Petrus Casuelis ordinis minorum.’

[1446] Wood says that Ockham received the last title from the Pope. Annals, I, 439.
[1447] Lambeth MS. 221 (sec. xiv), fol. 308 b; among ‘modern Oxonians,’ singled out for special praise, is ‘Occam inceptor in theology.’ Barth. of Pisa, Liber Conform. f. 81 b, calls him ‘Bacalarius formatus Oxonie.’ Cf. MS. Bibl. Mazarine, Paris, 894 (sec. xiv), ‘Questiones super primum librum Sententiarum de ordinacione fratris Guillelmi de Okham de ordine fratrum Minorum, Oxonie.’
[1448] Riezler, _Die literarischen Widersacher der Päpste_, &c. pp. 35, 241.
[1449] Wadding, VI, 396; Riezler, p. 71, &c. The English Provincial was William of Nottingham.
[1450] Wadding cites a letter of John XXII dated Kal. Dec. A{o} VIII (1323), ordering the Bishops of Ferrara and Bologna to inquire into a report that Ockham had upheld the doctrine of Evangelical Poverty in a public sermon; if so, he was to be sent to Avignon within a month. Ann. Min. VII, 7, 23.
[1451] Anal. Franc. II, 142. Among the writings must have been the treatise _De paupertate Christi_, which Leland and Wadding mention, but which has not been identified. Cf. also Wadding, VII, 81-2, who states a work written at Avignon in 1328 was afterwards inserted in the _Dialogus_.

[1460] On the last fly-leaf is a rude portrait of the author.
[1461] According to Tanner, one of Ockham’s works on the Physics was printed at Strasburg in 1491.
[1462] Another work on the Physics ascribed to Ockham was preserved at Assisi, and perhaps is there still: _inc. prol._ ‘Philosophos plurimos’: _inc. opus._ ‘Iste liber dividitur in duas partes.’ (Wadding, _Sup. ad Script._ 328.)
[1463] The first, consisting of three _quaestiones_, is called: ‘Tractatus quam gloriosus de sacramento altaris, et in primis de puncti, linee, superficiei, corporis, quantitatis, qualitatis et substantie distinctione,’ &c. The second contains forty-one chapters: ‘Incipit accessus ad tractatum de corpore Christi.’ _Explicit_: ‘hec tamen simpliciter falsa est, corpus Christi est quantitas in sacramento altaris.’
[1464] Ockham did not write the _Disputatio inter militem et clericum_. See Riezler, 144-8.
[1465] I do not know whether this MS. contains Tractatus i of Part III; probably, like most of the MSS., it omits it.
[1466] Goldast, Monarchia, II, 771.
[1467] Goldast, Monarchia, II, 957; Riezler, 263. Goldast speaks of six treatises only as missing, being apparently under the impression that he has printed three. The subdivisions are very confusing, and lead to many mistakes.
[1468] He was B.D. of Paris in 1373; D.D. in 1380; Chancellor in 1389; Bishop of Cambrai in 1396; Cardinal in 1411; he died in 1425. Oudin, Scriptores, III, p. 2293.
[1469] MS. Paris, Bibl. Nat. 14579, fol. 88--fol. 101b: ‘Explicit abbreviatio Dyalogi Okan quam fecit magister Petrus de Alliaco Episcopus Cameracensis et postea cardinalis.’
[1470] Ibid. f. 101 b. His nomenclature differs from that used here and (generally though not consistently) in the printed editions: thus he calls ‘Pars I’ _Tractatus primus_; ‘Pars II,’ _Tractatus secundus_; ‘Pars III, Tract ii’ (the only portion of Part III known to him), _Tractatus tertius_. Thus fol. 98 b: ‘Tractatus tertius est de viribus Romani imperii et habet 5 libros.’ Books 1, 2, and 3, correspond to those printed in Goldast (Pars III, Tract. ii, Libri 1, 2, 3): Book 4 discussed whether the emperor should defend the rights of the Roman Empire by arms ‘etiam contra papam cardinales et clerum’; Book 5 treated ‘de rebellibus, proditoribus, ... Romani imperii.’ These two books were not known to Peter d’Ailly, and are not now to be found.

[1478] According to Bale he left several of his works to the convent at Reading; I have not found the authority for this statement. See Tanner, Bibl. 469. Adam de Lathbury was Abbat of Reading monastery in 1233. Dugdale, Vol. VI, Part III, p. 1509.
[1479] The assertion that he flourished in 1406 rests on a misunderstanding of the _explicit_ in MS. Merton Coll. 189: ‘explicit secundum alphabetum et sic totum opus est completum A. D. 1406.’ This of course only refers to the writing of the MS.

