Can the study of poetry be integrated into the scholastic system of the late medieval university? Are poetry and Aristotelianism compatible? Is there even a social need for poetic competence at this time? These questions are addressed by the Flemish theology student Nichasius de Planca in an exceptionally elaborate work written in Paris in 1297.
The previously unknown prosimetrum is edited here for the first time and analysed in terms of literary tradition. The edition is accompanied by an introduction, which examines the relationship between poetry and scholasticism in the Middle Ages.
