Everything about John Of Jandun totally explained
John of Jandun (d.
1328) was an
Averroist philosopher,
theologian, and political writer. He was born at
Jandun in the
Ardennes, in what is now
Belgium. He was a leading interpreter of
Aristotle and philosopher at
Paris, and has traditionally been cited as co-author with
Marsilius of Padua of
Defensor Pacis. It is now doubted by most scholars, for example by
Quentin Skinner, whether he did indeed write the first part of that treatise (on internal evidence, with Skinner interpreting the content in relation to Italian politics outside the Parisian's experience).
He is also credited with writing the first tourist guide to Paris.
According to the
Catholic Encyclopedia, which calls him
John of Janduno, he was born about the year 1300, graduated in arts at the
Collège de Navarre in Paris, and wrote a work entitled "De Laudibus Parisiis." It also considers him as distinct from
John of Gand. Confusion is also possible with
Jean de Gand, the French name of
John of Gaunt.
