The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
=Thomas of Portugal= studied at Oxford and Paris, c. 1360, and lectured at
Lisbon and Salamanca. He was elected in the General Chapter to lecture on
the _Sentences_ at Cambridge, and was promoted to the degree of D.D. in
the University of Toulouse by Pope Gregory XI in 1371[1529].
=Philip Zoriton= (?), according to Wadding ‘professor in the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge,’ received the insignia of the _magisterium_ at
the hands of Friar Francis de Cardaillac S.T.P. in 1364[1530]. Zoriton
appears to be a mistake for =Torinton= or =Torrington=. Philip Torrington
S.T.P. was made Archbishop of Cashel in 1373[1531]. He was sent by Richard
II as ambassador to Urban VI, and, on his return in 1379, urged the
English king to invade France in support of the Pope, against the Antipope
Clement VII. Philip died in 1380[1532].
=Dalmacus de Raxach= and =Franciscus de Graynoylles= of the kingdom of
Aragon, friars Minors residing at Oxford for the purposes of study,
obtained royal letters of protection on Feb. 22nd, 1378[1533].
=Francis de S. Simone de Pisis=, called ‘of Empoli,’ is mentioned by
Bartholomew of Pisa as having studied at Oxford[1534], where he perhaps
became D.D. He flourished in the fourteenth century; according to Wadding,
1376.
_Determinatio Magistri Francisci de Empoli de materia montis_ (?)
MS. Florence:--Laurentiana, _ex Bibl. S. Crucis_, Plut. xxxi, Dext.
Cod. xi (sec. xiv _or_ xv).
=John Hilton=, D.D. of Oxford, ‘determined’ in the schools against Ughtred
Bolton monk of Durham, in defence of his Order. Bale and Pits state that
he died at Norwich, 1376[1535].
_Determinationes de paupertate fratrum, et de statu Minorum_, lib. ii.
_Inc._ ‘Articulus pertractandus sit.’
Mentioned by Bale, ‘Ex bibliotheca Nordovicensi’[1536].
_Quaestiones._
One or both of these works may be the _Opera Joannis Hilton_ in _Bibl.
Eccles. Cathed. Sarisbur._ MS. 94 (Bernard).
=Hubert of Halvesnahen= (?) Bachelor of Paris, Oxford and Cambridge, and
‘_destinatus Lector Oxoniae_,’ received the degree of Master in 1376 by
papal commission at the hands of Friar Philip (Torrington), Archbishop of
Cashel, who was then staying at Avignon[1537].
=William de Prato=, of the Order of Minorites, a native of Paris, was in
1363 raised to the degree of Master in the University of Paris by the
Pope. In the papal letter[1538] to the ‘Chancellor of the Church of
Paris,’ it is stated that he had
‘studied many years at Oxford and lectured in the theological faculty,
and obtained the license of teaching in the said faculty and the
honour of Master; he desired to lecture in the same faculty at Paris,
and to give to his country what he had acquired elsewhere by studious
labours.’
The Pope bids the chancellor admit him freely on the papal authority
‘ad legendum determinandum disputandum et ceteros actus Magistrales
exercendum,’
