Sébastien Dupasquier

Sébastien Dupasquier (c. 1630–1718) was a Franciscan Conventual of Savoyard origin who taught philosophy and theology in the houses of his order. Little is known of his life beyond his publications, which were printed at Lyon, Chambéry and Padua and went through several editions in the decades around 1700.

He is known for two compact courses written for students of the Scotist school. His Summa philosophiae scholasticae et scotisticae, first published in 1692, covers logic, physics and metaphysics. His Summa theologiae scotisticae, first published in 1698, sets out the whole of Duns Scotus's theology in brief questions arranged in the order of the scholastic course, with the Scotist conclusion, its proofs and replies to objections. Their brevity made them popular textbooks in Franciscan schools.

The library holds the first volume of the Summa theologiae scotisticae. It gives a quick overview of the Scotist positions argued at greater length in Frassen and Briceño.
