William Briton or Breton (died 1356) was a Breton Franciscan theologian. John Bale places his death in 1356 at Grimsby.
Briton's works, enumerated by Bale, are principally concerned with dialectics. He is remembered, however, for his 'Vocabularium Bibliæ,' a treatise explanatory of obscure words in the Scriptures. The prologue and some other components are in Latin verse. These, with supplemental specimens, were printed by Angelo Maria Bandini.[1] Extracts are given by Ducange.[2]
