John of Garland

John of Garland was born in England, and studied at Oxford and then at the medieval University of Paris, where he was teaching by 1220.

He lived and taught on the Left Bank at the Clos de Garlande, after which Rue Galande is named.

[citation needed] The main facts of his life are stated in his long poem De triumphis ecclesiae ("On the triumphs of the Church").

[1] His poem Epithalamium Beatae Mariae Virginis was presented in 1230 to the Papal legate Romanus de Sancto Angelo, one of the founders of the university.

Garland's grammatical works were much used in England, and were often printed by Richard Pynson and Wynkyn de Worde.
