The Grey Friars in Oxford
Little, A. G. (Andrew George)
Franciscans -- Great Britain
=William German=, or =Germyn=, or =Germen=, in Nov. 1511 obtained leave
from the Chancellor to enter the University library[1769]. He supplicated
for B.D. on July 3, 1513, after studying ‘logic, philosophy, and
theology’ for twelve years[1770]. He was still only _scolaris sacre
theologie_ in June, 1515, when he asked
‘quatenus illa particula olim posita in sua gratia, viz. quod sit
medietas anni inter oppositionem et responsionem possit deleri. Hec
est concessa, sic quod dicat unam missam de spiritu sancto pro bono
statu regentium, et aliam de trinitate, et aliam de recordare[1771].’
In Nov. 1516, he obtained grace to incept, and asked for a reduction of
his composition by one-half, which was probably granted[1772]. He did not,
however, become D.D. till June, 1518[1773]. He was one of the executors of
Henry Standish, Bishop of St. Asaph (_d._ 1535), who left
‘omnes libros meos distribuendos secundum discrecionem magistri
Johannis Cudnor S.T.D., nunc gardiani fratrum Minorum Londoniensium et
magistri Willelmi German eiusdem facultatis, et cuilibet ipsorum
quinque marcas pro labore[1774].’
=Alyngdon=, Doctor, friar Minor, in Jan. 1513/14
‘promised to pay William Hows 11_s._ 4_d._ before the fourth Sunday in
Lent under penalty of the law[1775].’
=Richard Lorcan=, an Irish Franciscan, ‘subtracted’ some goods and money
of John Eustas, a scholar, who died intestate, in 1514, and was ordered by
the Chancellor’s Court to restore them[1776].
=John de Castro of Bologna= was admitted to oppose on Dec. 6, 1514, and to
read the _Sentences_ four days later[1777]. He made the following entry
with his own hand in the Register of the Chancellor’s Court (_sub anno_
1514):
‘In die cinerum ego frater Joannes ordinis minorum italus de Castro
Bononiensi praedicabo sermonem dante domino[1778].’
=Radulph Gudman= on May 23, 1515, obtained grace to oppose, &c., after
studying for twelve years
‘in hac universitate et Cantibrigie et in partibus
transmarinis[1779].’
=William Walle=, having studied for twelve years, obtained grace to
oppose, with the stipulation that six months should intervene between his
opposition and responsion (July 3, 1513). He incepted in June or July,
1518, and half his composition was remitted. In Dec. 1518, he was
dispensed from his regency for a fortnight[1780].
=John Flavyngur= or =Flanyngur=, scholar of Canon Law, supplicated on June
20, 1515,
‘quatenus studium octodecim annorum in eodem jure et in jure civili
cum multis lecturis publicis in cathedra doctoris et multis aliis
locis sufficiat ut admittatur ad lecturam extraordinariam alicujus
libri decretalium. Hec est concessa sic quod solvat vj{s} viij{d}
Universitati in die admissionis sue et legat duos libros
decretalium[1781].’
