Keywords: Nicole Oresme, Marsilius of Padua, Monetary theory, valencior pars, Defensor pacis

Abstract

In Livre de Politiques Nicole Oresme twice casually quotes the title of the Marsilius of Padua’s condemned work: “livre intitulé Defensor pacis” to comment the Aristotelian text. But fifteen years before, in De moneta, Oresme founds his monetary theory on the Defensor pacis. In this paper we analyse the community’s functions that Oresme describes in De moneta, in order to identify the valencior eius pars.
