DURANDO D'AURILLAC (DURANDELLO)

DURANDO d'AURILLAC (DURANDELLO). – French Dominican of the thirteenth–fourteenth century. He completed his studies at the celebrated convent of S. Giacomo in Paris. At the Order’s general chapter, held at Utrecht in 1300, he was appointed to lecture on the Sentences; subsequently he received the master’s degree in theology at the University. He belonged to the Thomist school and rose up (1332–1334), particularly against his confrere Durando di S. Pourçain.

The following works are attributed to D.: Scripta in IV libros Sententiarum; two Quodlibeta, of which we have no knowledge; Liber contra Durandum, seu Evidentiae reprobantes Durandum in his, in quibus impugnat s. Thomam; Corruptorium Corruptorii; both unpublished and of disputed attribution.
