We’re sorry to announce that the visit by Christopher Rowe originally planned for October has had to be cancelled (though for positive personal reasons). We are working to reschedule it!

There will be two reading groups meeting this Fall – all welcome (but please let the organisers know that you are interested):

(1) (Greek) Aristotle, Metaphysics α (1), meeting on Mondays from 12.30 to 2 p.m. beginning October 3. Organiser: christian.pfeiffer@utoronto.ca

(2) (Latin) Godfrey of Fontaines, Quodlibet XV, q. 4: ‘Utrum dicere quod non potest esse meritum nisi idem et secundum idem primo et per se et immediate moveat seipsum vel reducat se in actum, sit erroneum’, meeting Tuesdays, 3:15-5:00pm from September 27 to November 29. Organiser: martin.pickave@utoronto.ca