[1813] In a list of monthly wages for July, 1529, there is a payment of £6 13_s._ 4_d._ to ‘Friar Nicholas, one of the King’s spiritual learned counsel;’ in Feb., 1530, he received £3 15_s._ by the King’s command: ibid. Vol. V, p. 304. See ibid. Vol. IV, No. 6187 (25), a grant of denization to ‘Nicholas Delborgo, Minorite, S.T.P.,’ Jan. 21, 1530.
[1814] In conjunction with Stokesley and Edw. Fox he wrote (A. D. 1530) a book on the King’s marriage, which Cranmer translated into English with alterations and additions: Cal. of State Papers, VIII, 1054; cf. Vol. VII, 289. He is probably the ‘Friar Nicolas, a learned man and the King’s faithful favorer,’ who was employed in negotiating with the University of Bologna for a decision favourable to the divorce (1530): Cal. of State Papers, Vol. IV, No. 6619. But there was another Friar Nicholas at this time who was employed by the Pope, Wolsey, Henry VIII, and other princes. This was a German Dominican, Nicholas de Scombergt or Schomberg, usually called Friar Nicholas or Fra Niccolo. He came to England in 1517, the same year that N. de Burgo began to teach in Oxford. He was in England in 1526, and hoped to be made cardinal. In Oct. 1532 he was on his way to Capua (from England?): a few months previously, Dr. Nicholas of Oxford (i.e. probably N. de Burgo) was trying to leave England. These facts are taken from the Calendars of State Papers, Hen. VIII. Vols. II-V.

[1939] Wood-Peshall, City of Oxford, p. 355.
[1940] MS. Sum̄.
[1941] For the grant of this area by the Abbat and Convent of Osney, at the instance of Ela Longespee, Countess of Warwick, see Wood-Clark II, p. 474.
[1942] This is a reference to the letter dated May 7, 1262, already mentioned; Pat. 46 Hen. III, m. 11. The word ‘_aliam_’ is not quite clear; it may be _alteram_.
[1943] The following petition to the King (Parliamentary Petitions, 4299, in the Record Office), probably refers to this grant, or possibly to the grant of Richard Cary (p. 20); the petition is undated. ‘A notre seigneur le Roi si luy plest prient les poures freres Menours de Oxenford qil lour voille graunter la mortificacioun de vne place en Oxenford qe ne vaut qe deux souz per an auxicome retourne est en la chauncellrie et qe est a nuly preiudice.’ _Endorsed_; ‘Soit veu(?) lenqueste et le Roi en dirra sa volonte.’
[1944] The edge of the parchment is worn away here.
[1945] Comp{r}.
[1946] This entry occurs a few lines before the foregoing on the same membrane; it probably refers to the same embassy.
[1947] Formerly ‘Placita de juratis et assisis et corone 13 Edw. I, Oxon, M. 5/2} 3, m. 55.’
[1948] pc̄.
[1949] _Sic._
[1950] Cf. Twyne MS. xxiii, 252, for an appearance of the Warden before the Mayor’s Court in 1287. ‘Rot. Cur. die Lunae Oxon. proxim. post festum assumptionis B. Mariae a{o} regni R. Edw. I. 15{o}. Memorandum quod Johannes de Westover et Isolda uxor ejus venerunt ad curiam istam et obtulerunt se clam(antes) versus Gardianum fratrum minorum Oxon. qui venit, et petunt partes licentiam concordandi, et habent.’
[1951] He is probably to be identified with ‘Johannes Vallensis Anglus, qui diu Londinii Theologiam docuit,’ who was promoted to the _Magisterium_ in 1368 by order of Pope Urban V, ‘laureante fratre Bernardo de Guasconibus, ministro Tusciae, et Fratre Simone Bruni in Universitate Tolosana;’ Wadding, vol. viii. p. 209. Wadding (viii. p. 533) gives a letter addressed to John Welle, Minorite, S.T.P. and papal chaplain, A. D. 1372.
[1952] Mon. Franc. I, 539.
[1953] It is clear that J. Prophet was Dean of Hereford when this letter was written; in another letter, referring to the same appointment, he writes: ‘Cum predecessores mei decani et Capitulum herefordenses fundatores in parte domus confratrum vestrorum hereford’ dinoscantur existere.’ Harl. MS. 431, f. 100 b.
[1954] Wilkins, Concilia III, 459.
[1955] Afterwards Prior of Friars Preachers. London, Q. R. Wardrobe 6/4 (21 Edw. I).

[1973] The whole sentence is utterly ungrammatical, but quite intelligible.
[1974] _Satisfacere_ inserted in another hand.
[1975] _de la_ inserted in another hand.
[1976] One letter, prob. c̄ (= cum) is illegible here, owing either to intentional erasure or a flaw in the parchment.
