Note that Simon of Faversham has been invoked by those who have tried to explain why a work apparently written by Duns Scotus (questions on Aristotle 's <i>De Interpretatione</i>) in the 1290 's, contains so much knowledge of questions such as these, when he was not in Paris until the 1300 's. It has been supposed that Simon was the connection, having taught in Paris in the 1280 's and having brought back modist doctrine and material to Oxford in the 1290 's. | Note that Simon of Faversham has been invoked by those who have tried to explain why a work apparently written by Duns Scotus (questions on Aristotle 's <i>De Interpretatione</i>) in the 1290 's, contains so much knowledge of questions such as these, when he was not in Paris until the 1300 's.
