Who was Haymo of Faversham?

Haymo of Faversham, O.F.M., was an English Franciscan and scholar of Scholasticism, born at Faversham, Kent, and died at Anagni, Italy, circa 1243. Following the custom in the Middle Ages to designate the more celebrated among the doctors by certain epithets, he is called Inter Aristotelicos Aristotelicissimus. He had already acquired fame as a lecturer in the University of Paris and also as a preacher when he entered the Order of Friars Minor, probably in 1224 or 1225. He became the Minister General of Order.
