All are welcome at a series of workshops sponsored by the European Research Council funded project, ‘Authority and Innovation in Early Franciscan thought (c. 1220-45)’, which is directed by Dr Lydia Schumacher, Senior Lecturer at King’s College London and Visiting Fellow at All Souls College. The workshops will explore in depth the Summa Halensis, a collaboratively authored text by early Franciscan scholars, which laid down their intellectual tradition for the first time.

To register, please contact Tom J. Savage at least a week in advance at thomas.savage@kcl.ac.uk. Lunch will be provided to workshop participants on a first-come, first-served basis, so register early!
