To the bishops of London, Worcester, and Llandaff. Order to admit Roger de Baketon, of the order of Friars Preachers, to a chair of theology, and to allow him and Richard de Huntely, of the same order, to give lectures on the Sentences, although they have not taken the oath to observe two specified statutes of the University of Oxford. The querela of the Friars Preachers states that the chancellor and masters have made statutes to their injury. The exercises for the degree admitting bachelors to teach in the faculty of theology used to be held in the houses of the Friars Minors, but have been for twelve years transferred to St. Mary's; and the disputations called vesperie, which were held in the houses of the Friars Preachers, were, two years ago, transferred by statute to St. Mary's. Of these statutes the Friars Preachers complain, because by the first an ancient custom has been changed without utility or necessity, the houses of the Friars being better fitted and more quiet for the purpose than St. Mary's. Another statute is also matter of grievance. Two years ago it was forbidden to anyone to lecture on the Bible who was not a bachelor in theology, and there being many friars who teach the Sentences elsewhere, they are by this statute prevented from doing so in Oxford. The friars add that the said statutes were issued against the votes of the regent masters in theology and canon and civil law, and on this ground they appeal to the pope. Another statute is complained of, by which no one can teach theology who is not a master of arts or has not special grace from the chancellor and masters; and another that any statute passed by the regent masters of two faculties and the majority of non-regent masters, is held to be perpetual; also that no one is admitted to the degree of master or bachelor without first taking the oath to observe the statutes and customs of the university. After appeal had been made to the pope by the prior and friars, the chancellor and masters expelled from their congregation Hugh de Sutton, master of theology, and lecturer in the said friars’ house; they also refused to admit Roger de Baketon, to whom they had appointed a day for his theological degree, and Richard de Hunteley, his deputy, to lecture on the Sentences; and would not, after the appeal, allow brethren of the said order to make the accustomed exercises for the degree of bachelor or master. On the part of the chancellor, masters, and university, their proctor, Master John de Stratford, professor of civil law, argued against the appeal and the particulars stated by the prior and friars; and the pope makes the order without prejudice to the statutes and ancient and modern customs of the university. If the parties will not agree, they are to be cited to appear before the pope within six months with all documents relating to the cause.
