Biography/Description |
|
Jesselinus was born before 1300, probably in the south of France. He was teaching law at Montpellier by 1317. In 1323 he moved to Avignon where he became the chaplain of Cardinal Arnaud de Via to whom he dedicated his three commentaries. In a document of 1323 he is mentioned as papal chaplain. From 1325 to 1335 Jesselinus was involved in the workings of the curia as an executor of papal letters. He received many benefices and he was also named a member of the Rota; this appointment took effect by 1326. He did not advance further in his career, probably because of his old age and poor health, and not because of the controversies arising from Jesselin’s ideas on the papacy. |
