Thomas de Hibernia

Thomas de Hibernia (fl. 1270) was an Irish theologian.

Not to be confused with Thomas of Ireland.

Said to be a native of Palmerstown, County Kildare, he became a Franciscan, and Fellow of Sorbonne, Paris. In later life, he moved to Italy, dying ca. 1296 in the "Convent of Aquila, in the Province of Penin."

On his death-bed he bequeathed his books and papers to the Sorbonne, "together with six pounds for the purpose of purchasing a rent to celebrate his anniversary."

Lampen, a Franciscan, argues that Thomas Palmeranus, Thomas Hibernicus and Thomas Palmerstonus are the same person.
