RALPH" (ft. 1350-1400), See also:English schoolman, was probably a native of the See also:West Midlands. He was a See also:fellow of Merton See also:College, See also:Oxford, before 136o, and famous as a teacher of See also:logic and See also:philosophy and a writer on educational subjects. He belonged, like See also:Thomas See also:Aquinas and See also:Bonaventura, to that " School of the See also:Middle " which mediated between realists and nominalists. Besides his Logica, which has not survived, he wrote Consequentiae, a See also:treatise on the See also:syllogism, and Obligationes or Scholastica See also:militia, a See also:series of " formal exercises in scholastic dialectics." He had some not unfriendly controversy with hi's colleague See also:John Wyclif, against whom he defended the See also:possession of See also:wealth by the See also:clergy, _and held that in the See also:Church abuses were better than disturbance. He also attacked Wyclif's See also:doctrine of See also:predestination. His positions are gathered from Wyclif's Responsiones ad Rodolphum Strodum (MS. 3926, See also:Vienna Imperial Library). Strode is also associated with John See also:Gower in See also:Chaucer's See also:dedication of Troylus and Cryseyde, and Strode himself, according to the 15th-See also:century Vetus catalogus of See also:fellows of Merton, was a " poeta nobilis." See also:Leland and See also:Bale confirm this testimony, and See also:Professor I. Gollancz has suggested the See also:identification of the Phantasma Radulphi attributed to Strode in the Vetus catalogus with the beautiful 14th-century elegiac poem The See also:Pearl. If this hold See also:good, Strode wrote also Cleanness, See also:Patience, and See also:Sir Gawayne and the See also:Green See also:Knight.
