Stefano Langton sui battesimo: edizione delle Quaestiones

Between the mid of the 12th century and the first decades of the 13th century, the major theologians of the Latin Church focused their attention on the sacraments, which became one of the main issues of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). In particular, the authors of this period reflected on the features of baptism, analyzing its nature and its components. Stephen Langton devoted a considerable attention to baptism and several quaestiones disputatae consecrated to this sacrament are preserved among his writings. The article offers a critical edition of these texts together with a study of their manuscript tradition.
