(i) Page 20. Extract from a letter of John Lutterel to a friend concerning the Beatific Vision (c. 1333–4):
Cambridge University Library, MS. li. iii. 10
[fo. 91v]
Epistola magistri Iohannis Lutterel Anglici, doctoris sacre theologie, ad quendam et curie Romane disputantem.
[fo. 94v]
…Sed michi opponitis quod nobis Anglicis frequenter hic opponunt; ‘Ecce secundum logicam respondistis; tolle, tolle, secundum theologiam responde.’ Ergo apud theologos superfluit logica? Revera non est periculosior bestia, si assit presumpcio, quam theologus sine logica. Vultis tractare questionem sine logica? Materiam queritis murum sine cemento. Audivi cum essem iuvenis quendam magnum dicentem quod theologus sine bona logica asinus esset cornutus.
(ii) Page 114. Extracts from the Questiones of Thomas Buckingham (c. 1346–50):
New College, Oxford, MS. 134
