English Franciscan friar, prelate, theologian, poet, and astronomer, who studied and later taught at the Université de Paris and the University of Oxford. He disputed Thomas Aquinas and the extent of the integration of Aristotle into doctrine, both in public debates and in his Summa de esse et essentia and Tractatus de anima. He also advocated asceticism in his Tractatus de paupertate and through his writings on pastoral training and work for friars. He was successively prior of the Franciscan province in England (1275) and archbishop of Canterbury (1279). Further writings of his include exegeses, commentaries on Peter Lombard's Sentences, as well as poems and earlier treatises on astronomy and optics.
