Guillaume Durand, also known as William Durand or Durandus, was a French canonist, liturgical scholar and bishop of Mende who lived from about 1230 to 1296. Born near Beziers, he studied law at Bologna under Bernard of Botone and by about 1264 was teaching canon law at Modena. Pope Clement IV brought him to the papal court as a chaplain and auditor, and he took part in the Second Council of Lyons in 1274, helping draft its constitutions. He later served as a papal legate and governor in Romagna and the March of Ancona before becoming bishop of Mende in 1286. His major legal work, the Speculum iudiciale, compiled in 1271 and revised in 1286 and 1291, brought together Roman and canon law procedure across civil, criminal and contractual matters and earned him the title Doctor Speculator. He also wrote the Rationale divinorum officiorum, a treatise on the symbolism of Christian liturgy. He died in Rome in 1296.
