Monika Mansfeld

Monika Mansfeld is an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy and History of the University of Łódź.

She specialises in the late medieval commentaries on Aristotle’s works, her research interests ranging from the logic and metaphysics of so-called Parisian nominalism (John Buridan, Marsilius of Inghen, Albert of Saxony, and their Central European successors) to realist natural philosophy (Adam of Buckfield, Walter Burley). Her projects not only encompass doctrinal analyses of the commentaries but also involve historical studies on their manuscript tradition and the preparation of their critical editions.

Within ERC ACADEMIA, Monika currently searches through catalogues documenting the manuscript collections in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Her aim is to prepare a list of manuscripts containing records of non-theological quodlibets as preserved there.
