¶ John Bromyard (d. c. 1352) was an influential English Dominican friar. In his Summa praedicantiumhe shows a less austere sense of the preacher's office, and includes sermon material of every description. Although not an original thinker, Bromyard was a venomous and effective critic of abuses and vanities in all areas of ecclesiastical and secular life. The Summa praedicantium remained popular during the sixteenth century and after. (ODNB).
