Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
or a French prelate and canon, was born of an illustrious family of Lodeve. He was successively archdeacon of Nimes, provost of the Church of Toulouse, archbishop of Embrun about 1295, and was made cardinal and bishop of Palestine in 1312 by Clement V. In 1296 he was charged by Boniface VIII with composing the sixth book of the Decretals, together with Berenger de Fredol and Richard of Sienna, to whom was added, some time later, Dinus, a professor of the Roman. law at Bologna. Guillaume composed, about 1300, the Summa Libelli Electionum, avery peculiar work, which contains some interesting details on the Church of Toulouse. Some time afterwards it was revised by John Andreae, and dedicated to Berenger (Cologne, 1573). Guillame died at Avignon in November 1321. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
