  The theological question is a report (reportatio) of a theological disputation in which Autrecourt served as respondent to the objections. Although the presiding master of a disputation would usually have to be considered its real author, matters may be different here. Since it is a reportatio — i.e., a text which, unlike an ordinatio, was not subjected to later editing by the master himself — Autrecourt’s views probably appear in unadulterated form.  The question was disputed between 1336–39, and has been little studied by scholars.
