(23-Aug-2006).
After a long delay, on the e-mail page, I added Peter Adamson, Asad Q. Ahmed, Josh Blander, Luciana Cuppo, Jeffrey Hause, Benjamin Hill, Bettina Maria Kreissl, Achim Kuch, Silvia Magnavacca, Claudiu Mesaros, Piero Morpurgo, Ana Palanciuc, Mohammad Saeedimehr, Sara L.

On the Links page, added links to "Mentalcode: Latin," the online version of Olaf Pluta's "Abbreviationes" project, and Pekka Kärkkäinen's "Medieval Psychological Sources on the Internet." It is with regret that I have removed the "Guestbook" from this site. The script file that ran the guestbook had been hacked and was being used for sending out spammail. (17-Jun-2006).

On the "Bulletin Board Information Page," I added an information box at the top to explain how to avoid an error message several users reported getting, which effectively prevented them from using the Forums. (8-Feb-2005).
On the e-mail list, added Ian Logan and Babatunde Taylor. (27-Jan-2005).

Kenyon of two of Boethius's theological tractates: On the Holy Trinity and Whether Father, Son and Holy Ghost are Predicated of the Trinity in Reference to Substance. Also on the Downloads page, I removed some old text explaining how to use Adobe PDF format. The format is now familiar enough that the explanation just looked quaint!

On the e-mail list, added Richard Jackson, Christoph Kann, Catherine König-Pralong, Cathy Read, Wolfgang Villarreal and an alternative e-mail address for Gyula Klima, and updated the information for Robert Andrews and Juan Pablo Barros.

Fixed the Guestbook page so that the link that promises to allow you to sign the guest book now actually does so! Also, I fixed some internal links that were referring people to an older version of the Guestbook, where all sorts of spurious things were being posted. I have copied the legitimate entries on the old Guesbook to the current Guestbook page. (9-Nov-2004)

On the "Add Me to the E-Mail List" form, I have installed a new form-handling utility. Several people have recently indicated to me that they have had difficulty getting the old system to work. The new system requires people to fill in all fields except the "Comments" field in the form (people have routinely been leaving out important information), and will send an e-mail copy of the submitted information both to me and to the e-mail address entered into the form. (1-Jun-2004)

On the e-mail list, added David Westling. (26-May-2004)

On the "Links" page, updated the information Rega Wood's "Richard Rufus of Cornwall Project," including a new web address. (24-May-2004)
Because of occasional abuse of the guestbook, I have installed a new Guestbook program. The new Guestbook does not display your e-mail addresses (although you must provide one to post anything), and all entries will have to be reviewed and "approved" before they actually appear in the Guestbook. This installation also involved updating links in the other main pages throughout the site. For continuity, I have kept the previous Guestbook entries, so you can still read them, although I deleted all e-mail addresses to help protect you from unsolicited e-mail; I deleted a few entires that I found inappropriate. (23-May-2004)
On the e-mail list, updated the inforamtion for Peter King. (5-Feb-2004)
On the e-mail list, added Atucha Iñigo, Sebastian Lalla, Gregory LaNave, Marcello Landi, Steven J. Livesey, David Reisman, and Vasileios Syros, updated the information for Russell L. Friedman, Randall Herz, Gail B. Mitchell, and "activated" the address for Claude Panaccio. (29-Jan-2004)

