The article presents a critical edition and English translation of letters exchanged by Nicholas of Autrecourt, Bernard of Arezzo, and Master Giles in the 14th century. It analyzes different viewpoints and reveals that Giles defended Aristotelianism, not Bernard's skeptical beliefs. The volume also includes records of Nicholas' trial and condemned articles, making it a valuable resource for understanding 14th-century thought.
