On the other hand, Henry of Langenstein, who may have been born around the same time as Oresme (Henry, b. 1325), did not finish his master of arts until 1363 and his masters [sic] of theology until 1376. So while they certainly may have been at the University of Paris at the same time, Oresme was definitely the senior of the two."
