Henry of Ghent, who taught initially in the Faculty of Arts in Paris before 1276 and subsequently in the Faculty of Theology in Paris from 1276 until his death in 1293, was an important and influential thinker. His major two works, namely his fifteen Quodlibeta and his Quaestiones Ordinariae Summa, along with his previously unedited works, are being edited in the Ancient and Medieval Philosphy Series -2- Henrici de Gandavo Opera omnia.

Launched in the 1970s by Dr. Raymond Macken, who served as the first general coordinator, the series is now coordinated by Prof. Gordon A. Wilson, the University of North Carolina at Asheville, USA.
