FRANCIS OF MAYRONE [FRANCISCUS DE MAYR0NIs] (d. 1325)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 939 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRANCIS OF MAYRONE [FRANCISCUS DE MAYR0NIs] (d. 1325) , scholastic philosopher, was born at Mayrone in
Provence
 . He entered the Franciscan order and subsequently went to Paris, where he was a
pupil
  of Duns Scotus. At the Sorbonne he acquired a
great
  reputation for ability in discussion, and was known as the
Doctor
  Illuminatus and Magister Acutus. He became a professor of philosophy, and took
part
  in the discussions on the nature of Universals. Following Duns Scotus, he adopted the Platonic theory of ideas, and denied that
Aristotle
  had made any contribution to metaphysical speculation. It is a curious commentary on the theories of Duns Scotus that one
pupil
 , Francis, should have taken this course, while another pupil,
Occam
 , should have used his arguments in a diametrically opposite direction and ended in extreme Nominalism.
His works were collected and published at Venice in 1520 under the
title
  Praeclarissima ac multum subtilia scripta Illuminati Doctoris Francisci de Mayronis, &c.
