Robert de Bardis

It is likely that the papal commission which prosecuted Nicholas of Autrecourt acquired information from the Bishop of Paris and de Bardis.^[3]

In the spring of 1347 the examination of the ideas of John of Mirecourt began in response to a letter to the university from Pope Clement VI. After charges were brought against him, John of Mirecourt presented the written text of Lectura. de Bardis submitted the text to a select group of regent masters who were given the work of evaluation. The task was a two-stage process which was similar to the proceedings against William of Ockham which took place at Avignon. The language of the official list and condemnation has survived.^[4]
