CABLE 361 Theology, Sacramental Debates, and Political Thought in John of Paris: The Case of the Eucharist GIANLUCA BRIGUGLIA 401 Acknowledgements I first encountered John of Paris as a callow youth in the History Department at the University of Durham. We were introduced by Dr Len Scales, who sub- sequently supervised an undergraduate dissertation on the reasons why John wrote his most famous tract, On Royal and Papal Power. My continuing puz- zlement as to what those reasons were helped to inspire this volume. My inter- est in John and his thought was fanned by Dr Robert W. Dyson, of what was then Durham’s Politics Department. Although I was never formally his student, from the day I first knocked on Bob’s door and declared my interest in medieval political thought he proved remarkably willing to give up his time to discuss John and his contemporaries, and I benefitted immensely from those conversa- tions. Despite numerous sidesteps, a serious flirtation with Marsilius of Padua, and dalliances with many a Parisian chronicler, I have always found myself drawn back to John and the window he opened for me onto the medieval world. This particular volume took shape in a series of sessions devoted to John at the 2010 Leeds International Medieval Congress and was refined by the discus- sions those sessions facilitated between contributors. Its publication was, how- ever, much delayed by the series of earthquakes that struck Christchurch, New zealand, between September 2010 and mid-2011. It was 2014 before circum- stances allowed for the work’s completion. I would like to express my thanks to my colleagues past and present at the University of Canterbury, particularly Mark Francis, Philippa Mein Smith, Peter Field, Bronwyn Matthews, and Jenny Clement. And to the contributors, the publisher, and the editorial board for their patience and understanding in difficult circumstances. I am particularly grateful to the two anonymous readers and to my colleague Gwen Parsons for their sage advice and ability to spot inconsistencies. And, finally, to my mother, father, and sister Vanessa without whose love, support, and company in Surrey pubs I am certain I would never achieve anything at all. x Acknowledgements This project was begun while I was in receipt of a Holgate Fellowship at Grey College, University of Durham in 2009. I wish to acknowledge the financial assistance of the School of Humanities & Creative Arts, University of Canterbury, which provided funding towards translation and travel costs. Publication was supported by funding from the Office of the Assistant Vice- Chancellor Māori, University of Canterbury, and by a grant from the Scouloudi Foundation in association with the Institute of Historical Research.
