John Pecham

John Pecham (Joannes Pecham (de Pescham/Peccanus, ca. 1225, Patcham in Sussex - 1292, Mortlake, Surrey), doctor ingeniosus was an English Franciscan from Patcham (near Brighton,Sussex). He studied the liberal arts at Paris and at Oxford, where he became master of arts. He entered the Franciscan order on or shortly after 1250. He was sent to Paris to study theology, where he became regent master of theology (1269-71). Thereafter he functioned as regent master at Oxford (1271-1274).

He was elected provincial minister of England in 1274 and was lector at the papal curia between 1277-79 (during which period a provincial vicar took care of his provincial obligations). On 25 January 1279, Pope Nicholas III appointed him to the archepiscopal see of Canterbury. He died at Mortlake, on 8 December 1292, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral.

Work

Pecham took an active part in the struggle with the secular masters (of arts) at the university of Paris. He defended the Franciscan positions of poverty, and argued against Robert Kilwardby’s denigration of the Franciscan way of life. He supported Stephen Tempier in 1277 condemning the Averroist positions of Thomas Aquinas. As archbishop, he was very involved with issues of pastoral care (witness his Lambeth Constitutions).

He wrote many scientific and theological works (. A.o. Perspectiva communis, Quodlibeta, Trinitatis officium, sermons, hymns, poems (o.a. Philomena), letters). Citations in the Apocalypse commentary of John Russel, which have been identified by Beryl Smalley, suggest Pecham also wrote an Apocalypse commentary (see Joannes Russel, Comment. in.Apoc. ms Oxford, Merton College 172ff. 107vb, 108ra, 108vb, 109rb). Nothing is known about the whereabouts of thiswork. According to the Lanercost chronicle, Pecham introduced the practice of holding quodlibetal questions at the University of Oxford (primus omnium disputavit in facultate theologiae de quolibet). See on this innovation (and his later quodlibetal activities at the papal curia esp. Piron (2006).

Canticum Pauperis Fr.Johannis Pecham sec. codices mss. edita, Bibliotheca Franciscana Ascetica Medii Aevi IV (Quaracchi, 1905), 133-205. The last part of the Canticum (pp. 197-205 in the 1905 edition) is sometimes also found separately as the Forma Vitae Fratrum Minorum, a.o. in MS Rome, St.-Isidoro Cod. 1/73. The Canticum amounts to an explanation, a defence and a recommendation of the Franciscan way of life, aiming to guide the soul in its search for true happiness. In the work, an old teacher guides a pupil, helping him to overcome obstacles and helping him to withstand the criticism of enemies (such as seccular clerics who denounce the mendicant way of life)]
