In preparation for the projected critical edition of Ockham’s Opera Philosophica et Theologica, Philotheus Boehner, OFM, described the extant manuscripts and discussed the authenticity and date of composition of Ockham’s writings. He also studied and illustrated Ockham’s teaching on logic, metaphysics, and political theories. Eligius Buytaert, OFM, Boehner’s successor and disciple collected, regrouped, and indexed 24 articles in this volume, which is an indispensable introduction to the study of William of Ockham.

Ockham’s two great principles were the Principle of divine Omnipotence – and the Principle of Parsimony – Plurality is never to be posited without necessity. The Tractatus takes all of Ockham’s views and explains them as related to, or consequences of, the two principles – 167 from the Principle of Divine Omnipotence, 81 from the Principle of Parsimony.

In his early studies Flood focused on the history of the brotherhood with special emphasis on the development of the Early Rule. Eventually, the social structures of early Franciscan life led to the economics of the early Franciscan movement and the importance of work in the life of Francis and his companions. Told from the vantage point of a historian, Flood leads the reader through his analysis of the early movement.
