Tempier condemns 219 propositions at Paris

On 7 March 1277 Bishop Étienne Tempier condemns 219 propositions, mainly from Aristotle and Averroes, after a narrower 1270 ban on 13. Twenty are Thomistic, which hurts Aquinas's reputation for years; the condemnation is later partly annulled as far as it touched him.
