Francis Meyronnes major work was his commentary on Sententiae. Currently, the final version of Book 1 of the Sententiae, also called Conflatus, shows a very elaborate Prologue. In this Prologue are twenty-one quaestiones, which have made a huge impression on later commentaries on the Sentences. A second famous work by Meyronnes are his Quodlibeta, which in Latin means, “Questions on whatever you like”. This presented the opportunity for students in medieval universities to question and test their teachers. Some of Francis Meyronnes’ other works include: his dispute over Trinity with Pierre Roger, lectures on the ars vetus and the physics, a treatise on the trancendentals, a large number of sermons, a treatise on intuitive cognition, and other various political treatises.

Famous quotes containing the word writings:

    A people’s literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can.
    Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)

    An able reader often discovers in other people’s writings perfections beyond those that the author put in or perceived, and lends them richer meanings and aspects.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    For character, to prepare for the inevitable I recommend selections from [Ralph Waldo] Emerson. His writings have done for me far more than all other reading.
