Kilwardby, Robert
Kilwardby, Robert (c.1210–79). Dominican scholar, archbishop of Canterbury, and cardinal. Educated at Paris, Kilwardby taught grammar and logic before becoming a Dominican friar (c.1240). Later by upholding traditional scholasticism against the new Aristotelianism he was Aquinas's foremost opponent, though a fellow-Dominican. As occupant of the Oxford Dominican chair (1248–61) and provincial prior of the English Dominicans, he was energetic, establishing eleven new priories. Appointed archbishop by the pope in 1272, he was the first English friar to hold high office, but, little involved politically, he was on good terms with Edward I. Of moderate temper, his primacy was overshadowed by clerical grievances over crusading taxation. He made regular provincial visitations and held frequent synods. He ‘visited’ Oxford (1277) and, like Peckham, denounced its Thomism. To move him from Canterbury, the pope elevated him to the curia as cardinal-bishop of Porto (1278). He died at Viterbo.

Kilwardby, Robert
Kilwardby, Robert (d. 1279), Abp. of Canterbury from 1273 to 1278, when he was made a cardinal and translated to Porto in Italy. He had been a Master of Arts at Paris, entered the Dominican Order, and studied theology at Oxford. In 1277 he visited Oxford and in conjunction with the Masters of the University condemned 30 propositions in grammar, logic, and natural philosophy. Some of the condemnations were directed mainly against views maintained by St Thomas Aquinas on the unity of form. Kilwardby's own works include the ‘De ortu scientiarum’, a classification of knowledge largely based on Aristotle; a commentary on the ‘Sentences’ of Peter Lombard; and treatises on relation, time, imagination, and conscience.
