  Although many hold that FitzRalph later turned away from scholasticism (Leff 1963: 175), this point has been refuted by W. Duba (Duba 2013: 104). FitzRalph’s lectures on the Sentences have turned out to be of greater importance than might have at first been realized by some authors such as Leff. Leff saw FitzRalph’s approach as being heavily influenced by the neo-Augustinian movement deriving ultimately from Henry of Ghent. Leff’s summation of FitzRalph is rather negative, holding that FitzRalph shows an unwillingness to be deeply involved in the controversies of his time, and that he was content to “restate what his contemporaries re-formulated” (Leff 1963: 175).  This assessment, however, leaves one wondering what there was about FitzRalph’s ideas that his contemporaries such as Holcot and Wodeham, and later, Gregory of Rimini and Pierre d’Ailly, found so challenging. In fact, contrary to Leff’s assessment recent scholarship affirms that FitzRalph was one of the leading protagonists of the Oxford of his day and at a time when Oxford briefly eclipsed the University of Paris in importance.
