Abstract

The life of Marsiglio de Padua is a considerable problem in itself. Opinions concerning the details of his birth, activity, and death vary widely. Each scholar that writes on the subject refutes in some way all those that precede him. Scholz and Haller seem almost to go out of their way to contradict each other. The English and American scholars are slightly more polite to each other than their German colleagues, but they, too, disagree widely. I have tried to present the cases of the various scholars and to determine as much as possible the most plausible solution to the various problems.
