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.
