PREFACE
Robert Grosseteste
New Perspectives on his Thought and Scholarship
The astonishing number and variety of academic publications
dedicated to Robert Grosseteste, in particular during the past ten or
fifteen years, gave rise to the idea that to bring together a number
of scholars for a colloquium on the life, thought and writings of
Grosseteste would be a timely thing. The suggestion was put by the
present writer to Sir Richard Southern, who decided to approach
the Warburg lnstitute. Prof essor J
.B.
Tra pp willingly agreed that
the Institute might act as host, by inscribing the project in its regu-
lar series of May colloquia. A number of the leading editors and
students of Grosseteste quickly volunteered their support, and from
the moment the colloquium was opened, with an address by Sir
Richard, on
28
May
1987,
the Warburg did everything possible to
provide the perfect academic and administsrativ e setting for what
proved in the eyes of its numerous participants to be a lively and
memorable event. The occasion lent the opportunity to a number of
young scholars to set forth the results of their research; that,
indeed, had been a large part of its purpose from the start.
The present volume differs in a number of ways from the pro-
gramme of the colloquium. Notable additions have been made. Pro-
fessor
E.B.
King, who was unable to attend, kindly agreed to have
his planned contribution printed. Mrs Jennifer Moreton, who did
attend, was invited to contribute a paper for publication, on the
subject of her doctoral research. Mr Philipp Rosemann, who has
edited the
Tabula
of Grosseteste, was approached for a compendious
study of that work, and readily agreed. The editor also has made
several contributions to the published volume. Fr Servus Gieben
acceeded generously to the editor's request to supply a bibliography
for the volume, th us bringing up to date (to
1991)
his scholarly
Bibliographia universa Roberti Grosseteste ab an. 1473 ad an. 1969.
