Completion for print and online publication of Henry of Ghent's Quaestiones ordinariae (=Summa), articles 53-55. (36 months)

The critical edition of the works of Henry of Ghent, the most important medieval philosopher in the last quarter of the thirteenth 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: eighteen are in print and others are in preparation by a multinational team. This proposal is for three academic years (2010-2013) for G. Wilson and G. Etzkorn to research one specific volume, Quaestiones ordinariae (Summa), art. 53-55. 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 web site. Because Leuven University Press is committed to printing volumes in the series, publication is assured in advance.
