Abstract
The school of the court of the popes in Avignon hasn’t been studied much. The present essay of synthesis on its status, organisation and staff under the pontificate of John XXII allows to refine the chronology of the careers of Durandus of Saint-Pourçain, Willelm of Laudun, Dominic Grima, Peter of Pireto, Galhard of Pogeto, Armand of Belvézer and Arnaud of Saint-Michel, lectors in theologia at the studium Curie from 1316 to 1334. It sheds light on a minor institution, with an evolutionary structure. The studium Curie, far from being a university of full exercise, seems rather like a school of metropolitan theology, aiming at the continuing theological education of the staff of the papal court. The col¬ lation of academic degrees is exceptional at the papal court, provided that we do not confuse a papal order to receive at the doctorate -which is an element of the universal power of the pope -with the collation of the degrees in theology in the institutional frame of the studium.
