The condemnations of 1277 in Oxford were a prohibition enacted in March 1277 against the teaching of 30 propositions in theology, logic and metaphysics enacted by Robert Kilwardby, archbishop of Canterbury, in March 1277. The prohibition was a reaction against the influence of Aristotelian philosophy that had grown as a result of the discovery in the 12th century Latin West of new Aristotelian texts, and through the commentaries on Aristotle by the 12th-century Muslim philosopher Averroes.
