![ADAM DE BOUCHERMEFORT Oxford to 1500’, Vol. I, p. 297 [s.t;. Buckfeld], he is stated to have been studying at Oxford in 1238, and was M.A. by 1243. He became Vicar of West Rounton, Yorks in the same year, and Vicar of Iver, Bucks in 1249. He was Canon and Prebendary of Lincoln c. 1265, and died between 1278 and 1294. These Commentaries and the MSS. in which they are found have been studied by Martin Grabmann in his ‘Mittelalterliche lateinische Aristotelesiibersetzungen und Aristoteleskommentare ’ (‘Sitzungsberichte der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften’. 1928) and in ‘Die Aristoteleskommentatoren Adam von Bocfeld und Adam von Bouchermefort’ (‘Mittelalterliches GeisteslebenVol. II, pp.138- 182, 614-616. 1936). The question of the identity of the two Adams was dis cussed and left doubtful in Grabmann’s second work. But in 1929 Franz Pelster reviewing Grabmann’s paper in ‘Scholastik’ IV, and in an article on Adam von Bocfeld in Vol. XI of that Journal in 1936, came to the conclusion that the two Adams were one and the same person. This view was further expanded and maintained by S. H. Thomson in his ‘Note on the works of Magister Adam de Bocfeld (Bouchermefort)’ in ‘Medievalia et Humanistica’ fasc. II, pp. 55-87, 1945, and in his ‘Note on Master Adam of Bocfeld’ in the same Journal, fasc. XI, pp. 23-32. 1958. Some of these commentaries have been identified in Thorndike’s ‘ Catalogue of Incipits’: Physica, 371 (Adam de Bouchermefort); De coelo et mundo, (Anon.) 336; De sensu et sensato, (Anon.) 587; De somno et vigilia, (Anon.) 183; Anima et spiritus, 364; Meteorologica, (Adam de Bocfeld) 359; Memoria, (Anon.) 622.
