This book 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 their different viewpoints, clarifying that Giles defended Aristotelianism rather than Bernard's skepticism. The volume also includes records of the trial against Nicholas and condemned articles, making it a valuable resource for understanding 14th-century thought.
