1922 MARSIGLIO OF PADUA 515 in Paris. The book had been much discussed, -after the departure of Marsiglio to Germany, though he was ignorant of the details of the heresy. He had not had any relations with Marsiglio outside Paris, yet he admitted that they had taken walks together when Marsiglio visited his patients as a doctor. No letter either from Marsiglio of Padua or John of Jandun had reached him, and their financial relations were as between lender and borrower. Francis lent money to Marsiglio for him to take care of it ; now and then Marsiglio returned a florin or two, and at that time Marsiglio owed Francis on account thirteen Parisian shillings. Before his departure Marsiglio, on the pretext of reading a course of theology in Paris, had borrowed the following sums : 1 from Robert of Bardi, a Parisian student . . ix gold florins from Master Andrew of Reate, surgeon . . x Parisian pounds from Master Peter of Florence, physician . . x Parisian poun'ds (or florins) In addition Master Andrew of Florence had deposited an unknown sum with Marsiglio. Francis, in replying to the question of how he knew the foregoing facts, declared that the lenders of the money, when they discovered the departure of Marsiglio, made no secret of their complaint against him and rendered the trans- actions a matter of public disgrace. After the year 1328 the activities of Marsiglio disappear from view. There can be little doubt that he returned from Lombardy with Lewis and lived the rest of his life in Munich as a doctor. At last in 1342 Lewis had need of his capacities as a writer, to facilitate a divorce between Margaret, daughter of Henry of Tyrol, and John Henry of Moravia. Marsiglio produced a small tract on marriage, De lure Imperatoris in Causis Matrimonialibus, and William of Ockham did the same. The date of both works is limited in one direction by the remarriage of Margaret ' Maul- tasch' to the emperor's son, Lewis of Brandenburg, on 10 February 1342. It was at the end of the same year that Marsiglio wrote a small review of the Defensor Pads, called the Defensor Minor, in which he incorporated 2 the small tract on marriage. Marsiglio died, as was previously mentioned, before 10 April 1343, the worst heretic, says Clement VI, that he had ever met. Lewis died in 1347 ; and two years later the last remaining heretics, William of Ockham, Bonagratia of Bergamo, and Michael of Cesena, had followed him to the grave. C. KENNETH BRAMPTON. 1 Friedberg, p. 25, notices the interesting sum paid for a course in theology at Paris at this date. 2 The reasons for this opinion are given in my edition of this work, which is shortly to appear. For the opposite view see Sullivan, Ante, xx. 305. Ll2
