When John Duns Scotus arrived at the University of Paris in 1302 he came face to face with a vibrant intellectual community. Every religious order seemed to have a significant thinker active, such as Hervaus Natalis for the Dominicans and Gerard of Bologna for the Carmelites, and the secular theologians were represented by no less than Godfrey of Fontaines.
The present volume builds upon previous scholarship on Duns Scotus’ Parisian experience by investigating his interactions with his contemporaries at the university rather than on his doctrine in isolation. This new perspective is greatly enhanced by a plethora of texts edited herein for the first time, including Duns Scotus’ debate with Godfrey of Fontaines and various quaestiones by Jean de Pouilly, Gonsalvus Hispanus, and Alexander of Alessandria.
Contributors are William J. Courtenay, Stephen D. Dumont, Marina Fedeli, Wouter Goris, Hernán Guerrero Troncoso, Timothy B. Noone (†), Mikołaj Olszewski, Alessandro de Pascalis, Christian Rode, Witold Grzegorz Salamon, Chris Schabel, and Garrett R. Smith.
