About this book

This Reader presents translations of key passages from the Summa Halensis. This text was collaboratively authored mostly between 1236-45 by the founding members of the Franciscan school at the University of Paris, who sought to lay down their own distinctive intellectual tradition for the first time.

Shows how early Franciscans laid the foundations for theological innovations often credited to later Franciscans.
