The manner in which philosophy was practised in the Middle Ages was highly variagated. Until now, historiography has largely focused on the canonical genres of commentaries and treatises. This volume is devoted to another and fundamental type of medieval philosophical practice and demonstrates that the so-called sophismatic practice and literature, largely neglected to this day, had a significant influence on scholastic philosophical thought.
