Franciscus de Mayronis (* around 1280 in Digne-les-Bains , France , † 1328 in Piacenza , Italy ) was a French philosopher and scholastic . He was a well-known student of Johannes Duns Scotus , whose school he followed Scotism . Through his way of discussing, he acquired an excellent reputation at the Sorbonne, so that he received several honorable names such as "Doctor Illuminatus", "Magister Acutus", "Doctor Acutus", and he was known as the master of abstraction.

Life

He was born in Digne-les-Bains in Provence in 1280 and probably came from a noble family connected with the House of Anjou . He joined the order of the Franciscans and studied in Paris at the Sorbonne, from 1304 to 1307 with Johannes Duns Scotus . In 1320 and 1321 he then taught at the Sorbonne on the subject of Sententiae of Petrus Lombardus . The famous debate between him, Pierre Auriol (also a Franciscan) and Pierre Roger, who later became Pope Clement VI , also took place at this time . On May 24, 1323 he was appointed master of theology by the Chancellor of the University of Paris , this was done at the instigation of Robert von Anjou and Pope John XXII. During his time as Minister Provincial, he preached, taught and served as the Pope's ambassador in Gascony . Francis Meyronnes died in Piacenza in 1328, leaving behind an extensive collection of discourses on many topics.
