The European Research Council funded project ‘Authority and Innovation in Early Franciscan Thought (c. 1220-45) focuses on first-generation thinkers at the University of Paris, particularly Alexander of Hales and John of La Rochelle, devoting special attention to the co-authored Summa Halensis. As part of the effort to situate the early Franciscan intellectual tradition at Paris in a wider context, this conference will focus on 13th century English Franciscan thought, especially in the first half of the century. Papers will be delivered on various thinkers and themes within this tradition, with a view to highlighting the comparisons and contrasts can be drawn with the early school at Paris. The goal of the conference is to understand how ideas and texts cross-pollinated amongst the schools or were developed independently.
