- ‘De paupertate Christi,’ a subject much discussed in the time of Clement V.

Anglici liber propugnatorius super primum librum Sententiarum contra Joannem ordinis Minoritani.’
This list is given by Quétif and Echard on the authority of Ludovicus Valleoletanus. Sextus Lambertus, a Dominican of Lucca, believed that he had discovered the last, and published it at Venice, 1611, fol., ‘Commentarii super Psalmos F. Thomæ Anglici ordinis Prædicatorum, Sanctæ Romanæ Ecclesiæ Cardinalis et episcopi Sabinensis;’ but this is undoubtedly the commentary of Thomas Walleys. To Walleys also belong the commentaries on Genesis, Proverbs, and Song of Songs, on St. Augustine's ‘De Civitate Dei’ and ‘De Statu Animarum post mortem,’ as well as a treatise, ‘Adversus Iconoclastes,’ and some other tracts given by Cave to our author. Of less certain authorship are:
- ‘De Conceptione beatæ Virginis.’
- ‘Super Boethium de Consolatione Philosophiæ et de Doctrina Scholarium.’ These commentaries have been falsely assigned to St. Thomas Aquinas. Ceillier attributes them to an Englishman named Thomas, and says that the ‘Consolation’ was printed with these notes at Louvain in 1484, 1487, 1495, and 1499, and at Lyons in 1514.
- ‘De Concordantia Librorum S. Thomæ de Aquino;’ possibly the treatise printed among St. Thomas's minor works, and which is certainly not by him. Cave also gives, with other certainly spurious works,
- ‘Interpretatio Metamorphoseos Ovidianæ secundum Sensum Moralem,’ Paris, 1509. 5. ‘De Quattuor Prædicabilibus ad omne Genus Humanum’ (MS. Pemb. Coll. Cambr. 87).

JORZ or JORSE, WALTER (fl. 1306), archbishop of Armagh, was a Dominican of Oxford. Like Thomas Jorz [q. v.], his brother, he is doubtfully said to have been a disciple of Albertus Magnus, and a fellow-student with Thomas Aquinas. He was authorised to hear confessions in the diocese of Lincoln in 1300, and appears to have been confessor to Edward I. In 1306 Jorse was in Italy, and was there consecrated archbishop of Armagh by Pope Clement V. Edward I regarded the Italian consecration as an acknowledgment on Jorz's part of the pope's right to exercise greater authority over the Church of England than he approved. Jorz was fined for his action, and much delay ensued before he was admitted to his see. Pope Clement V wrote to the clergy of Armagh recommending submission to Jorz in 1307. Jorz became involved in a controversy concerning the jurisdiction which archbishops of Armagh endeavoured to assert in the province of Dublin. He resigned the see in 1307, and is stated to have been buried at Genoa. A second brother, Roland, was promoted by the pope to the see of Armagh in 1311, and resigned the office on 20 March 1321. Walter Jorz is said to have written ‘Promptuarium Theologiæ,’ ‘De Peccatis in genere,’ ‘Quæstiones Variæ,’ ‘Theologiæ Summa,’ and ‘De Peccato originali,’ but none of these works are known to be extant.

JOSCELIN. [See Goscelin and Jocelin.]
JOSCELYN or JOSSELIN, JOHN (1529–1603), Latin secretary to Archbishop Parker and Anglo-Saxon scholar, was third surviving son of Sir Thomas Josselin of Hyde Hall, Hertfordshire, and High Roding, Essex, a direct descendant from Sir Thomas Jocelyn, who was knighted in 1229, and belonged to an ancient family of Brittany. John matriculated at the age of sixteen as a pensioner at Queens' College, Cambridge, and graduated B.A. 1548–9, and M.A. in 1552. When only twenty he was in 1549 elected a fellow of Queens'. In 1551–2 he was Latin lecturer at his college, Greek lecturer in 1551–2 and again in 1555–6, dean of philosophy in 1552, and bursar from 1555 to 1557. He subscribed the Roman catholic articles in 1555, but resigned his fellowship in 1557, whether from religious scruples is not stated. He was afterwards a strong protestant. On Parker's elevation to the archbishopric of Canterbury (1558), Joscelyn entered his household as Latin secretary. Parker also instituted him to a prebend in Hereford Cathedral, on 4 Oct. 1560, which he resigned in 1577, on receiving the living of
