At length the father was stricken down by a mortal disease, and, warned in a vision, he relented towards his son. The latter was summoned hastily from London, and reconciled to his father, who before his death gave proof of his devotion to the Order of St. Francis. _Twenty-five discourses on the Virgin Mary, by friar Robert de Ware._ _Inc. prol._ “Aue rosarium scripturarum per areolas.” MS. London:--Gray’s Inn, 7, f. 62-138: (sec. xiii). No title; the name of the author is given in a hand of the fourteenth century. =Walter de Landen=, =William Cornish=, =William de Wykham=, =Dyonisius=, and =Robert de Cap(e)ll=, were Franciscans at Oxford, and took part in the controversy with the Dominicans in 1269. All that is known about them will be found in Appendix C. =Nicholas de Gulac= was at Oxford in 1269. Suffering from stone and despairing of life, he at length prayed the Lord ‘to cure him by the merits of his martyr Earl Simon de Montfort.’ On the next morning as he rose from his bed ‘_ut commingeret_,’ the stone fell at his feet, and he had no pain before or afterwards, being completely cured on Easter Tuesday, 1269; to this miracle witness was borne by the whole convent of Minorites at Oxford[1373]. =Laurence of Cornwall=, to whose miraculous recovery from fever, after prayer to Simon de Montfort, the same Friar N. de Gulac bore witness, was probably at Oxford about the same time[1374]. =Stephanus Hibernicus=, called also =Stephen of Exeter= and =Stephen of Oxford=, was born in 1246, and became a Minorite at ‘Mutifernana’ in 1263. These facts are contained in the _Annales Montis Fernandi (sive Minoritarum Multifernanae) ab a{o} 45 usque ad an. 1274_, the authorship of which is usually ascribed to Stephen[1375]. It is very doubtful whether he was at Oxford. The _Annales_ are extant in ‘MS. Bibl. Arch. Armachani,’ according to Hardy; formerly MS. Clarendon 19, f. 32-44 (Bernard). =William of Ware=, or =William Warre=, =Guaro=, =Varro=, &c., born at Ware in Hertfordshire, entered the Order in his youth, according to William Woodford[1376]. It is not improbable that he studied at Oxford, but there is no authority for the statement[1377]. He was S.T.P. of Paris, where most of his life was spent[1378]. He is said to have been a pupil of Alexander of Hales[1379] (d. 1245), and master of Duns Scotus[1380], who went to Paris in 1304. He was called _doctor fundatus_ by later writers[1381]. His _Commentaries on the Sentences_ were seen by Leland in the Franciscan Library, London[1382], and are now extant in the following MSS.: Oxford:--Merton Coll. 103, 104 (sec. xiv). _Inc._ ‘Utrum finis per se et proprius theologie.’ Toulouse, 242, § 1 (sec. xiv), anon. _Inc. ut supra._ Troyes, 661, § 1 (xiv). ‘Questiones super I et III lib. Sentent.’ ascribed to Duns Scotus. _Inc. ut supra._
