 Unfortunately Alyngton does not define being; yet, what he says about (1) the subject of the Categories (the real categorial being which can be signified by simple expressions, namely terms (In Cat., cap. de numero et sufficientia praedicamentorum , p. 252), and (2) analogy (In Cat., cap. de aequivocis, ms. London, Lambeth Palace 393, fol. 70r–v) seems to entail that, like Wyclif, he also thinks of being as a sort of an extramental reality proper to everything (God and creatures; substances and accidents; universal and individual items; things, collections of things, and states of affairs) according to different modes and degrees.
