Abstract | This session considers the current state of scholarship in Marsilian studies. Nederman considers the development of the scholarship regarding Marsilius since the last major conference on his thought in Padua in the late 1970s. It surveys the major areas of intellectual change and progress during the succeeding 25 years and promises for future scholarship. The second lecture (Brett) focuses on textual and interpretational problems of the Defensor pacis based on her current research and new translation of this celebrated text. Godthardt deals with the little researched issue of Marsilius' actual political career. |
