Jean de Garlande

Jean de Garlande , known as also Gerlandus or Hortulanus , born towards 1190 in England, deceased after 1252, is a professor of grammar and music.

Biography

He makes studies with Oxford, then sign the music with Paris. In 1229, it is invited to teach with University of Toulouse which has just been founded by the cardinal Romain de Bonaventure to which it dedicates a treaty entitled Epithalamium Beatae Virginis Mariae , and writes triumphis ecclesiae which is an apology for the triumph of the faith on the heresy cathare, as well as a circular leaflet of the studies inviting all the Master and the schoolboy of North to come to be established in Toulouse.

The grammatical trilogy which comes to close its Ars lectoria ecclesiae (1234) is a versified treaty that one can bring closer to the Doctrinale of Alexandre de Villedieu and Graecismus of Évrard de Béthune a little former and whose it gave a glose.

In 1234, it returns to Paris.

It is possible that the grammairien and the musician are two homonyms.
