History
The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
Cf. MSS. Oxford:--Exeter Coll. 39 (xiv), Thomas Wallensis;--Bruges,
338, ‘Joannes Anglicus super Joannem’ (Haenel); or 474, ‘Scripta
Johannis Anglici super Johannitium’ (Laude).
_Commentaries on Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges,
Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah._
MSS. Oxford:--Bodl. Laud. Misc. 345 (sec. xiv), ascribed to John
Wallensis.--Merton Coll. 196 (sec. xiv), and New College 30 (sec. xv),
ascribed to Thomas Wallensis.--Leland mentions the same works in the
library of Christ Church, Canterbury, where they were ascribed to John
Wallensis (Leland _Collect._ III. 7).
The following works are sometimes assigned to John Wallensis:--
_Expositio super Pater Noster._
MSS. Charleville 873 contains, according to Haenel (p. 120), ‘Joannis
Wallensis ... expositio super pater noster et dietarium super vita
religiosa.’ In the new catalogue this treatise is given as anonymous,
the same volume, No. 272 (sec. xiv), containing the _Dietarium_.
Mondée Abbey (diocese Lisieux), Cod. 3, Joannes Galesius Ordinis
Minorum super _Pater noster_ (Montfaucon, p. 1333).
_In fabulas Ovidii_, or, _Expositiones seu moralitates in lib. i._ (?)
_Metamorphoseon sive fabularum_ (Leland and Tanner). This appears to be
the work generally ascribed to Thomas Walleys, and, by M. Hauréau, to
Peter Bercherius[996]. There is no real ground for assigning it, as Leland
does, to John Wallensis.
MSS. Oxford: Bodl. Auct. F. 5. 16 (= Bodl. Sup. A. I Art. 86 or Bodl.
2581), Johannes Anglicus.
Brit. Mus.: Royal 15 C xvi, anon.
Cambridge:--Peterhouse 12 or 2-3-9 ‘a fratre Thoma Waleys de provincia
Anglie ordinis Predicatorum.’
Dublin:--Trin. Coll. 8, anon., but bound up with works by John
Wallensis.
Reims 741 (Haenel p. 405), ‘Liber fabularum a magistro Joanne Anglico
compositus.’
Troyes 1627 (sec. xiv), Thomas Waleys.
Printed at Paris 1511, &c.
_In mythologicon Fulgentii._
A commentary on this by John Wallensis is mentioned by Leland in the
Library of the Friars Minors at Reading (_Collect._ III, 57). Many
anonymous treatises on the work are extant; e. g.
MSS. Brit. Mus.: Royal 7 C I f. 311.--Dublin:--Trin. Coll. 8 (§ 8),
bound up with works of John Wallensis.
Cf. notice of John Redovallensis.
_Comment. in Valerium de non ducenda uxore._
Seen by Leland in the Franciscan Library, London. The _incipit_ which
he gives is merely that of the work itself, and is no assistance in
identifying the commentary of John Wallensis. The latter refers to the
epistle in his _Breviloq. de quatuor virtutibus cardinalibus_: MS.
Brit. Mus.: Royal 10 A ix, f. 83 b-84.
Cf. notice of John Redovallensis.
As to other works attributed to him with some show of reason by the older
bibliographers:
