FRANCIS OF MEYRONNES. - Franciscan of the 13th-14th century. According to Roth, F. was born not later than 1288 and died, as it seems, not earlier than 1328 at Piacenza. He studied in Paris, where he perhaps heard G. Duns Scotus, whose doctrines he followed. He defended, in particular, the thesis of the Immaculate Conception. Posterity called him Doctor acutus, illuminatus and also Magister abstractionum.
