The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
41. =John de Crombe= (Cott. MS.) or =Crombre= (Phil. MS.) was perhaps a
native of Combs in Suffolk: he was buried at Oxford[1142].
_Compendium theologicae veritatis per fratrem Johannem de Combis_, lib.
vii. _Inc._ ‘Veritatis theologie cum superni.’
MS. Cambridge:--Caius Coll. 193.
Anonymous in MSS. Charleville 19 (written A. D. 1337), and Metz 448
(sec. xv): generally ascribed to Albertus Magnus and printed at the
end of tom. xiii. of his works, Lyons 1651.
42. =William of Alnwick= is possibly identical with the friar called Roger
of Alnwick in the list of Oxford Franciscans presented to the bishop of
Lincoln in 1300[1143]. After lecturing at Oxford (c. 1315-1320?), he was
sent to the University of Naples, as Doctor of Theology[1144]. He was
present at the General Chapter of Perugia in 1322, and joined with the
other leading men in the Order in declaring that the doctrine of
Evangelical Poverty was not heretical[1145]. In 1330 he was made bishop of
Giuvenazzo near Bari[1146]. He is said to have died at Avignon in
1332[1147]. Bartholomew of Pisa mentions him among the famous Franciscan
theologians of the English nation[1148]; William Woodford places him among
‘inceptores ordinis Minorum qui egregie scripserunt super
sententias[1149].’
_Questiones Almoich super primum Sententiarum._
_Questiones Almoich in 1 et 2 Sententiarum_[1150].
MSS. Padua:--Bibl. S. Anton. (Tomasin, p. 61 b, 62 b.)
Cf. MS. Ball. Coll. 208 (sec. xiv), an abridgment of the commentary of
Duns Scotus on the 2nd book of the Sentences by ‘Master William of
Alnwick, Friar Minor.’
43. =William Herberd= or =Herbert=, if we may credit the Lanercost
Chronicle, which is usually trustworthy at this period, was at Paris in
1290[1151]. From his place in the list of masters, it might be inferred
that he lectured at Oxford about 1315-1320. But if the following works
ascribed to him are genuine, he must have flourished not much later than
1250-60. They are preserved in a fourteenth-century MS. formerly in the
library of Henry Farmer of Tusmor, Oxon, now in the Phillipps Library at
Thirlestaine House[1152].

Edmundi Archiepiscopi in haec verba: ‘Homo quidam erat dives et

(St. Edmund was translated in 1247; the words however must mean _in
festo translationis_, i.e. June 9th.)
