Death Documents of Petrus Thomae

A slow day, so here are the final historical records of Petrus Thomae. He was busted for fortune-telling and necromancy, and thrown into the papal prison at Noves, south of Avignon, where he died ca. 1340.

From Brady's article, "the Later Years of Petrus Thomae," p.255-6:

Item, cum dilectus magister Fulco laborasset pluribus diebus et mensibus
scribendo processus et scripturas inquisitionis factae contra fratem Petrum
Thomae poenitentiarium, Garinum de Layto Pisiensem, sortilegos et nigromaticos,
Bertrandum de Narbona falsarium et relegatum..., solvimus eidem magister
Fulconi pro salario suo et scripturis ac labore V florenos auri.

p. 57:

Oct. 13 [1340]. Eadem die idem dominus Guillermos Bos de bonis quondam fratris
Petri Hispani, condemnati et mortui in carceribus Novarum, per ipsum receptis
camerae praedictae assignavit: 8 flor. auri, 14 den. Tur. gross., 7 regali auri,
2 sol., 5 den., Iulhat. arg.

Somehow that doesn't sound like a lot of money.

He was a Franciscan, after all.