Hochschild, Peter King, and Volker Leppin. On the "Links" page, added Christophe Grellard's Nicholas of Autrecourt page (in French). (13-Nov-2003)
On the e-mail list, removed Bernd Goebel, who was concerned about the potential for spammers' abuse of this list. Although I am trying to minimize this problem, I am happy to remove anyone who wishes to be removed. (If your e-mail address isn't listed, there's no way for spammers to get it — at least not from this site!) (19-Aug-2003)
On the e-mail list, added Giovanni Festini, Mary Gerard, Victor Kotusenko, Ernesto Sergio Mainoldi, Karen Napoli, and Claude Panaccio, and updated the entries for Peter Eardley, Richard Lee, Neil Lewis, Rafael Mora-Martin, Lloyd A. Newton, Bernadette Preben-Hansen, Andrea A. Robiglio, and Irene Zavattero. On the "Links" page, added a link to the Society for Medieval Logic and Metaphysics, and updated the links for the "Philosophia Medii Aevi" website and the Peter Auriol Homepage. On the Downloads page, added an article by Paul Vincent Spade and Stephen Menn, "A Note on the Title of Walter Burley's On the Purity of the Art of Logic," plus three contributions authored or edited by John Catan: (a) his article "Recollection and Posterior Analytics II, 19," (b) a commentary on the Posterior Analytics by the late James Weisheipl, and (c) a Reportatio compiled by students from a course taught by Joseph Owens at the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies in 1956–57, entitled The Essential and Accidental Character of Being in St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Historical Controversy Surrounding the Problem of the Real Distinction. Behind the scenes on the Guestbook page, I fixed a post from July 25, 2003, that was automatically redirecting viewers to another website entirely, and I reconfigured the guestbook utility to make this kind of cyber-vandalism somewhat more difficult. (2-Aug-2003)
On the e-mail list, added Ray Jones, Alain Galonnier, José Angel Garcia Cuadrado, and Fergus Kerr, and updated the information on Cristian Ducu and Marco Forlivesi. On the "Links" page, added a link to the series Dallas Medieval Texts & Translations. (20-May-2003)
On the e-mail list, added Susan Brower-Toland, Fulvio Di Blasi, Andrew Colin Gow, Lloyd A. Newton, Martin Stone, and Michael Tavuzzi, and updated the entries for Hubert Hubien, Angelo Pellegrini, and Sajjad Rizvi. Note: Beginning with this update, I am entering all e-mail addresses posted on the e-mail list, both "active link" entries and "non-active link" entries, in a Javascript encoded format that should discourage web "robots" that scour the Internet looking for e-mail addresses in order to send you "spam" e-mail. This is not foolproof, but it should help. Provided Javascript is enabled on your web browser (it is on all recent browsers, unless you have deliberately turned it off), the behind-the-scenes coding is transparent to the user; the page will appear almost exactly the way it always has. As time permits, I will gradually convert previously entered addresses over to this new coding. (15-Feb-2003)
On the "Downloads" page, added my translation of William of Ockham's Summa logicae III.3.46 (= "De insolubilibus"). (27-Dec-2002)

On the "Links" page, added a link to Massimo Parodi's on-line provisional edition of John of Mirecourt's Commentary on the Sentences, Book I.

Reconfigured the "Guestbook" page. Cyber vandals had been posting objectionable messages on the previous Guestbook. The new system will allow me easily to delete inappropriate postings, and to ban their posters from posting again. Otherwise, the system should pose no obstacles to users. In addition, the new version of the Guestbook includes a handy "Search" feature. All (legitimate) entries to the old Guestbook have been copied to the new one, so that viewers can see the complete list. Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties with the new system. (28-Dec-2000)
On the "Downloads" page, added a paper of my own, "Why Don't Mediaeval Logicians Ever Tell Us What They're Doing? Or, What Is This, A Conspiracy?," and a paper by Nathan Basik, "The Guilt of Boethius." (23-Dec-2000)

Podkonski (Podkoński, if your browser can display it correctly). (12-April-2000)
Hmmm. The replacement page for explaining the inscriptions in the "Supposition Dragon's" tail doesn't seem to work at all! (It did right before I uploaded it!) So for the present, we'll revert to the old system.) (18-March-2000)
Replaced the page explaining the inscriptions in the "Supposition Dragon's" tail. (See "The Dragon's Tail Explained!") The earlier page there had explanations that I thought were just too hard to see clearly. The new page should be clearer, but does require that your browser be able to handle "frames." (Any recent browser should work fine.) On the Home page, I added at the bottom a picture of Isidore of Seville, the patron saint of computers, computer users and the Internet. I thought it was high time he find a place here. (May he bless this site and all who use it!) On the e-mail list, added James C. Doig, and updated the entry for David Berger. (18-March-2000)
On the e-mail list, added Edmund Brumfitt, Gregor Schwarb, Luis Vega Reñon, and Krzysztof Wojcieczek.

