Although the analysis of the texts reveals a strong dependence of Adenulf on the Summa Halensis, Thomas Aquinas and Gerard of Abbeville and a modest degree of originality, these questions represent an important source for the rising Thomism and the reception of the most prominent 13th-century figures.

Knapwell, who is mainly known for his Correctorium 'Quare' (transmitted anonymously but generally ascribed to him) and for his disputed questions on the unicity of the substantial form and on the word, is also the author of 29 short quodlibetal questions, probably discussed at Oxford, in which Aquinas's teaching is, in most cases, defended. Knapwell supports, for instance, the real distinction between essence and the act of existing as well as the doctrine of angels as individual immaterial essences. Nevertheless, the unicity of substantial form is not yet defended. This evidence suggests that Knapwell's adherence to Thomism has not been an uncritical process, but a gradual approach that was subject to evaluation. In the first part of the present contribution, the main aspects concerning Knapwell's life and works are summarized. The second part offers the first complete critical edition of Knapwell's Quodlibet.

Jacques, where he became doctor of theology before 1280. appointed provincial of the Dominican order in england in 1282, he came into conflict with the Franciscan archbishop of canterbury, John Peckham, over hothum's defense of 'thomistic' positions; most important among these controversial positions was the doctrine of the unicity of the substantial form in human beings. the present investigation shows that hothum played a leading role in the defense of 'thomism' at oxford. nonetheless, his Quodlibet, here edited for the first time, also reveals a critical attitude toward thomas aquinas and a proximity to the augustinian tradition, especially in the fields of epistemology and angelology.

My research, however, demonstrates considerable modifications in the First Book. This is evident both through internal indications in the text and the presence of external testimony to these modifications; two manuscripts from the Evidentiae contra Durandum, attributed to Durandellus, a well known Thomist critic of Durand, add five new arguments taken from "the new work" (in novo opere) which are preserved in Durand's imparted text. On the basis of this evidence this article argues that the manuscript tradition of the First Book reveals a very elaborate phase that can be considered a "second redaction".
