Thomas Wylton On the "Metaphysics": Some New Evidence

Thomas Wylton is one of the most significative figures active at the University of Paris during the first decades of the 14th century. The paper presents new evidence on his commentary on Aristotle's "Metaphysics", which left important traces on the metaphysical teaching imparted in Erfurt'schools in the 14th and early 15th century. An edition of some relevant passages, taken from the Metaphysics commentary of Hermann of Winterswijk (mid-14th century, Erfurt) and from an Erfurtian school collection, is provided.
