The
Condemnations at the medieval
University of Paris were enacted to restrict certain teachings as being heretical. These included a number of medieval theological teachings, but most importantly the
physical treatises of Aristotle. The investigations of these teachings were conducted by the
Bishops of Paris. The Condemnations of 1277 are traditionally linked to an investigation requested by
Pope John XXI, although whether he actually supported drawing up a list of condemnations is unclear.
