Biography/Description |
Parisian theologian from at least 1202 and cardinal-deacon of San Giorgio in Rome from 1219. He wrote a penitential Summa early in his career (by 1202) in Paris where he also began working on a collection of distinctions on writing sermons. He completed this latter work (the Alphabetum) during his first few years in Rome. He died in 1242. He is not to be confused with the cardinal legate of the same name who died in 1214. |
