Henry of Ghent

On the occasion of this 700th anniversary, the collaborators of the Opera Omnia Henrici de Gandavo - edited since 1979 by the 'De Wulf-Mansioncentrum' - organized this meeting devoted to the philosophy and theology of the Doctor Solemnis, who probably was the greatest medieval thinker of the former Low Countries.

This colloquium had a twofold purpose: first, to establish a status quaestionisof the different fields of research concerning Henry's doctrines and the critical edition of his work; second, to provide a forum for specialists to exchange ideas on specific problems.

The publication of the Proceedings offers an assessment of our present knowledge and opens up possibilities for further research. The Proceedingsinclude a bio-bibliography of Henry of Ghent.

Thanks to the combination of the various approaches herein published, this volume constitutes an instrument that is almost indispensable for any further investigation of Henry's oeuvre.

"Henry of Ghent" was edited by Willy Vanhamel.

Yes, "Henry of Ghent" is part of the "Ancient and Medieval Philosophy - Series 1" series. It's book 15 in the series.

In association with The De Wulf-Mansion Centre.

About the Series

The series' focus lies primarily on the continuity and thematic transitions between ancient, medieval and renaissance thought, but also includes volumes on specific topics related to any of those periods. ‘Philosophy' is understood broadly to include metaphysics, ethics, natural philosophy, epistemology and philosophy of mind, and philosophical theology. Since the series is particularly devoted to making available Latin and Greek source texts, we welcome critical text editions as well as contributions that are based on philological scrutiny of those texts, without losing sight of their philosophical importance.

Ancient and Medieval Philosophy - Series 1 aims to publish at least two volumes a year and accepts monographs as well as thematically coherent edited volumes in English (without excluding the possibility of French, German, or Italian contributions to edited volumes). Manuscripts should be 80.000 to 120.000 words in length.

Readership

Researchers and graduate students in ancient, medieval and renaissance philosophy, in classics and in history.
