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.

gollark: I do not live anywhere with very good jobs in any fields I like.
gollark: The system is weird and half government-funded, though. There's a cap of £9250/year but most universities just charge right up to the limit.
