Jana Ilnicka gives a working paper on 'Responsiones Prosperi'

In this paper, I consider two short texts by Prosper de Regio Emilia, who compiled the manuscript Vat. Lat. 1086. These texts are unusual and difficult to fully understand unless considered alongside those from university disputations of the 13th and 14th centuries, because the style and structure of the various types of questions, and their background, along with the nature of the disputation, can all supply information that will enrich and indeed clarify the texts. The texts show how strongly Prosper was influenced by Meister Eckhart, especially on the subject of ‘relationship’.
