Abstract

One of the many contributions made by Gedeon Gai in the course of his career has been the precision he has been able to bring to the biographies of numerous English Franciscans, most especially William of Ockham, Walter Chatton, and Adam Wodeham. He achieved this through his deep and extensive knowledge of manuscripts, following in the tradition of Philotheus Boehner and others, but also through his sensitivity to the details of the educational structure of the Franciscan Order in the early fourteenth century. In keeping with that interest, the following piece explores in greater detail a long-known document that throws light both on the resident community at Cordeliers in Paris in June 1303 and on the operation of the Franciscan educational system as it concerned the Paris convent.
