Search

This paper presents new results regarding six Arts Masters of the Late Middle Ages. First of all, a new search target for the lost work Logica of Thomas of Cleves is suggested: a question commentary on Peter of Spain should be searched for. Second, recent research has shown that John of Hokelem is a prolific author: further findings are added here. A third notable magister artium Parisiensis of the late 14th century is Christian of Ackoy: in addition to his known works, some new findings are discussed as possible or even probable works by him. Finally, the bibliography of an important magister artium Pragensis, Helmold of Salzwedel, as well as that of two Viennese Arts Masters, Conrad Seglauer and John Gossolt, is improved. In this way, the paper offers new insights into the manuscript tradition of late medieval philosophy and provides some corrections to the standard literature (C. H. Lohr, M. Markowski, and others). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the works of late medieval philosopher Nicholas Theoderici, better known as Nicholas of Amsterdam. After providing a brief sketch of Nicholas' education and career, which culminated in his service as dean of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Rostock, Germany, the author surveys extant manuscripts of Nicholas' writings held at several libraries in Europe, including in Berlin, Germany, Copenhagen, Denmark, and Munich, Germany. Topics discussed include logic, natural philosophy, and metaphysics.

An interview with the Canadian historian of philosophy Claude Panaccio is presented. Topics of discussion include Panaccio's work on the thought of medieval philosopher and theologian William of Ockham, medieval semantics and theory of knowledge, and the question whether Ockham and other medieval philosophers subscribed to the ideas of externalism.
