Abstract
Palemon Glorieux proposed in 1949 to attribute a small treatise on Penance (De confessione) that was published for the first time in 1674 to William of Auvergne, bishop of Paris from 1228 to 1249. F. N. M. Dietkstra has rejected this attribution in 1994, essentially because the treatise is present in the Jacques de Vitry's collection of Sermones de tempore. However, the text appears -explicitly attributed to the bishop of Paris - in one of the six manuscripts of sermons that Robert of Sorbon bequeathed, probably in 1274, to the library of the college that he founded. The three manuscripts of the 13 th century that indicate William of Auvergne as the author of the De confessione make plausible this attribution. The paper ends with the edition of the short version of the text.
