A Critical Edition of William of Ockham's Philosophical and Theological Writings

The Franciscan Institute will prepare and direct the critical edition of the philosophical and theological writings of William of Ockham (+1347). Such an edition would give scholars a reliable basis upon which to study the thought of this important author. Since some of these works have never been edited and most of the others are available only in editions printed before 1500 A.D., a critical edition is highly desirable.
