and rector of the Sorbonne University in the 15th century

Guillaume (Guillelmus) Adeline (in German also Wilhelmus Luranus) was born in what is now Illiers-Combray in the Diocese of Chartres . According to his own statements, he entered the Carmelite order around 1422/23 and studied theology at the University of Avignon under Jean Faci († 1450).

An ordination seems Guillaume Adeline, although he later Prior and maybe Abt was to have never received.

It is unclear when Adeline was accepted into the Magisterium at the University of Paris . At the Sorbonne , a "Guillelmus Adelie" or "Adeline" was awarded a doctorate on January 12, 1428 together with Guillaume Érard († 1439), Nicolaus Amici and others and mentioned there in 1429, 1430 and 1431 as a master of theology. In 1428 he is referred to as a Dominican (“Predicator”), so it remains questionable whether it is the same person. According to a note from Jean Chartier († 1464), the biographer of King Charles VII (1403–1461), Guillaume Adeline was initially an Augustinian and cleric of various other orders.

In the files of the Inquisitions trial, which was conducted in Rouen against Joan of Arc († 1431), appears in April 1431 under the reviewers of the Paris University and advisers of the bishop Pierre Cauchon († 1442), who initiated the process Master of Arts or Doctor of Theology "Guillelmus Adelie" or "Adolis".

Council of Basel, work in Burgundy and Normandy

At the Basel Council , into which it was incorporated on May 23, 1432, Guillaume Adeline defended the papacy and turned against " schismatics ".

In 1437 he was prior of Clairvaux-les-Lacs near Lons-le-Saunier in the Free County of Burgundy . The local Carmelite monastery of the old observance was founded in 1434 by Guillaume II. De Villersexel († 1475). Then Guillaume Adeline worked in Orbec in the diocese of Lisieux , where in 1432 Pierre Cauchon had become bishop.

Professorship at the Sorbonne

In the 1440s, Guillaume was a doctor and professor of theology at the Sorbonne. After allegedly 18 years of membership in the Carmelite order, he first lived in Paris in the Carthusian monastery there on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève and intended to convert to the Carthusian order . Under increasing pressure to be released from his previous religious vows , he fell out with the Carthusians and in 1441 received the approval of Pope Eugene IV to change to the Benedictine order from the Curia Bishop Christophorus de Sancto Marcello († 1444) . In 1445 and 1448 he met as prior of the monastery of Saint-Vincent et Saint-Germain in the royal residence city of Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris. The priory belonged to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Coulombs - located near Guillaume's birthplace - in the Diocese of Chartres.

Working in Normandy

Guillaume Adeline later entered a Benedictine monastery of the Caen Congregation ("ordo sancti Benedicti Cadomi") and stayed in the diocese of Évreux . In 1451, the General Chapter of the Cistercians complained that the Benedictine Guillaume Adeline, prior in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, should be appointed Abbot of Le Breuil-Benoît (Brolium Benedicti) in the Diocese of Evreux. In fact, Amaury (Amalricus) I. Sarradin is mentioned in the “official” list of the Cistercian abbots of the monastery from 1451 or 1452 to 1458. Adeline was mostly called Guillaume de Lure (Luranus) at that time.

Admission to the Magisterkollegium and the theological faculty of the University of Poitiers , which Guillaume tried to get in talks in Poitiers , did not come about.

Inquisition proceedings and death

Section about Guillaume Adeline in incunabulum by Pierre Mamor: Flagellum Maleficorum , probably Lyon , last quarter of the 15th century

Guillaume was considered a great preacher and, in sermons with reference to Bishop Agobard (* around 769, † 840) and John of Salisbury (* around 1115, † 1180), took the view that the stories of sorcery , witches and the flight of witches were mere fables. He was then under Bishop Guillaume VI. de Flocques († 1464) indicted by Évreux. He was allegedly accused of being a witch by a noble lady who had become pregnant by him. He was also accused with his niece incest driven and have neglected his duties as a cleric.

Guillaume Adeline accused himself in a confession of a pact with the devil and participation in the witches' sabbath, presumably extorted with threats of torture or the death penalty . In 1437 he was under the influence of the Lord of Clairvaux - meaning Olivier de Longwy († around 1463) - joined the "so-called sect of the Waldenses" and in 1438 took part in their secret nightly meetings in the diocese of Besançon . According to the inquisitors, he himself preached heretical heresy in Orbec.

