Ho così indicato come, muovendo dal Commento all'Apocalisse (1329) di Nicola di Lyra (1270-1349), diventi possibile individuare nel concetto di profezia un momento di strutturale importanza per apprezzare in una prospettiva organica l'edificio di pensiero proposto da questo autore. Muovendo da una tale impostazione, mi sono rivolto a tre ulteriori sezioni dell'opera del Lyrano: il Prologus Primus che inaugura la sua Postilla Litteralis super Totam Bibliam, il Prologo del Commento ai Salmi e il Commento alla Prima Lettera ai Corinzi. In quest'occasione, intendo analizzare i principali contenuti del Prologo del Commento ai Salmi. Sarà difatti in questo luogo letterario che incontreremo la più consistente elaborazione teorica del concetto di profezia nella cornice di pensiero elaborata da Nicola di Lyra.

For a preliminary overview of the life of Nicholas of Lyra, of his production and of the contents of his Commentary on the Apocalypse, see part I. In this text I will try to connect the conclusion of his commentary on the visions of John with the theory of prophecy that emerges from the Postilla Litteralis super Totam Bibliam. I will therefore address three specific sections of the work: the Prologus Primus, the Prologue of the Commentary on the Psalms and the Commentary on the First Letter to the Corinthians. At the end of this path, I will undertake to probe the possible connections between the speculative proposal of Nicholas of Lyra and the subsequent seasons in the history of prophecy in the late medieval world. As long as not otherwise noted, I agree with publishing the abstract on the blog of the Max-Weber-Kolleg. The agreement can be retracted anytime.

EinÜberblicküber das Leben des Nikolaus von Lyra, seine Werke und den Inhalt seines Kommentars zur Apokalypse, sind in Teil I zu finden. In diesem Text, als Teil II von II, werde ich versuchen, die Schlussfolgerung seines Kommentars zu den Visionen des Johannes mit der Theorie der Prophezeiung zu verbinden, die aus der Postilla Litteralis super Totam Bibliam hervorgeht. Ich werde daher auf drei spezifische Abschnitte des Werkes eingehen: den Prologus Primus, den Prolog des Psalmenkommentars und den Kommentar zum ersten Korintherbrief. Abschließend werde ich die möglichen Verbindungen zwischen dem spekulativen Vorschlag von Nikolaus von Lyra und den nachfolgenden Epochen in der Geschichte der Prophezeiung in der spätmittelalterlichen Welt untersuchen. Soweit nicht anders vermerkt, stimme ich der Veröffentlichung des Abstracts auf dem Blog des Max-Weber-Kollegs zu. Die Zustimmung kann jederzeit widerrufen werden.

I will therefore focus mainly on the most problematic moment of the work, namely the author's comment on Revelation XX. In fact, it is precisely in this chapter that Nicholas, declaring his lack of access to the prophetic gift, reveals his myopia in the face of any attempt to recompose the events surrounding him from an historical-eschatological perspective. As I will show in Part II, with this strategy, the prophetic word is therefore subjected to a speculative work aimed at subtracting it from the claims of the apocalyptic thought and at relocating it adequately within a social project suited to the needs of the Church of the time.
