Medieval Studies
Professor
Williman's Latin Page
As project director
of several research and curriculum development grants, Professor Williman
has brought a third of a million NEH dollars to the campus, in addition
to fellowship and publication grants for himself. His research specialty
is the discovery and processing of the administrative record of the papal
court at Avignon, 1314-1417, especially from the financial office, the Camera
Apostolica. One branch of this research leads to the history of Latin manuscript
books and libraries, another to the development of the prototypical modern
state administration. His teaching specialties are Latin language and medieval
Latin literature; history of European law; paleography and diplomatics;
codicology and library history.
