Medieval Latin Reading Group seminar on the reception of mystical theology in fifteenth-century Munich and the significance of “minor” texts for the development of intellectual traditions.

We will discuss a short portion from Robert Grosseteste at Munich, Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations 14 (Louvain and Paris: Peeters, 2012). The reading, approximately two pages, will be circulated in advance in Latin and English translation. All are welcome, regardless of your prior involvement in the reading group. No Latin required.

Prof. Rosemann is chair of the department of philosophy at the University of Dallas. Trained in the history of medieval philosophy and modern continental philosophy, he has written several books at the intersection of these areas: Omne ens est aliquid. Introduction à la lecture du "système" philosophique de saint Thomas d'Aquin (Peeters, 1996); Omne agens agit sibi simile: A "Repetition" of Scholastic Metaphysics (Leuven University Press, 1996); Understanding Scholastic Thought with Foucault (The New Middle Ages series; St. Martin’s, 1999). In recent years, he has combined manuscript and book history with historical theology and institutional history in his studies of Lombard’s Sentences, the foundational text of the medieval university: Peter Lombard (Oxford University Press, 2004); The Story of a Great Medieval Book: Peter Lombard's "Sentences," (University of Toronto Press, 2007); and Mediaeval Commentaries on the "Sentences" of Peter Lombard, vol. 2. (ed.) (Brill, 2010). He edits the series Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations, and is currently working on tradition and transgression.
