[lit-ideas] Quæstio Subtilissima

D. P. Henry, author (inter alia) of "The most subtle question", passed away  
on Oct. 28th, 2004, in Manchester, England.
 
The title of his book refers to Rabelais's reference (Bk. 2, ch. 7) to the 
title  of one of the fine books in the library of St Victor's: "The most subtle 
 
question; whether a chimaera bombinating in the void can consume secondary  
intentions", and which was debated for teen weeks before the Council of  
Constance.
 
D. Ritchie may have a reference as to whether a subtle answer was  found?
 
Cheers,
 
JL
