Robert Greystones on the Freedom of the Will. Selections from his Commentary on the Sentences , ed. Mark Henninger, with Robert Andrews and Jennifer Ottman, Auctores Britannici Medii Aevi, 28 (Oxford: Oxford University Press for The British Academy, 2017)

Abstract This chapter focuses on two volumes of theological questions by the Benedictine Robert Greystones. Greystones studied theology at Oxford in the 1310s and 1320s, and his numerous citations of Oxford and Parisian contemporaries provide a major window onto the intellectual life of those universities in that period, especially Oxford. Although Greystones was not cited by contemporaries at Oxford, he did obtain brief appointments as head of two Benedictine priories in the diocese of Durham and as subprior at Durham. The editors have chosen to edit Greystones’ work according to specific philosophical problems. The six questions in the volume on the freedom of the will are all taken from Greystones’ commentary on the Sentences. Meanwhile, the topic of the second volume of questions is certainty and scepticism.
