Alnwick worked with Scotus in the production of his Commentary on the Sentences (''Ordinatio''), took down one of his ''Collationes'', and compiled the long additions (''Additiones magnae'') which were meant to fill the gaps in the Ordinatio. But although Alnwick based his philosophy and theology on the fundamental starting points of Scotus's teaching, he diverged from his colleague when he disagreed.  His works include a ''Commentary on the Sentences'' (not edited). given in Paris in 1314, questions on Intelligible being (''De esse intelligible''), a ''Quodlibet'' and twenty-eight disputations (''Determinationes'', not edited) held at Bologna in 1322-3.

His works are an important witness of contemporary discussion of issues such as the [[formal distinction]], the immortality of the soul, the compatibility of faith and reason, and on the 'indivisibilism' of Henry Harclay.  They are replete with references to fourteenth-century debates.
