Abstract	One of the ongoing concerns in Cusanus scholarship is to better understand the intellectual context of the work and writings of Cusanus. This session will explore and bring to light new sources represented by two contemporaries of Cusanus, John Wenck and Thomas Livingston, which help illuminate the varied debates and discussions found in the writings of Cusanus.
