fifteenth-century Low Countries

Peter de Rivo
(c.1420–1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is
today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future
contingents (1465–1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical
chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ’s birth
and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing
discussion with his Dyalogus de
temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting the
history of the Jewish and Christian calendars. Later in his career, Peter
tackled the issue of calendar reform in his Reformacio
kalendarii Romani (1488) and engaged in a heated debate with Paul of
Middelburg on the chronology of Christ. This book edits the Dyalogus and Reformacio and sets out their context and transmission in an
extensive historical introduction.
