Adam Wodeham

For more detail, see the SEP article on Wodeham.

Born 1295
Entered the Franciscan studium in London (?) 'at an early age'.
1317-1321 studied under Walter Chatton
1320–1324 studied under William of Ockham, possibly at London^[1]. Wodeham collaborated with Ockham on the Summa logicae, editing it and preparing it for publication. He may also have written the 51st chapter of Part I^[2].
Sometime in the 1320s lectured on the Sentences of Peter Lombard at the London convent (?). Although his earliest lecture notes (Lectura prima) have not survived, but he may have reused parts of them when he lectured at Norwich (see below).
1324 after Ockham left for Avignon in the summer of 1324, Wodeham was sent to Oxford to complete his studies.
1328–1329 attended the sentential lectures of Richard FitzRalph
1329-32 sometime in the late 1320s lectured at the provincial school in Norwich, a work now known as the Lectura secunda.
1332-34 delivered the Oxford lectures (known as the Ordinatio Oxoniensis)
1339 travelled to Basel
1348–49 survived the plague
1358 died at the Franciscan convent at Babwell

↑ The London hypothesis is not entirely certain. Courtenay (1990) writes "It was Father [Gedeon] Gal's convincing hypothesis that the close textual interrelation of Chatton's Reportatio, Ockham's Quodlibeta and revision of his Scriptum, and the personal involvement of Adam Wodeham meant that all three had to be in the same place when those works were composed, and the references to London in Ockham's Summa logicae (part III-3 c.45) suggested a London setting". Since Chatton's Reportatio was written in 1322-1323, or possibly 1321-1323, it seems certain that he, Ockham and Wodeham were in the same place at that time. However, the hypothesis that the place was London is based only on the presumed non-Oxford location of Chatton's Reportatio and on Ockham's use of London as an example in the Summa Logicae.
