Henry Harclay

Henry Harclay (c. 1270 – 1317) (also Henry of Harclay), was an English philosopher. He was a Chancellor of the University of Oxford (1313–1316), and a secular master and scholastic philosopher. He played an important role in Oxford and Paris during the first two decades of the fourteenth century. While in Paris, he produced a commentary on book I of the Sentences of Peter Lombard, perhaps a reportatio of lectures from around 1300.^[1]

He was the son of Sir Michael Harclay and Joan Fitzjohn, and the younger brother of Andrew Harclay, 1st Earl of Carlisle.
