| '''John of Ripa''' was born in [[Ripatransone]] in Italy, probably in the early fourteenth century, and lectured on the Sentences of Peter Lombard in Paris in the first half of the XIV century. In Paris, where he was an acknowledged master, John came in touch with the doctrine of previous Parisian masters, he studied in depth the works of Duns Scotus, and knew the positions of the English theologians. The questions that John deals with are sometimes taken by the contemporary debate, like the question about the beatific vision, which was an highly disputed theme at the Papal court in Avignon. His production is not big quantitatively, but remarkable qualitatively. | | '''John of Ripa''' was born in [[Ripatransone]] in Italy, probably in the early fourteenth century, and lectured on the Sentences of Peter Lombard in Paris in the first half of the XIV century.
