IAMS Inaugural Annual Lecture
The International Albertus Magnus Society held its first Annual IAMS Lecture on Friday, June 27, 2025, via Zoom. The inaugural lecture was delivered by Dr. Henryk Anzulewicz, whose decades of work editing, translating, and interpreting Albert's writings at the Albertus-Magnus- Institut in Bonn have made him one of the world's leading scholars of Albertus Magnus — a fitting choice to launch the series. His talk was titled “Albertus Magnus and His Legacy Today and Beyond: Editions, Research, Hermeneutics.” Dr. Anzulewicz delivered the lecture in German, with an English translation prepared by Bruno Tremblay and Martin Tracey displayed on screen, and the presentation was followed by a question-and-answer session conducted in both English and German, which saw significant participation from Members and other attendees and a rich, extended discussion. The lecture was not recorded, but a fuller written version may be made available on the Society's website in the near future. We thank Dr. Anzulewicz for inaugurating the series and all who took part.
