Extract

William of Sherwood (or Shyreswood) was an English logician of the thirteenth century. Little is known of his life. He possibly taught logic at Paris from about 1235 to about 1250. By 1252 he was active as master at Oxford. Between 1254 and 1258 he became treasurer of the Cathedral of Lincoln, an office he seems to have retained until his death. He was rector of Attleborough (Buckinghamshire) from about 1257 and prebendary of Aylesbury (Lincolnshire) by 1266. He died between 1266 and 1272.
