− | '''Radulphus Brito''' (Radulphus Reginaldi Britonis, vorübergehend fälschlich identifiziert mit: Raoul de Hotot, Raoul le Briton). | + | '''Radulphus Brito''' (Radulphus Reginaldi Britonis, vorübergehend fälschlich identifiziert mit: Raoul de Hotot, Raoul le Briton, b. c. 1270, d. c 1320), was probably born in Brittany. He was Master of arts in the university of Paris in 1296, and joined masters in theology faculty in 1311. Very few of his works are edited, although he was a prolific and apparently influential writer. He was one of a group of grammarians called the ''modistae'' or modists who flourished around Paris from about 1260 to 1310, so-called because they wrote on the mode of signifying. Their aim was to make grammar a science in Aristotle's sense, i.e. to explain it, not just to describe it. The group also included Martin of Dacia, Boethius of Dacia, Siger de Courtrai, and Thomas of Erfurt. |
