I could find very little about this man on the site already.
Following a survey of medieval church history I learned that William of Ockham seemed to hold divine illumination by faith in high regard and even opposed the authority of the Pope.
What else do we know about him? Are there any of his writings available in English that are worth an interested layman’s time?
(Among the scholastics I plan to read Anselm, Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure themselves, God willing. Any others you would recommend to seek out to read? I know there’s Duns Scotus but he excites me less.)
