On the occasion of this 700th anniversary, the collaborators of the Opera Omnia Henrici de Gandavo - edited since 1979 by the 'De Wulf-Mansioncentrum' - organized this meeting devoted to the philosophy and theology of the Doctor Solemnis, who probably was the greatest medieval thinker of the former Low Countries.This colloquium had a twofold purpose: first, to establish a status quaestionisof the different fields of research concerning Henry's doctrines and the critical edition of his work; second, to provide a forum for specialists to exchange ideas on specific problems.The publication of the Proceedings offers an assessment of our present knowledge and opens up possibilities for further research. The Proceedingsinclude a bio-bibliography of Henry of Ghent.Thanks to the combination of the various approaches herein published, this volume constitutes an instrument that is almost indispensable for any further investigation of Henry's oeuvre.
