| vesperae.author.education | Very little can be found about the biography of John Romseye. He studied theology at Oxford and graduated in 1389. His vesperies have not survived, but a mention of them provides the date of his inception, as witnessed by ms. Oxford, Digby 170, ff. 12v and 20r-v, which contains William Woodford’s determination against John Wycliff: “Thus ends the third determination or lecture of the master and brother Wilhelm Woodford against the Wycliffists in Oxford, the year of the Lord 1389, in the school of the Friars Minor, and on the day of the vesperies of brother John Romseye, the next regent master.” However, the beginning of the determination reads: “Thus starts the third determination of the master Wilhelm Wydforde against the little book of master John Wyclif, which he determined at Oxford in the year of the Lord 1390.” Little prefers 1389 in his examination of Franciscan authors,763 and that is the date in the mention of vesperies, but the two conflicting dates are intriguing, especially because the determination begins with 1390 and ends with 1389. The accounts must originate in a simple mistake and require a more reliable secondary witness. Nothing else is known about his vesperies or, indeed, about the author. His entry in this catalogue, like so many others, carries a lot of hopeful thinking for future discoveries. | en_US |
