Description

The Collationes in Hexaemeron are a series of unfinished lectures delivered by Bonaventure in Paris in 1273. A new translation of the Latin text appeared this June and is the focus of a ‘master class’ taught at St Bonaventure this summer. This session will build on those discussions and others in the field by allowing scholars to present their own work on this important text. The session will feature a comment by Jay Hammond (St Louis University), the text’s translator and convener of the master class. Lezlie Knox
