=Malachias of Ireland= is said by Wadding to have been a Franciscan and
B.D. of Oxford, c. 1310. According to the same writer, he preached before
Edward II, and was not afraid to rebuke the King to his face[1437].
_Libellus septem peccatorum mortalium_, or, _Tractatus de Veneno_ (often
wrongly ascribed to Grostete.)
MS. Brit. Mus.: Cott. Vitell. C. xiv, § 6.
Printed at Paris 1518.
=Walter Brinkley= or =Brinkel= (co. Cambridge), called by Willot ‘the Good
Doctor,’ ‘the ancient Doctor and Sophist[1438],’ is said by Bale to have
been a doctor of Oxford and to have flourished A. D. 1310. Bale and Pits
give a list of his works, but nothing of a trustworthy nature appears to
be known about him[1439].
=John of Winchelsea=, S.T.P. and Canon of Salisbury, a fellow of Merton in
the reigns of Henry III (?) and Edward I, entered the Minorite Order in
his old age at Salisbury, and died during the year of his noviciate, A. D.
1326[1440].
=John Canon= is said to have flourished c. 1320, and to have attended the
lectures of Duns Scotus at Oxford and Paris[1441]. Wood, referring to the
_regestrum Oriell_, says that his
‘philosophicall treatises were soe much esteemed among the students of
this University that they were read to them by their tutors and by
logick lecturers in each society[1442].’
_Comment. in libros octo Physicorum Aristotelis._ _Inc. prol._ ‘Venite ad
me omnes qui laboratis.’ _Inc. opus._ ‘Utrum substancia finita.’
Of the MSS. of the work, which are very numerous, the oldest appears
to be Lambeth MS. 100, f. 103, which Todd refers to the thirteenth
century.
Printed at Padua 1475[1443], St. Albans 1481, Venice 1481, 1487, 1492,
&c.
=John Stanle=, friar, was appointed to receive at the Exchequer the royal
grant of 25 marks payable at Easter 1323 to the Friars Minors at
Oxford[1444].
‘=Philippus a Castellione Aretino=’ (Castello near Arezzo) in the Tuscan
province, is described by Wadding as, ‘_in theologia magister insignis
apud Oxonienses_.’ He flourished 1316, and wrote treatises on the poverty
of Christ[1445].
