The latter came to the convent in c. 1236 from Cambridge where he had been since 1230 when the Order began to turn its attention to academic studies. London was a studium particulare where students devoted at least two years to logic and natural philosophy before moving on to a university [n2182]. In the late thirteenth century the London school helped to absorb some of the numerous foreign students in the Oxford Franciscan convent. By then it had become the main school of the London custody. Following the reforms of Benedict XII the convent became one of the twenty-one provincial studies which students had to attend before moving on to a university. The students, who were expected to read the quatuor libros Sententiarum cum scriptis approbatorum doctorum, were taught by a cursor bibliae chosen from one of the English custodies [n2183]. Prominent teachers in the fourteenth century gave a high profile to the school which was given a new building in the 1370s. Although it was not linked to a university and could not confer academic degrees the London Franciscn school had the statur os a studium generale in the fifteenth century. The presence of six friars with academic degrees at the time of the dissolution may indicate that the school was still functioning in the 1530s[n2184].
• [p. 487 – Thomas Hales probably succeeded Vincent of Coventry as lector. Can be regarded as one of those Franciscan academics who turned the Newgate convent into the province's third school after Oxford and Cambridge even though it obtained status as general study only in 1336. "Before 1270 Robert de Turnham taught theology here and it is likely that Thomas Rondel, after his time in Oxford and Paris, was one of his successors." Also Thomas of Eccleston is probably the most prominent writer to be at Greyfriars.

• "In 1533, the king appears to have entrusted Leland with a document, "a moste gratius commission" (or principis diploma as he called it in Latin), which authorized him to examine and use the libraries of all religious houses in England.[10] Leland spent the next few years travelling from house to house, for the most part shortly before they were dissolved, compiling numerous lists of significant or unusual books in their libraries.[11] In c.1535, he met the ex-Carmelite churchman and fellow antiquary John Bale, who much admired his work and offered his assistance.[2]" [2]
