Zur Pariser Philosophie des Spätmittelalters und ihrer zeitgenössischen Rezeption

This study based on manuscripts uncovers a network of Parisian Masters of Arts of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, especially in the period covered by the missing fifth Register of the English Nation of the Parisian Arts Faculty (1383-1392). Outstanding masters are Henry of Oy (not to be confused with Henry of Oyta), Christian of Paris, John of Hokelem, James of Yvia (not ‘Yman’), John of Paris and others. The life and work of John of Hokelem are critically studied here for the first time. The dominating figure is, however, Marsilius of Inghen with his treatises on the Parva logicalia, especially the Suppositiones and the Consequentiae. Perhaps the list of works by Marsilius is not yet complete (he may have also composed sets of questions on his treatises). Among the most important of the many topics is the semantics of terms like white, is and being. Among the wealth of interesting details are testimonies to Thomas of Cleve’s missing Logic, early occurrences of the names terministae vel singularistae and universalistae for nominalistic and realistic thinkers, respectively, as well as quotations of, e.g., Nicholas Oresme.
