BM STC France 1470-1600 notes Jean Barbier as active in Paris from 1503, and Jean Petit from 1495.Jehan PetitJEHAN PETIT or LE PETIT.A French theologian and professor in the University of Paris; b. most likely at Brachy, Caux, in Normandy, and certainly in the Diocese of Rouen, about 1360; d. 15 July, 1411. Some historians (Duboulay, Wadding) say he was a Friar Minor, others that he was a Dominican: as a matter of fact, he never was a member of any religious order. He owed his education to the generosity of the Duke of Burgundy, who granted him a pension. In the first extant document that records his name, he is called master of arts (16 August, 1385). Two years later his name occurs in the list sent by the University of Paris (31 July, 1387) to Pope Clement VII, recommending its masters for vacant benefices. The Church at that time was torn by the great Western Schism. France sided with Clement VII, but every one was anxious for reunion. He became a licentiate in theology in May, 1400, and received the degree of Doctor before 1403, since he is mentioned in that year on the roll of the university as an active member of the theological faculty of Paris. In April, 1407, he formed part of the imposing embassy sent by Charles VI to urge Benedict XIII and Gregory XII to abdicate and thus reunite Christendom.Johannis Barbier, the printer published much of Jehan Petit's works from manuscripts during his printing period in Paris.Images sell!Get Supersized Images & Free Image HostingAttention Sellers - Get TemplatesImage Hosting, Scheduling at .Every buyer gets a MyStoreRewards invitation for cash back Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter read more
