Nicole Oresme
1. Life
Nicole Oresme was born around 1320 in the diocese of Bayeux in Normandy, possibly in the village of Allemagne (now Fleury-sur-Orne) on the outskirts of the Norman city of Caen (Burton 2007, 6). By 1341/42 he had obtained his master of arts at the University of Paris and was probably teaching philosophy there (Courtenay 2000, 544; Burton 2007, 7). In 1348 his name appears on a list of graduate scholarship holders in theology at the College of Navarre at the University of Paris. Oresme became Grand Master of the College in 1356, so he must have completed his doctorate in theology before this date. Oresme held this position till 1362 and was teaching master in the faculty of theology during that time (Burton 2007, 10).

Nicholas Oresme, c.1320-1382.
Nicolas Oresme (sometimes Nicole de Oresme or Nicolaus Oresmus) was a Medieval French Scholastic philosopher, mathematician and scientist.
Originally of humble background from Normandy, Oresme studied theology with Jean Buridan in Paris. Oresme was enrolled in the royal-subsidized College of Navarre in Paris, acquiring his master of arts before 1348 and made master of theology around 1356. He remained as grand master of the College of Navarre until around 1361, when he became a canon and later dean of the cathedral of Rouen. In Christmas 1363, he pronounced an energetic discourse, denouncing ecclesiastical luxury and corruption, before the Pope Urban V and the Sacred College in Avignon, that nearly got him accused of heresy (the discourse was frequently reproduced by later Protestant writers). He wrote numerous treatises against astrology, a series of summaries of natural sciences and a significant christological treatise, De communicatione idiomatum. Oresme is commonly credited as one of
