Nicholas of Paris , also Nicolaus Parisiensis , Nicolas de Paris or Nicholas of Paris , was a 13th century scholastic .
He is mentioned in documents in 1254 and 1263, whereby he is attested in 1263 as a deceased Magister in Paris . Along with Robert Kilwardby , Lambert von Auxerre and Wilhelm von Auxerre, he is considered to be an important early scholasticist of the 13th century. As a philosophy teacher at the artist faculty of the Sorbonne, he taught and commented on the writings of Aristotle in the time before Thomas Aquinas and Siger von Brabant , who was also his pupil.
He was also active in linguistic research, belonged with Petrus Hispanus and Heinrich von Gent to the editors of the Syncategoremata , a linguistic literary genre of the 13th century, and thus influenced the historical development of medieval language philosophy and language logic.
