The first edition was printed in 1470). Now believed to have been composed in the early 14th c., from the 15th c. up until the 20th, "The Lives of the Philosophers and Poets" was transmitted under the name of Walter Burley (ca. 1275-1344), one of the most prominent and influential philosophers of the fourteenth century. Burley had a very long career in both England and France, becoming Master of Arts at Oxford by 1301 and Master of Theology at Paris by 1324. He produced a large body of about fifty works, many of which were widely read in the later Middle Ages. "In 1990, the image of 'De vita et moribus' suffered a terrible blow when Mario Grignaschi severed its connection with Walter Burley (Grignaschi, "Lo Pseudo Walter Burley" 131-90, and in the same volume "Corrigenda et addenda" 325-54). Grignaschi showed that the work had to have been composed in northern Italy, which had the resources in classical materials, and that - from the evidence of an anonymous work dated 1326 that made use of it - it had to have been made no later than the 1320s, perhaps even about 1310, that is, during a period long before Burley arrived in Bologna. Overnight 'De vita et moribus' was deprived of its glamorous Burleian associations with Oxford, Paris, high scholasticism, debates about realism, and the Plantagenet court, to be revealed as the work of an anonymous Italian who is now referred to - teasingly and cruelly - as the 'Pseudo-Burley.'
