EUSTACE OF ARRAS, called Buisine. - Distinguished Minorite theologian, b. probably at Arras ca. 1225, d. 7 April 1291. At the University of Paris he was a disciple of St. Bonaventure and of Gilbert of Tournai. He is remembered as a much-listened-to preacher, and his nickname Buisine (Trumpet) refers to his oratorical triumphs. In May 1271 he was sent by St. Louis of France to Viterbo to the cardinals assembled in conclave for the election of the new pontiff. In 1272-73 he is again in Paris and then in his religious province and especially in the convent of Rouen. Martin IV appointed him bishop of Coutances in 1282.

Among his writings, almost entirely unpublished and preserved in the libraries of Paris, Reims, Basel, at the Vatican and at the Antoniana of Padua, are remembered the commentaries Super Librum Ethicorum and In libros Sententiarum, the Quaestiones quodlibetales (some were published at Quaracchi 1883 in the work De humanae cognitionis ratione anecdota quaedam, pp. 183-95 and in France Francisc., 13 [1930], pp. 247-52); various other philosophical-theological treatises and numerous sermons.
