Translations (pretty rough) of documents relevant to the controversy over the Franciscan idea of poverty as a religious ideal (from which Ockham's "political" writings arose).The translated documents are as follows:

A translation of Johannes Duns Scotus, Ordinatio, II, dist. 3, pars 1, q. 5 and q. 6, 'Whether a material substance is "This" and individual through matter?', and 'Whether a material substance is individual through some positive entity, per se determining the nature to singularity?'

A translation of William of Ockham, Ordinatio, I, dist. 2, q. 6, 'Whether the universal is really outside the soul, not really distinct from the individual?'
