ORESME, NICOLAS (c. 1320-1382)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 253 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORESME, NICOLAS (c. 1320-1382) , French
bishop
 , celebrated for his numerous works in both French and Latin on scholastic, scientific and political questions, was. born in Normandy at the opening of the 14th century. In 1348 he was a student in the college of Navarre at Paris, of which he became head in 1356. In 1361 he was named dean of the
cathedral
  of Rouen. Charles V. had him appointed
bishop
  of Lisieux on the 16th of November 1377. He died in that city on the 11th of July 1382. One of his works, of
great
  importance for the history of economic conceptions in the middle ages, was the De origine, natura, lure et mutationibus monetarum, of which there is also a French edition.
Oresme
  was the author of several works on
astrology
 , in which he showed its falseness as a science and denounced its practice. At the request of Charles V. he translated the Ethics, Politics and Economics of Aristotle. In December 1363 he preached before Urban V. a sermon on reform in the
church
 , so severe in its arraignment that it was often brought forward in the 16th century by
Protestant
  polemists.
