Petrus Aureoli (* around 1280 in Aquitaine , † probably January 10, 1322 in Avignon or Aix-en-Provence ), also called doctor facundus ( Latin for the eloquent doctor ), was a theologian and philosopher belonging to the Franciscan order .

Petrus Aureoli probably entered the Franciscan order before 1300. He studied in Toulouse and probably made friends with the local lawyer and later Pope John XXII. , Jacques Duèse. First he taught in Bologna at the General Studies of the Franciscans, 1314 in Tolouse, 1316-18 in Paris , where he commented on the collection of sentences of Petrus Lombardus , earned his master's degree and held exegetical lectures until 1320 and commented on current issues ( Quodlibeta ). At the end of 1320 he became provincial of his order for Aquitaine, 1321 Archbishop of Aix , he died a year later.

His main work is his sentence commentary, completed in 1316 . This is handed down in an authorized version ( ordinatio ) and as a postscript ( reportatio ) in the Vatican Library (Ms. Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Borgh. 123, fols. 1r-198v). In addition, 16 Quodlibeta, u. a. an early writing De principiis , 2 treatises on the virgin conception and a breviarium bibliorum received.

Petrus Aureoli advocates a conceptualism similar to Occam's later position . His theology is close to that of Duns Scotus , but not in all points and in this respect is based on the doctrine of the other Franciscans. a. in the doctrine of justification .
