Peter Quesnel

Peter Quesnel (or Quesuel) (d. 1299?) was an English Franciscan friar who became the warden of the Franciscan house at Norwich, England. Quesnel held a high reputation as a "theologian and doctor of the canon law", and was the author of Directorium Juris in Foro Conscientiæ et Juridiciali.

Works

Quesnel's work is divided into four books:

  • De summa Trinitate et fide Catholica, et de septem Sacramentis;
  • De iisdem Sacramentis ministrandis et accipiendis;
  • De Criminibus quæ a Sacramentis impediunt et de pœnis iisdem injungendis;
  • De iis quæ ad jus spectant ordinate dirigendis.

(Little, Greyfriars at Oxford, p. 224 n. 1, Oxf. Hist. Soc.).[1]

gollark: ... why is `helloworld` suddenly no longer a list?
gollark: INI is hardly obvious *either*, given that if you don't do this sort of thing your application/parser ends up having to just arbitrarily decide how to handle some weird thing.
gollark: And that should be an *error*, instead of just guessing what they mean.
gollark: > Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.I don't think this is actually a good idea, which is why we have strong typing.
gollark: Which is made easier if your config file format does not assume "haha yes it is definitely all just strings".
