Dissensiones Inter Viam Antiquam et Viam Modernam: An Edition of the Wrocław, bu, 6130, Milich., ii, 78, f. 1-5 Manuscript

The article discusses an anonymous, late medieval philosophical text, followed by its first critical edition that sets the main differences between via antiqua and via moderna, the two major philosophical parties of the second half of the 14th,and the 15th century. The phenomenon of the two ways originated in the quarrels between the Parisian realist and nominalist philosophers, and moved away to Central Europe through the departure of the German nation masters and students from Paris towards the newly founded Central European universities. Thus, due to its reference apparatus, discussed problems, and academic and historic context, the text appears to be included in the via moderna tradition, as an apologetical endeavour to sustain the modern cause.
