For generations, early Franciscan thought has been widely regarded
as unoriginal: a mere attempt to systematize the longstanding
intellectual tradition of Augustine in the face of the rising
popularity of Aristotle. This volume brings together leading
scholars in the field to undertake a major study of the sources and
context of the so-called Summa Halensis (1236-45), which was
collaboratively authored by the founding members of the Franciscan
school at Paris, above all, Alexander of Hales, and John of La
Rochelle, in an effort to lay down the Franciscan intellectual
tradition or the first time. The contributions will highlight that
this tradition, far from unoriginal, laid the groundwork for later
Franciscan thought, which is often regarded as formative for modern
thought. Furthermore, the volume shows the role this Summa played
in the development of the burgeoning field of systematic theology,
which has its origins in the young university of Paris. This is a
crucial and groundbreaking study for those with interests in the
history of western thought and theology specifically.
