Abstract
In this paper, we prove a finite dimensional approximation scheme for the Wiener measure on closed Riemannian manifolds, establishing a generalization for L1-functionals, of the approach followed by Andersson and Driver on [1]. We follow a new approach motived by the categorical concept of colimit.
