John Duns Scotus on Canon of the Old Testament
No position located on this map
Searched in the sources read for this figure and not found. A limit of the reading rather than a claim about the figure — a source not yet read could settle it.
THE POSITION
Not located in this pass. The medieval West used the wider canon in practice while Jerome's distinction between canonical and ecclesiastical books stayed in circulation, so the honest answer needs a text of his rather than an assumption from period practice.
WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONNo quotations. Scotus died in 1308 and the Latin is public domain, but the usable English translations are modern and in copyright, so these positions are paraphrased from standard scholarly accounts rather than reproduced.
WHAT OTHERS HOLD HERE
ABOUT THIS FIGURE
Franciscan, the Subtle Doctor. Argued for the univocity of being and for a will free in its own right rather than moved by the intellect's judgment — the point where the Franciscan schools part from Aquinas.
