Abstract	This session will contribute to the ongoing process of understanding the role that late medieval thinkers from the various mendicant traditions (in this case Dominican and Franciscan) influenced both the philosophical underpinnings of Cusanus' speculative theological thought and practical aspects of his presentation of Christian devotion and moral responsibility. In doing so it will offer a new context of mendicant theology and spirituality for evaluating Cusanus' pioneering role as a late medieval philosopher and theologian.
