The via Moderna and the Vagis Trit

The via moderna steered well clear of the teachings of dangerous even condemned figures from around the turn of the fifteenth century, notably john wickliffe and jan huss both of whom had been realists. The compatibility of the two ways with the teachings of the church was always central to the vegistrit. It was in these terms that nominalists responded to a ban on their approach handed down by the french king louis the eleventh in 14 74. According to the terms of this decree, books of the via moderna were confiscated while the works of realist author s like aquinas and scotus became required reading.
