WILLIAM of MELITONA. - Fourth Franciscan master of theology in Paris. He succeeded Odo Rigaldi in the chair in 1248. He was then master at Cambridge, and in 1256 he was charged by Alexander IV with completing the Summa of Alexander of Hales, but death (1257) overtook him before he could carry out this work.

His writings (Commentaries on Scripture and QQ. de Sacramentis) are still unpublished, except for a Tractatus super Missam (edited by W. Lampen, Quaracchi 1931).
