Preparation for print and digital publication of 13th-century philosopher Henry of Ghent’s Questiones ordinariae (Summa), articles 73-75. (36 months)

This will be the first critical edition of Henry of Ghent’s Summa, articles 73-75. It will be published by Leuven University Press. Henry of Ghent was the most important philosopher and theologian in the last decades of the thirteenth century, between Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus. His thought was influential in the medieval and modern periods and beyond. This edition covers the last articles of his major work (the Summa), which deal with philosophy of language—a topic of major significance in the history of philosophy and in contemporary scholarship. The edition will promote translations and studies of this central topic in this major figure.
