Donnellan Lectures

The lectures were originally given under the auspices of the School of Hebrew, Biblical and Theological Studies. But since 1987 they have been run on a triennial basis by the Department of Philosophy and are no longer theological in nature. They were endowed from the estate of Anne Donnellan.
