It has long been known that the early fourteenth century was one of the most distinguished periods in the history of the University of Oxford. For medieval Oxford it was the intellectual high point, excelling briefly (in the 1330s) even Paris in the areas of physics and theology. One has only to recall the names of William of Ockham, Walter Burley, and Thomas Bradwardine to be reminded of some of the leaders of that academic productivity. In fact, our view of what was happening educationally and intellectually at Oxford in that period has rested primarily on the most prominent names of theologians and natural philosophers, and a limited number of their works as well.
