Sophilogium containing 12 books arranged in three
sections, all concerning sciences, virtures and human

Jacques Legrand was probably born in Toulouse between
1360 and 1370. He entered the Augustinian monastery
there, and attended its studium generale
(international house of studies). He then completed
his education at the reknowned Augustinian studium
generale in Paris.
