Robert Grosseteste

An early 14th-century portrait of Grosseteste<ref>''Brev. Hist. Ang. Scot.'' &c. ([https://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/record.asp?MSID=18837&CollID=8&NStart=3860 Harleian MS 3860], f. 48).</ref> Robert Grosseteste, ', ', or ') or the gallicised Robert Grosstête ( ; or '). Also known as Robert of Lincoln (, ', &c.) or Rupert of Lincoln (, &c.).}} ( ; ; 8 or 9 October 1253), also known as Robert Greathead or Robert of Lincoln''', was an English statesman, scholastic philosopher, theologian, scientist and Bishop of Lincoln. He was born of humble parents in Suffolk (according to the early 14th-century chronicler Nicholas Trevet), but the associations with the village of Stradbroke is a post-medieval tradition. Upon his death, he was revered as a saint in England, but attempts to procure a formal canonisation failed. A. C. Crombie called him "the real founder of the tradition of scientific thought in medieval Oxford, and in some ways, of the modern English intellectual tradition". As a theologian, however, he contributed to increasing hostility to Jews and Judaism, and spread the accusation that Jews had purposefully suppressed prophetic knowledge of the coming of Christ, through his translation of the ''Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs''.
