GERARD OF ABBEVILLE - Incipit of the Quodlibets - Vatican Library, cod. Vat. Lat. 1015, f. 1ᵒ (13th cent.).
GERARD OF ABBEVILLE. - Master of theology in Paris already before 1257 and until his death in 1272. There survive from him some sermons, Quaestiones disputatae, and 19 Quodlibeta (cod. Vat. lat. 1015 of the VaticanLibrary, and cod. lat. 16405 of the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris). He adheres to Augustinianism, as emerges from the Quaestiones de cogitatione of ms. 177 of Bruges.
With William of St. Amour and Nicholas of Lisieux, he took part in the struggle against the Mendicant Orders, especially in the second period (1268-72), when he became the most authoritative head of the party opposed to them. In 1269 he published the Contra adversarium perfectionis Christianae, confuted by St. Thomas, by St. Bonaventure and by G. Peckam. The adversaries of the Mendicants began to call themselves « Geraldi » or « Geraldini ».
