ABSTRACT

Scott Dixon, Matthew Bingham, and Harrison Perkins also made valued contributions. There was a strong comparative aspect to the work, as each session began with Verhaart’s presentation of reformed sources, followed by Rester’s presentation of Catholic, and specifically Franciscan scholastic transcriptions and translations. With regard to spelling conventions in the Latin texts, our general rule has been to make editorial changes for the sake of clarity in those cases where early modern writers and printers were more or less inconsistent. This has meant that the punctuation has been adapted to modern usage where the original punctuation might impede comprehension. Greek and Hebrew quotations can be found in the original alphabet in the Latin text and in transcription with translation in the English version.