Added a "majordomo" utility, to inform subscribers of updates to the Forum page. (The new Forum software is not compatible with the service I was using earlier. But that service still works for informing you of updates to this page.) Both registered and non-registered users of the Forum page may subscribe to this majordomo utility. For details, please see the instructions above. (13-February-2000)
On the "Downloads" page, removed the links to the self-extracting "Zip" or "Stuffit" files of "The Course in the Box," and added an "interim" Adobe PDF file containing Version 2.0. This can be viewed or downloaded in the usual way for PDF files. Note that this is an interim version only, until Version 3.0 is ready. Several people had been reporting difficulties with trying to get the Zip or Stuffit files. (7-February-2000)
On the e-mail list, corrected the address for Sharon Kaye, and added Marco Arosio, David Berger, Alexey Boiko, Ane Bysted, Franco De Capitani, Marek Gensler, James Ginther, Adam K.

Installed an entirely new Bulletin Board system, powered by Ultimate Bulletin Board software. All "real" messages from the old system are transferred to the new system. The old "Forum" page is now deactivated (although it is still visible). I will update internal links throughout the system as soon as I can. (23-Jan-2000)
On the e-mail list, added Benoît Beyer de Ryke, Creighton Rosental, and Tony Street, and updated the information for C. H. J. M. Kneepkens, Bernadette Preben-Hansen. (4-Jan-00)

On the "Links" page, added a link to Fabienne Pironet's page containing a complete transcription of and other information on William Heytesbury's Sophismata. (28-Nov-99)
On the e-mail list, updated the information for Russell Friedman and Calvin Normore, and added Debernardi Massimo and Samuele Sangalli. On the "Links" page, updatted the links for Gyula Klima's homepage and Robert Pasnau's homepage. (2-Nov-99)
On the e-mail list, updated the information for Gyula Klima and for Robert Pasnau, and added Luciano Cova and Paul Mayrhuber. On the Home page, added a notification of the StudyWeb "Academic Excellence Award," which this site won on October 16, 1999. (30-Oct-99)
On the e-mail list, updated the information for Francesco Romano. (3-Oct-99)
On the e-mail list, updated the information for Kevin Guilfoy. (15-Sep-99)

On the "Downloads" page, I once again updated my "The Warp and Woof of Metaphysics" (see the entries below for 27-Jul-99 and 19-Aug-99), to correct several pesky typographical errors sent to me by Charles Bolyard. If for any reason anyone still wants the 19-Aug-99 version, you can get it here. (10-Sep-99)
On the e-mail list, added Charles Bolyard and updated the entry for Giorgio Pini. On the "Links" page, added a link to Terence Parsons' Home Page, which in turn contains a link to a page of downloadable translations (in Adobe PDF format) of several texts in mediaeval semantics. (30-Aug-99)
On the e-mail list, updated the entry for Neil Lewis. (27-Aug-99)
On the "Downloads" page, fixed the link to the translation of Richard of St. Victor's On The Trinity, Book One. (It was pointing to "The Warp and Woof of Metaphysics" instead.) Also on the "Downloads" page, the links to Adobe PDF files now open in a new window rather than in a frame. (This allows for a cleaner view of the text.) On the e-mail list, updated the address for Shawn Floyd, added Toivo J. Holopainen, and moved from Harald Berger into proper alphabetical order. On the "Home Page," I removed the remark at the top about what to do if you reached this site from its old location at phil.indiana.edu. (That location has been moved to a new machine, and we took the opportunity to purge a lot of out-of-date files.) I also removed the "News Flash" notice about the page of explanations for the inscriptions in the "supposition dragon's" tail, since that's no longer news. (25-Aug-99)
On the "Downloads" page, posted an updated version of my "The Warp and Woof of Metaphysics" (originally posted 27-July-99). The original version had no "version number," but we'll retroactively call it "Version 1.0." The new version is then "Version 1.1." It differs from the original only insofar as I have fixed one tiny typographical error.If anyone has downloaded the original version and wants to know exactly what the difference is to see whether it's worth bothering to download it again, here it is: It's on p. 23, in the reference to Aristotle. The superscript '31' you find on that page should be a superscript 'b' followed by a lower-case '31'. That's all it is. Also on the "Downloads" page, posted two new translations by students or Rega Wood: Richard of St. Victor, On the Trinity, Book One (Jonathan Houser, trans.), and Richard Rufus, Lectura Oxoniensis in Sent., Book I, Distinction 42 (Astrid Storm, trans.) (19-Aug-99)
Added Harald Berger and Scott Matthews to the e-mail list. (30-Jul-99)
Added Costante Marabelli to the e-mail list. On the "Downloads" page, added a paper "The Warp and Woof of Metaphysics: How to Get Started on Some Big Themes" (Adobe PDF format, 178,731 bytes). Revised the entire "Downloads" page to eliminate the clumsy mechanism for downloading and then changing the extension for Adobe PDF files. Also, on the "Downloads" page, announced a forthcoming new version (Version 3.0), revised, updted and more "Web-friendly," of my A Survey of Mediaeval Philosophy ("The Course in the Box"). (27-Jul-99)
Corrected the spelling of Philip W. Rosemann's name on the e-mail list. (16-Jul-99)
Added Marco Forlivesi, Bernd Goebel, Marek Peplinski and Phillip W. Rosemann to the e-mail list. On the same e-mail list, made the entries for Scott MacDonald and Olaf Pluta "active" links (that is, just click to send an e-mail message), and added to Olaf Pluta's entry a reference (and link) to his Abbreviationes Web page. On the "Links" page, removed the link to "The Muslim Scholars Page," which seems to be no longer in operation, corrected the link to Bernt Karasch's "Critical Edition Typesetter" site, and added a link to the Sadra Islamic Philosophy Research Institute Removed several items from the "Forum" page that were no longer current — in particular, notices regarding the Medieval Academy of America's meeting at Georgetown (held in April of this year) and about the World Congress of Mulla Sadra (held in Tehran in May). (10-Jul-99)
Added Fabrizio Amerini and Riccardo Quinto to the e-mail list. (20-Jun-99)
In response to a suggestion, I've added a page to explain the inscriptions on the tail of the "Supposition Dragon." You can get to it from the Home Page or from the "Note on the 'Supposition Dragon'" page. Note: In order to view this correctly, you will need to have JavaScript enabled on your browser, and be able to view PNG image files. (Recent versions of both Internet Explorer and Netscape will work fine, unless you've disabled something.) (16-Jun-99)

