As throughout his career, he did not act as rector, employing a substitute and using the income from the living to finance his study in Paris, where he completed his lectures on Peter Lombard's Sentences, and probably encountered the work of his contemporary William of Ockham.
Tokom svoje karijere, on nije radio kao rektor, već je unajmljivao nekoga da ga zameni i prihode od toga je koristio da isfinansira svoje studije u Parizu, gde je završio svoje studije o delu Sentences (Presude) autora Petera Lombarda i gde se najverovatnije sreo sa radovima njegovog vršnjaka Vilijama Okamskog.
