The problem and the context of the question of sufficientia praedicamentorum in Jerome of Prague and Robert Alyngton as the Oxford source of Jerome's answer.
Abstract
The article deals with the problematic of the division of being into categories, the highest genera, as proposed by Jerome of Prague in his quaestio On harmony of sensory perceptible world. It puts his position into the context of the discussion on this subject matter in the older European thought.
In this frame, the paper shows some of the points of Jerome's doctrine on the created world, for example the real logic, that could be influenced by the teaching of John Wyclif as well as some points that Jerome treated in another way and which seems to be influenced by other sources. It is also the case of Jerome's solution of the question of the sufficiency of categories which source was found in the texts of Walter Burley and Robert Alyngton (+ 1398).
Jerome apparently drawn from the second mentioned author, who followed the basics of Wyclif's philosophical realism on the one hand, but changed his philosophical system significantly on the other. A new question for the future research was opened, i.e. to which extent was the philosophical thought of the beginning of the Bohemian Reformation influenced by Wyclif's followers from Oxford, the so-called younger Oxford realist.
The textual analysis of the treatises by Jerome and Alyngton contributed, amongst other, to the support of the hypothesis that the so-called "Collecta de probationibus propositionum" are connected with Jerome of Prague, because they contain schemes and illustrations which correspond to passages in texts of which Jerome of Prague is indisputably the author.
