Martinus Anglicus

Martin Anglicus (fl 1335 to 1370) was a philosopher , theologian and logician .

Martin Anglicus is the author of the Logic Treatises De Obligationibus and De Consequentiis and possibly Obiectiones consequentiarum. All three are preserved in a Viennese manuscript (Austrian National Library Ms 4698, most of which was written in Prague ). There are also references to another treatise De insolubilibus . A tract De Suppositione, which is contained in fragments in the Viennese manuscript (completely in a manuscript in the Mainz City Library), is probably also by him.

Sometimes he is identified with Martin Bilond, who is recorded in Prague in 1369 (associated with this is a Martinus Blone who was admitted to the bachelor's degree in Prague in 1389 and is possibly identical to Bilond). He used to be identified with Martin von Alnwick (died 1336), a Franciscan and lecturer of theology in Oxford (LM de Rijk et al.), But in the De Obligationibus of Martinus Anglicus the knowledge of the Obligationes of Roger Swyneshed can be proven, which was not made until 1330 Created by 1335. The De Consequentiis by Martin Anglicus are also dated between 1350 and 1360 and originated before the Obligationes.
