Isidoro Isolani OPa jeho Summa de donis sancti Ioseph
Isidoro Isolani OP and his Summa de donis sancti Ioseph

Summary/Abstract: The article begins with a brief description of the development of the cult of Saint Joseph and a doctrine that maturated in the work of Jean Gerson (1363‒1429) and the Dominican friar Isidoro Isolani (ca. 1477/1484‒ca. 1528). It subsequently tracts the life of Isidoro Isolani and the outline of his work. It consequently focuses on Isolani’s most famous work, i.e. Summa de donis sancti Ioseph (1522), which is the first theological treatise on Saint Joseph. It discusses its origin, sources, content, speculative affective character, prophetic elements and editions. An evaluation of the Summa is indicated in the conclu¬sion. Although it is a fruit of its day, it also exceeds its time and remains a good means of knowledge about Saint Joseph. The main goal of the article is a quasi encyclopaedical presentation of this work and its author.
