Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
This is probably incorporated in the Dialogus (see Wadding, Ann. Min.
VIII, 81-2). Cf. MS. Florence:--Laurentiana, _ex Bibl. S. Crucis_, Plut.
xxxi. Sin. Cod. iii (sec. xiv).
_De actibus hierarchicis_, lib. i (Wadding).
Wadding, _Sup._: ‘citat Joan. Picus Mirandulanus in sua Apologia quaest.
1.’
_Errorum quos affinxit papae Johanni_, lib. i (Wadding). _Inc._ ‘Locuti
adversum me lingua.’
(Probably identical with one of the extant treatises.)
_Defensorium_ (against the pope); mentioned by Leland, Bale, &c. _Inc._
‘Omni quippe regno desiderabilis.’
This is the _Defensor pacis_ of Marsilius of Padua.
NOTE.--In his catalogue of Vatican MSS., Montfaucon mentions, among
_Praecipui codices MSS. Bibliothecae Vaticanae_, ‘947, ad 956 Guill.
Occhami opera.’ See Montfaucon, _Bibl. Bibliothecarum MSS._ p. 100.
=Henry de Costesey or Cossey= (Norfolk) is reckoned among the Oxford
Franciscans by Bale and others, but without evidence. He was forty-sixth
Master of the Minorites at Cambridge (c. 1336)[1472], and is said to have
died at Babwell[1473].
_Commentarius super Apocalypsim._ _Inc._ ‘Apocalypsis Jhesu Christi
quam.... Dividitur enim iste liber sicut alii libri in prohemium et
tractatum.’
MSS. Bodl.: 2004 = *NE*. B. 3. 18, now Bodley 57. Laud. Misc. 85, fol.
67 b (sec. xiv).

=John de Hentham= was a Minorite in the Oxford Convent in 1340, when he
acted as attorney for the warden[1475].
=Hugh de Willoughby= or =Wylluby=, S.T.P., was the Chancellor of the
University in 1334. He held the prebend of Barnby, in the diocese of York,
in 1338. It is not known when he became a Franciscan; but it was no doubt
in his declining years[1476].
=Peter de Gaieta= was elected in the General Chapter at Assisi, c. 1340,
to take the degree of B.D. and lecture on the _Sentences_ at Oxford. When
the appointment of a friar to read the _Sentences_ at Paris was discussed
in the General Chapter at Marseilles in 1343, Peter obtained many votes.
In the same year the degree of Master in the University of Naples was
conferred on him by the command of Pope Clement VI. He had previously
lectured on the _Sentences_ there, and been Minister of the Provinces of
Apulia and Terra Laboris[1477].
=John Lathbury= (Bucks), said to have been a native of the Reading
friary[1478], was D.D. of Oxford and flourished about the middle of the
fourteenth century[1479]. The evidence for the date is found in his own
most famous work[1480]; the passage may be quoted as an authentic specimen
of a subject of conversation between two Oxford Franciscans:
