Jan Szylling
Jan Szylling was a Polish Scholastic philosopher.Life
Jan Szylling, a native of Kraków, studied with Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples 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.