Added Rémi Brague and Concetto Martello to the e-mail list. Updated information on André Goddu on the e-mail list. Removed several "notes" on the e-mail page about "non-standard" HTML characters that wouldn't appear correctly on text-only browsers. (I decided they were probably no longer needed, since such browsers have virtually disappeared. If you are using one, by all means let me know.) Removed three messages from the "Forum" page, concerning conferences that have already occurred. Also removed one message I thought was inappropriate for the purpose of the page. (As I state on the "Forum" page, I reserve the right to do that.) (13-Apr-99)
Added Liam O Comain and Anthony Willing to the e-mail list. (7-April-99)
Removed the little "New" graphic from the Table of Contents entry "Log of updates to this site" on the Homepage.(It had been there since August of 1998, so it hardly counts as "new" any more.) Corrected e-mail addresses for Joel Biard, Bernadette Preben-Hansen, and Martin Tweedale, and added entries for Francesco Romano and Paul Thom on the e-mail list. Updated the link to the Thomas Aquinas Webpage (Utrecht) on the "Links" page. (17-Mar-99)

I also fixed a few typos on the "Links" page, and changed some of the HTML code so that following a link will close any frames you might be viewing in my site. (I figure that if you want to follow a link, you want to leave my site, and so don't want my frames left in view at the top and the left. You can always get back to my site if you want to by clicking the "Back" button on your browser. (11-Feb-99)

Corrected the e-mail address for Jörg Alejandro Tellkamp (see the entry for 24-Aug-98). I also added a line to the form on the "Add Me to the E-mail List" page, so you can tell me explicitly where you would like your e-mail sent. (Previously, I was getting it from the header of the "mailto:" message sent to me when you submit the form. But that method doesn't always give the right results.) (28-Aug-98)
Added Sharon Kaye and Gail B. Mitchell to the e-mail page. (27-Aug-98)
Fixed the URL-minder code in the second fill-in form on this page. (I had entered it incorrectly.) If you've previously registered to be notified of changes in the Guestbook or the Forum Page, you should reregister now.
