The Project

Digital Humanities play an increasing role in academic research today. The Gratian Encyclopedia Project aims to create a database for research in the History of Canon Law and Ethics. Gradually growing, it wants to provide researchers and scholars with biographical details on canonists, links to their sources and information on current editions.

The Editor

Stephan Hecht currently teaches as adjunct faculty for Fordham University in London after completing his doctorate in Philosophy at the University of Regensburg in 2019 and a licentiate in Canon Law at the Klaus-Mörsdorf-Institute (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität) in Munich. Focusing on the origins of Christian subjectivity and the Theology of Law in the work of Francisco Suárez SJ (1548-1617), he is particularly interested in questions on the interlink between Canon Law, its History and Theology.
