 While in Avignon, Ockham stayed at the Franciscan convent there. It has sometimes been suggested that he was effectively under “house arrest,” but this seems an exaggeration. On the contrary, he appears to have been free to do more or less as he pleased, although of course he did have to be “on hand” in case the investigating commission wanted to question him about his writings. The investigation must not have demanded much of Ockham’s own time, since he was able to work on a number of other projects while he was in Avignon, including finishing his last major theological work, the Quodlibets. It should be pointed out that, although there were some stern pronouncements that came out of the investigation of Ockham, his views were never officially condemned as heretical.
