[edit] Life

He was a student of Godfrey of Fontaines, and teacher of John Baconthorpe[1]. He became prior-general of the Carmelites in 1318[2], bishop of Mallorca, and bishop of Elna[3][4]. As bishop of Elna he opposed Adhémar IV de Mosset[5].

A strong proponent of Aristotle, he taught at Avignon[6].

[edit] Works

He was an early infallibilist[7]; the concept of papal infallibility is thought to occur first in a work he wrote concerning the conflict of Pope John XXII and the Franciscan Spirituals[8]. It is said that he adapted this doctrine to papal needs, rather than originating it[9], and before 1328[10].

He was one of those opposing the views of Arnold of Villanova on the Antichrist[11][12]; and he first dubbed Joachim of Fiore a heretic[13]. He was asked, with Pierre de la Palud, to report on Peter John Olivi's apocalyptic writing[14].

Other works include the Errores Sarracenorum against Islam[15] and a Decretals commentary[2].
