RESEARCH IN PROGRESS
Working on an edition and translation of Peter of Verona s Summa contra hereticos.
Working with Margaret Cormack of the College of Charleston to create a transnational
database of Medieval Sanctity, preliminary project is completed and we have received much
funding. I have already had research results from this project in my study of Peter of Verona
and Thomas Becket, and I anticipate a new study on mendicant miracles in the near future.
Transcribing and editing four 14th and 15th century lives of Peter of Verona, anticipate
completion in late 2012.
