He himself declares (In IV Sent., dist. 37-38, q. 1, a. 4) that he was present at Padua at the heresy trial (1316) brought against Pietro d'Abano, who had recently died. In 1332 he was definitor for the Rhenish-
Swabian province at the General Chapter of Venice. In 1335 he began lecturing on the Sentences at Paris, where in 1337 or shortly thereafter he obtained his doctorate in theology. In 1343 he was provincial prior of his province; in 1345-57 prior general of the Order. During his tenure of this office he worked hard to reorganize studies, both in the convent of Paris and by creating new provincial Studia.
As a philosopher and theologian he remained on the whole faithful to the orientation of Giles of Rome (v.), striving to reconcile Aristotle with St. Augustine and drawing not infrequently close to St. Thomas. He took a position against the via moderna of Peter Auriol and of Ockham, which cannot be said of his confrere and successor in the chair at Paris, Gregory of Rimini. On predestination "post praevisa merita" he seems oriented toward the path followed in the 16th century by Molina (v.).
