CORPVS

CHRISTIANORVM

CONTINVATIO MEDIAEVALIS

‖ Guillelmi de Conchis Opera omnia ‖

An edition of the complete works of William of Conches (Guillaume de Conches) was launched in 1988 by the late Abbot Dom Eligius Dekkers osb, founder of Corpus Christianorum. Dom Dekkers entrusted Édouard Jeauneau (1924-2019) with the care of that edition. The role of Édouard Jeauneau, as director of the project, has been to find editors for each of the various works of William and to ensure that a certain harmony of style is observed. A summary of his efforts may be found in the edition of the Glosae super Platonem (CCCM 203, pp. X-XV).

COMPLEMENTARY SERIES

A complementary series, named Supplementum, has also been planned. It will contain works which, although not William of Conches’s authentic writings, echo his thought in a significant manner. The works currently planned for the complementary series include:

  • Supplementum I: Hisdosi De anima mundi (in Timaeum 34b–36d) and Anonymi Commentum in 'O qui perpetua', ed. Andrew Hicks;

  • Supplementum II: Anonymi Summa Philosophiae, ed. Paul Edward Dutton.
