Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
if Schankton died in the course of those three years, he was, before his
death, to appoint another friar to fulfil the wishes of the
testator[1587].
=John Romseye=, D.D., succeeded W. Woodford as regent master of the Friars
Minors in 1389[1588]. He was buried in the Chapel of All Saints in the
Grey Friars’ Church, London[1589].
=John Wastenays=, Inceptor in theology at Oxford, and possibly one of the
‘wax-doctors,’ is mentioned in the following letter given under the privy
seal, _temp._ Richard II[1590]:
‘Tres cher et bien ame. Nous vous prions, que, en ce que notre cher en
dieu frere Johan Wastenays de lordre dez Menours, Commenceour en
theologie, ad affaire deuers vous touchant son commencement en la
Vniuersitee doxon, lui veullez faire la grace et le fauour que
bonement purrey, sauuant lez estatutz et lez priuileges de la
vniuersitee auantdicte. Donne souz, etc. (i.e. souz notre priue
seal).’
=Jacob Fey= of Florence studied at Oxford in 1393, when he transcribed a
manuscript formerly kept in the library of Santa Croce, Florence, now in
the Laurentian library[1591]. The colophon runs:--
‘Explicit compilatio quædam diversorum argumentorum recollectorum a
diversis doctoribus in Vniversitate Oxoniæ ordinata satis pulchre per
Reverendum Fratrem ...[1592] S.T. Mag. ejusdem Vniversitatis de Ordine
Carmelitarum, scripta per me Fratrem J. Fey de Florentia Ordinis
Minorum in Conventu Oxoniæ anno Domini MCCCXCIII die sequenti festum
40 Martyrum ad laudem Domini nostri Jesu Christi. Amen.’
Fey was inquisitor in his native land in 1402[1593].
=Nicholas Fakenham= (Norfolk) enjoyed the favour and patronage of Richard
II. He was doctor of Oxford and twenty-eighth Provincial Minister of the
Order in 1395. On the 5th of November in that year, on the occasion
apparently of his inception, he ‘determined’ at Oxford on the papal schism
by command of the king. This lecture has been preserved[1594]; the
introduction may be given here, somewhat abbreviated.
