ADAM WODEHAM (GODHAM, GODDAM). - An English Franciscan, a zealous advocate of the "via moderna" or nominalist school. He taught at Norwich, London, and Oxford, and in the controversy over the freedom of the will he approached the position of Buridan (q.v.). He died in 1358.
He composed *Questiones philosophicae et theologicae*, still in manuscript; but his major work is the *Commentary on the Sentences*, which began to be printed from 1512 in the form of a compendium made by the nominalist Henry Totting of Oyta.
