Jan Szylling, a native of
Kraków, studied with
Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples (in
Latin,
Jacobus Faber Stapulensis) in
Paris,
France, in the first years of the 16th century. Later he was a
cathedral canon in
Kraków. When
Nominalism was revived in
western Europe at the turn of the sixteenth century, particularly thanks to
Lefèvre d'Étaples, it presently reappeared in
Kraków and began taking the upper hand there once more over
Thomism and
Scotism. It was Jan Szylling who reintroduced it to Kraków. ==See also==
