Author: William de la Mare, O.F.M.Paris 1274-5

Dates: According to Kraml, William was undoubtedly of English origins and became Master Regent in Paris in 1274/5. In 1282, the Minister General of the Franciscans, Bonagratia, prescribed that Franciscans not read Thomas Aquinas without the Correctorium Fratris Thomae of William. William wrote the Correctorium in at least two recensions. A biblical scholar of note, he produced a Correctio textus bibliae and a linguistic aid to the original languages of scripture, De hebraeis et graecis vocabilis glossarum bibliae.
It is important to supplement the information given by Kaml, pp. 13*-14* with the articles by D. A. Callus, "William de la Mare," NCE 14:928B-929A and E. Longpré, "De la Mare, Guillaume," DTC 8b (1925): 2467-70.
