Abstract
Two manuscripts of the fourteenth century (Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, MS 5888, and Bamberg, Canon. 29) contain a hitherto unknown Latin poem in which an anonymous lector Tholosanus complaints about contemporary heresies. The text seems to be composed by a Dominican in Southern France at the beginning of the fourteenth century. As it is indicated by the acrostic contra corruptorium, the poet intends to attack the famous tract Correctorium fratris Thomae written by the Franciscan friar William de la Mare in 1277/79. This paper presents a critical edition of the Latin text and a historical interpretation.
