Biography/Description |
|
A master of the English canon law school, probably at Oxford, during the 1190’s. Some of his teachings are reported, along with those of other English masters such as John of Tynemouth, in a manuscript of the Decretum at Cambridge, Gonville and Caius 676. He probably had taught before at Bologna for some time, and may further be identical with ‘magister si.’, frequently cited in the Quaestiones Londinenses. Simon also produced glosses on an abbreviated version of the sentences of Petrus Pictauiensis. He held a prebend at Lincoln chapter before he became treasurer of Lichfield in 1202. |
