Stephen of Páleč († c. 1422) was one of the first to advocate Wyclif’s realism in the Prague Arts Faculty. This paper provides an overview of his works on universals, dating their origin to 1394-1396. In some cases, his purpose was probably to defend the realism of universals in general, not just that of Wyclif. The editio princeps of one of Stephen’s quaestiones on universals is printed here. An analysis of this quaestio uncovers intriguing data on textual transmission, including the possible influence of an anonymous realist’s position attacked by Buridan in the 1330s.
