Garlandus Compotista

Garlandus Compotista, also known as Garland the Computist, was an early medieval logician of the eleventh-century school of Liège. Little is known of his life; the Dialectica published under his name by L. M. de Rijk is now commonly attributed to Gerlandus of Besançon (early 12th century).[1]

Works
  • Dialectica, edited by L. M. De Rijk, Assen: Van Gorcum, 1959.

gollark: I am tempted to rewrite this with a less accursedly accursed stack, but beeoids.
gollark: Testbot is in JS.
