Johannes Ocreatus, see Steinschneider (1905) p. 51.
Johannes Papiensis, see Steinschneider (1905) p. 51.
Johannes Parisiensis, master in theology, besides several
theological treatises wrote _de yride_ and _super librum
metheorum_. His _Contra corruptum Thome_ shows that he
wrote after Aquinas. See Denifle (1886) p. 226.
There was also a medical writer named John of Paris who
perhaps, rather than Thaddeus of Florence, wrote the
treatise, De complexionibus corporis humani, Amplon.
Quarto 35, 1421 A. D., fols. 142-58. The remark of V. Rose
may also be recalled, “Ioh. Parisiensis ist bekanntlich
ein Mädchen für alles.”
John of Poland, Addit. 22668, 13th-14th century, “Liber
Magistri Johannis Poloni,” medical recipes, etc.
Johannes de Probavilla, Vienna 2520, 14th century, fols.
37-50, “Liber de signis prognosticis.”
John of Procida, see De Renzi, III, 71, Placita
Philosophorum Moralium Antiquorum ex Graeco in Latinum
translata a Magistro Joanne de Procida Magno cive
Salernitano.
Johannes de Protsschida, CLM 27006, 15th century, fols.
216-31, Compendium de occultis naturae.
Ioannes de Rupecissa, a Franciscan who wrote various works
on alchemy and who was imprisoned by the pope in 1345 for
his prophecies concerning the church and antichrist; it
would take too long to list the MSS here.
Johannes de Sacrobosco (John Holywood), well known for his
_Sphere_, which has been repeatedly printed and was the
subject of commentaries by many medieval authors.
Joannes de S. Aegidio (John of St. Giles, also Anglicus or
de Sancto Albano), Bodleian 786, fol. 170, Experimenta
(medical).
John of St. Amand, a medical writer, discussed in our 58th
chapter.
Johannes de Sancto Paulo, another medical writer whose best
known work seems to be that on medicinal simples.
John of Salisbury; see our 41st chapter.
John of Saxony, or John Danko of Saxony, at Paris in 1331
wrote a commentary on the astrological Ysagogicus of
Alchabitius, which John of Spain had earlier translated.
Amplon. Quarto 354, 14th century, fols. 4-59, Commenta
Dankonis scilicet magistri Iohannis de Saxonia super
Alkubicium; Amplon. Folio 387, 14th century, 46 fols.,
Iohannis Danconis Saxonis almanach secundum tabulas
Alfonsinas compositum et annis 1336-1380 meridiano
Parisiensi accomodatum--also in Amplon. Folio 389 and many
other MSS; BN 7197, 7281, 7286, 7295A, Canones ad motum
stellarum ordinati. Duhem IV (1916) 77 and 578-81 holds
that two men have been confounded as John of Saxony,--one
of the 13th, the other of the 14th century.
Johannes de Sicca Villa, Royal 12-E-XXV, fols. 37-65, de
principiis naturae.
Joannes de Sicilia, BN 7281, 7406, Expositio super canones
Arzachelis. Steinschneider (1905) p. 51, dates it in
1290 and regards this John as “hardly to be identified”
(“schwerlich identisch”) with John of Messina. See also
Duhem IV (1916) 6-9.
