Preparation for print and online publication of 13th century philosopher Henry of Ghent's Quaestiones Ordinariae (Summa), articles 60-62. (36 months)

The critical edition of the works of Henry of Ghent, the most important philosopher in the last quarter of the 13th century, is a project coordinated by Leuven University in Belgium. This edition fits into the large scheme of historical research in which the humanistic and intellectual roots of our institutions, ideas, and values, many of which have medieval origins, are developing. Forty-five volumes are anticipated in the series: twenty are in print and others are in preparation by a multinational team. This proposal is for three years for G. Wilson and G. Etzkorn to research one specific volume, Quaestiones ordinariae (Summa), art. 60-62. The end product will be a printed volume in the Henry of Ghent series and the Latin text will also be placed on the Henry of Ghent Opera omnia web site . Because Leuven University is committed to printing volumes in the series and the series is self-supporting, publication is assured in advance.

Author: Henry of Ghent

Abstract: Critical study of the ‘second part’ of Henry’s Summa devoted to the Persons of the Trinity Henry of Ghent’s Summa, art. 53-55, was composed shortly after Christmas of 1281, at the height of Henry’s teaching career in the Theology Faculty at the University in Paris. These questions, which begin the ‘second part’ of his Summa, are devoted to the Persons of the Trinity. They contain Henry’s philosophical analyses of the theoretical concepts person, relation, and universals. The text has been reconstructed based upon manuscripts copied from a first and second Parisian university exemplar. In the critical study that precedes the Latin text, the editors argue that the manuscript, Biblioteca VATICANA, Borghese 17, which contains the texts of these articles and which has, in the latter part of this manuscript, many of the features of an exemplar divided into pecia, could not have been the exemplar divided into pecia for these particular articles.