In the trial files, central French sentences are quoted within the Latin text , which allegedly were used in the witches' sabbaths of the " Waldensian synagogue ", but can actually come from a Waldensian liturgy :

"Il soit le tres bien venu" - "May he [the new visitor] be very welcome"; “Vecy venir votre seigneur, appareillez vous de le recepvoir ainsi comme il appartient” - “Here comes your Lord. Be ready to receive it as it is due (cf. 1 Cor 16:22  EU ; Matt 25 : 1-13  EU, etc.). "

The chairman of the meeting ( demon presidens ) was called Monseigneur ( mon Senior ). The formula that was said when joining the denomination is said to have been:

"Je frere Guillelme Adeline, prieur de Clervaulx, renye la foy de la trinite, la vierge Marie, la croys, l'eaue benoite et le paint benoit et l'adoracion des croys es chemins et partout" - "Me, brother Guillelme Adeline , Prior of Clairvaux, swear my belief in the Trinity, the Virgin Mary, the cross, holy water and consecrated bread and the worship of crosses on paths or elsewhere. "

However, these statements correspond more to the Roman Catholic accusations of heresy against the Waldensians than to their own self-image.

The inquisition process was carried out by the episcopal judge Simon Senestre (Chenestre, Capistri) and the Dominican Mag. Enguerrand Synard (Signard) († 1477) as deputy to the French Grand Inquisitor Roland Le Cozic († around 1476). Guillaume Adeline sought in vain support from the University of Caen , which had been rebuilt a year earlier (1452) after the British were expelled towards the end of the Hundred Years War . An opinion from the Theological Faculty of Paris University spoke against him.

Apse of the Notre-Dame d'Evreux cathedral

Guillaume Adeline had to publicly revoke his views on December 12, 1453 in the episcopal chapel at the Notre-Dame cathedral in Évreux. The central French wording of his abjuration has been preserved. The witnesses included Abbot Jean IV. Trunquet († 1473), theology professor Gerard Thomas and the doctor Gaufridus Amici. Guillaume was sentenced to life imprisonment and died four years later in the episcopal dungeon .

reception

In the inquisition trials that were carried out in Arras in 1459/60 against "Waldensians", Guillaume Adeline was considered a precedent for the fact that even distinguished and educated people can succumb to demonic seduction.

Adeline was cited by the witch theorists Nicolas Jacquier († 1472), Pierre Mamor (* around 1429/30; † after 1470), Jean Bodin (1529 / 30–1596) or Martin Anton Delrio (1551–1608) as a daunting example. Jacquier - presumably during the council in Basel - and Marmor write about meeting him personally.

Even François Villon († after 1463) could have referred to Adeline in a poem around 1462 with the mention of a “chevaucheur d'escouvettes” (= “ Besenreiter ”) ( Grand Testament , 668). The French humanist and Minister General of the Trinitarian Order Robert Gaguin (1433-1501) alluded to the fate of Adeline in his poem S'ensuit le Passe temps d'oysiveté , written in London in 1489, and mentioned him in his compendium of French history published in 1495. In later accounts it is reported that Guillaume Adeline was burned on December 12, 1453 in Évreux or Poitiers - the place where his biographer Pierre Mamor worked.

The reformed theologian Gisbert Voetius (1589–1676) mentions Wilhelmus de Lure in the disputation theses De Magia, pars altera, drawn up in Utrecht in 1639 for Theodorus Collinus from Haarlem : The magician was a sworn ambassador of the devil who wanted to convince that there was none devilish sorcery.

In 1660 the Swedish provost Petrus Simmingh (1623–1683) wrote a treatise Contra Luranum in which he describes satanic apparitions that he claims to have experienced. The Augsburg pastor and polymath Gottlieb Spitzel (1639-1691), who had studied in the Netherlands, called in his work The Broken Power of Darkness 1687 to persecute deniers of the devil's pact and opponents of witch hunts like Adeline as atheists and wicked.

The early Enlightenment Christian Thomasius (1655-1728) described Bodin's story about Guillaume Adeline's devil pact in 1701 as a "fable", which was extorted under torture, Peter Goldschmidt (1662-1713) turned against Thomasius' view . Ignaz von Döllinger (1799–1890) was one of the first modern historians to use the files on the inquisition trial against Guillaume Adeline in the Paris Cod. Lat. 3446 to research the persecution of special religious communities in the late Middle Ages .
