Biography/Description

Born in Bresse between 1270 and 1280, Petrus entered the Dominican order and studied theology and law at Toulouse in the early fourteenth century. He was named as a master of theology there in 1314. Petrus headed a commission investigating the Templars for Clement V, and also investigated charges of heresy against Pierre Olivi. In 1329, John XXII dispatched Petrus to Jerusalem. During the next three years he spent some time in Cyprus and also in Cairo, negotiating with the Sultan. He returned to Avignon in 1331 and took up pastoral duties in Guyenne until his death in 1342. His writings were all of a mixed theological–juridical nature.
