LECTIO

Leuven Centre for the Study of the Transmission of Texts and Ideas in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

 
LECTIO is devoted to the study of the intellectual history of pre-modern European thought. The centre has been established in 2010 at K.U.Leuven and it integrates expertise dispersed over three faculties (Arts, Theology and the Institute of Philosophy) and several research units.
