Thomas of Oxford. a fourteenth-century Cistercian scholar (1/2)
This fourteenth-century notebook is now preserved in the British Library (Royal MS 8A XVIII). It includes extracts from Aristotle, tracts on philosophy, arithmetic and canon law. A section on Cistercian administration is directed specifically at a Lincolnshire abbey, and describes procedures for visitation, rules for accepting and resigning from the abbacy and other such matters. Thomas’s notes on mathematics may have been taken from the lectures of the Doctor Profundus, Thomas Bradwardine. |
