GUIDO TERRENI. - Theologian and canonist, b. at Perpignan at the end of the 13th century (1260?), d. at Avignon on 21 Aug. 1342.

He held the title of Doctor Parisiensis and was called to the papal court of Avignon as a theologian. In 1318 he became general of the Carmelites and in 1321 bishop of Majorca, from which he was transferred to the see of Perpignan (Elnents) in the Pyrenees in 1332.

He dealt with philosophy, theology and law: he wrote commentaries on Aristotle, Commentaria in libros de Anima, Commentaria in XII libros Metaphysicorum, Commentaria in VIII libros Physicorum; a Summa de haeresibus, Quaestiones ordinariae and Quaestiones disputatae, De vita et moribus Iesu Christi, De perfectione vitae, Quatuor unum (later published under the title Concordia Evangelium at Cologne in 1531), etc. The De iure seu Correctorium Decreti Gratii is without doubt his most important work.
