Pierre d’Ailly (1350–1420)

Pierre d’Ailly (1350–1420), also known as Petrus de Alliaco, a French theologian and cardinal, was a key figure in addressing the Great Schism in the Church. Born in Compiègne, he studied at the Collège de Navarre in Paris, earning a master’s degree in 1368.

D’Ailly became involved in university and church affairs early, serving as rector of the University of Paris in 1384 and later as chancellor. His ecclesiastical career advanced rapidly, becoming Bishop of Le Puy in 1395 and Bishop of Cambrai in 1397. D’Ailly played a significant role in the Council of Pisa (1409) and the Council of Constance (1414–1418), contributing to efforts to resolve the Schism.

He also wrote extensively on astrology, attempting to balance divine omniscience and human free will. His work Imago Mundi (1410), a cosmographical treatise, influenced Christopher Columbus and placed his views on the Schism within an apocalyptic context. D’Ailly died in Avignon in 1420.
