More recently James Ginther (Ginther 2000) has argued that Grosseteste became regent master of theology ca. 1229/30, around the time he became lecturer to the Oxford Franciscans. Ginther claims that Grosseteste’s Dictum 19 in fact records Grosseteste’s inception sermon at Oxford as regent master of theology. Brett Smith (Smith 2018, n. 34), however, has recently expressed some doubts over Ginther’s claims, and the question of Grosseteste’s career before ca. 1229/30 remains unresolved among scholars.
