    Cynthia,

    This is a great contribution! I hope that it comes together well for you. My only regret is that I won’t be able to participate directly.

    I could do a little post on the reception of Augustine’s account of divine memory by Henry of Ghent and Duns Scotus … that is, if there’s still room for such a topic.
