=Laurentius Gulielmi[1693] de Savona=, a man of noble birth, and friar of the Province of Genoa, was for five years a pupil of Friar Francis of Savona (who in 1471 became Pope Sixtus IV), at Padua and Bologna[1694]. After this Laurentius lectured at Paris and Oxford[1695]. In 1478 he was at Cambridge, writing on rhetoric[1696]. In April, 1485, he dates a letter to William Waynflete, in praise of his foundation of Magdalen College, ‘in almo Conventu S. Francisci Londonii,’ where also he seems to have written his _Triumphus Amoris Domini nostri Jesu Christi_[1697]. He subsequently returned to Savona, where he died in 1495 at the age of eighty-one[1698]. His treatise _Nova Rhetorica_ or _Margarita eloquentiæ_, &c., was printed at St. Albans in 1480[1699]. _Arenga fratris Gwilhelmi Sauonensis de epistolis faciendis._ _Inc._ ‘Conquestus mecum es.’ MS. Munich:--Bibl. Regia, 5238 (sec. XV). _Fratris Laurentii Gulelmi de Traversagnis de Saona, ord. Min., S. Pag. Prof., in libros septem dialogorum, sive directorium vitae humanae, seu directorium mentis in Deum._ _Inc. prol._ ‘Quum plures nationes:’ written at Savona, 1492[1700]. MS. Venice:--St. Mark, Vol. IV, Cl. x. Cod. 246. =Isaac Cusack=, or =Cusag=, in 1473, obtained letters from the University testifying to his learning and good conduct, and certifying that he had incepted as D.D., and ‘laudably fulfilled his regency and all that pertains to the solemnity of such a degree.’ Armed with this testimonial, he went over to Ireland with a Dominican named Dionisius Tully; and the two friars ‘preached publickly that Christ preached from door to door, that Pope John was a Heretic, and such like, telling the People withal, that they in their proceedings had been encouraged by the University of Oxford.’ In 1482 the University, hearing of their doings, had them arrested with the co-operation of the Archbishop of Dublin, and sent back to Oxford. Being convicted of heresy, they were (according to Wood) ‘after recantation degraded and rejected the University as vagabonds.’ There seems to be no authority for Wood’s surmise, that they were afterwards reconciled to the University ‘by their complaints to great persons’[1701]. =William Dysse= in 1477 represented the Friars Minors of Oxford in the Court of Chancery. He may have been warden, more probably permanent or temporary ‘syndicus’ of the house[1702]. =Menelaus (Menma) M{c}Cormic= or =M{c}Carmacan= is said to have studied at Oxford. He was promoted to the see of Raphoe in 1484, died on May 9, 1515 or 1516, and was buried in the Minorite Convent of Donegal[1703]. =---- Wyȝht.= The proctors in their accounts for the year ending April 17, 1482, ‘reddunt compotum de compositionibus 4 Doctorum Theologie, viz. Morgan, Browne, et Richeford, fratrum ordinis predicatorum, et Wyȝht ordinis minorum, 26{li} 13{s} 4{d}.’[1704]
