=== Dialogue (c. 1334-46) ===
The book pretends to be a transcript made by a mature student of lengthy discussions between himself and a university master about the various opinions of the learned on the matters disputed between John XXII and the dissident Franciscans. The student is the initiator; he chooses the topics, asks the questions and decides when he has heard enough. The master is, so to speak, an expert witness whom the student examines.
