Andrew of Cornwall (Andreas Cornubiensis, Andreas de Cornubia, André de Cornouailles) flourished in the 1290's at Oxford. He is thought to have introduced Parisan modism in to England, and possibly to have influenced the young Duns Scotus. These conclusions are tentative, since we are almost totally ignorant of the details of Andrew's life, and the dates and location of his activity are not certain.
All that we know of Andrew is from the evidence of his work, in the manuscript Munich BSB clm. 14383, containing Quaestiones super librum Sex principiorum (81ra-86ra), and Questiones super librum Porphyrii (86rb-92va).
There is no date or reference to locality given in Andrew's part of the manuscript. Andrew is explicitly identified as author of the questions on the Sex principiorum (Expliciunt quaestiones super librum Sex principiorum datae a domino Andrea de Cornubia. The subsequent work has the titles erased, but Grabmann attributes it to the same author on the basis of similarities. Grabmann suggests that Andrew might have been a master at the Arts faculty in Paris, but Andrews argues that the scribe and the author are both English. 'Cornubia' clearly refers to Cornwall in England, and the split ascender on the 'l' and other paleographical evidence suggests the hand was English.
