Preparation of a critical edition of Duns Scotus's Reportatio Parisiensis examinata I-A, distinctions 25-35. (24 months)

Scotus was unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential philosopher-theologians of the Middle Ages. The research team proposes to work on Scotus's "Commentaria in libros Sententiarum Parisiensia" by continuing our on-going edition of the "Reportatio Parisiensis examinata I-A," part of one of the most influential commentaries on the Sentences in the High Middle Ages. The critical edition forthcoming from the proposed study will be an invaluable resource for medievalists, philosophers, theologians, historians of ideas and historians of science. The historical impact of Scotus's philosophical and theological ideas was enormous, substantially influencing discussions of topics down to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
