Two pieces in the French National Archives, the one Latin, the other French, read Vaurillon; while this form is found also in the catalogue of the library of Jean d'Orleans: De anima Vaurillon7, and is adopted by d'Argentn~ 8 • On the other hand, apart from the register of Basel, Vorillon appears only after William's death; e.g., in a retraction made at Cambrai in 1466; in a manuscript of John Findling, O.F.M. (Ingolstadt, 1512-1516) 9 ; and in a late copy of the obituary of Chateauroux. d) Mi s c e 11 an e o us form s From Vaurillon or Vorillon are derived a number of variants in both manuscript and printed sources: Vorrilong (ed. 1496); Varrilion, before 15031°; Vorrilon, Vorrillon and Vorrilong (all in edition of 1510); Varallon 11 ; Vorilio11 12 ; Vorilongus, Varilongus, and Forleon 13 • Before one opts for one form of William's name - a form that 7 Cf.

As a result, Luke Wadding was led to distin– guish between William Vorilongus and William Forleon, in Scriptores Minorum, Romae 1650, 152b and 157b.
