Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
_De cognitione verae vitae_, mentioned by Wadding, is the same as the
_Ordinarium_. An anonymous treatise with this title is in Royal MS. 10
A ix. f. 109-133 (which contains some works by John Wallensis). _Inc._
‘Sapientia Dei que os muti aperuit.’
_De visitatione infirmorum_: Augustine’s treatise on this is in the
Royal MS. above mentioned (fol. 134-145).
_Declaratio regulae S. Francisci_ (printed at Venice, 1513 in
_Firmamentum Trium Ordinum_), is usually attributed to John Peckham.
_Pastoralia_ by J. Wallensis; formerly in Harl. MS. 632, f. 261; (see
old table of Contents); fol. 250-265 (old pagination) are missing.
Boston of Bury calls this _De cura pastorali_: _inc._ ‘Licet beatus.’
Expl. ‘et haec ad David.’

_Summa confessorum_; by John Lector of Freiburg: see MSS. Troyes, 156
and 1492 (sec. xiv), &c. _Inc._ ‘Quoniam dubiorum[997].’
_De oculo morali_; identical with the work attributed to Grostete and
Peter de Limoges. _Inc._ ‘Si diligenter.’ It may be noticed that
Boston of Bury attributes this to John Wallensis and does not mention
it among Grostete’s works (Tanner, Bibl. pp. xxxiii, xxxvii).
_De correptione sive correctione._ _Inc._: ‘Probata virtus.’ _Expl._
‘Commorabitur’ (Boston of Bury).

Mazarine 569, f. 80 b: really by Thomas Walleys.
7. =Thomas Docking=, also called Thomas Good[999], was a native of Norfolk
and probably entered the Order at Norwich. In a letter written A. D.
1252-3[1000], Adam Marsh asks the Provincial Minister to assign the bible
of the late P. of Worcester to ‘friar Thomas de Dokkyng,’ who was
distinguished by good morals and pleasant manners, a clear head, great
learning and ready eloquence; his friends were ready to pay handsomely for
the book. He was evidently a student at this time. He became D.D. and
reader to the Franciscans at Oxford about 1260[1001]. In 1269, when he
took an active part in the controversy with the Oxford Dominicans, he is
described as ‘sometime reader at Oxford[1002].’ According to Blomefield,
he was warden of Norwich and died about 1270[1003]. His theological works,
chiefly biblical commentaries, were long held in high repute[1004]; some
are still preserved.
_Expositio super librum Deuteronomii._
