Abstract
Late medieval logicians after 1350 continued to be concerned with a cluster of topics connected with the idea of logical inference. Their efforts revolved around the following topics: (a) the nature of consequence in general and of sub-types of consequence; (b) the criteria of valid or sound consequence; (c) the most general propositional rules including those governing modal, epistemic, and obligational realms; (d) the problem with the so-called Ex impossibili -rule: ‘From any impossible proposition any other proposition follows’.
