Original title: Informatio de libro r. p. f. Henrici de Noris, Augustiniani, &c. cui titulus est Historia Pelagiana, dissertatio historica de synodo quinta, vindiciæ Augustinianae. Ad censores libri hujus nuper à summo pontifice delectos. Ab uno theologo Parisiensi An anonymous Latin juridical brief addressed to papal censors, denouncing Enrico Noris’s works on Pelagianism and Augustinian grace. It argues, through page-by-page citations and technical scholastic distinctions about sufficient and proximate grace, that Noris’s doctrine is materially identical to condemned Jansenism and should be judged accordingly. The text culminates in a demand that Noris swear to the Alexandrine formulary in its plain sense. 👉 Read our introductory primer, full report, and finding guide here 📜 View the original file on Internet Archive This text was transcribed and translated as part of the ExLatinis project—an effort by Leo to make English translations of every published text in Latin in early modern Europe (between 1450 and 1750) available to the public for free online.
