Henry of Ghent (Henricus Gandavus). Known as the doctor Solemnis, Henry of Ghent was born in the district of Mude, nearby Ghent, and died in Tournai (or Paris). It is said he belonged to an Italian family called Bonicolli, in Goethals in Flanders, but the question of his name has been much discussed. He studied in Ghent and then in Cologne under Albertus Magnus. After earning the degree of doctor he returned to Ghent, and is said to have been the first one to the confer there publicly in the fields of philosophy and theology. The fame of the Parisian university attracted him, and he took part in the many disputes between the orders and the secular priests, and he heartily defended the priests.
