Text in Latin
First written in 1311, by command of Clement V and in connection with the Council of Vienne, De modo celebrandi concilii et corruptelis in Ecclesia reformandis, is a landmark work on Conciliarism Theory in the Catholic Church.
It is a treatise on the canonical process of summoning and holding general councils, gathered from approved sources with many quotations and illustrations from the Church Fathers and from church history, together with attacks on various abuses and corruptions that were being commited by the Church in the 14th century.
One particular proposal for the reform of the church among the many he submitted to the Council of Vienne (1311–12) in his Tractatus was “that the pope ought no longer to be permitted to pass or alter any laws without having consulted a general council, and that such councils were to meet every ten years.”

Guillaume Durand, or William Durand (c. 1230 – 1296), also known as Durandus, Duranti or Durantis, from the Italian form of Durandi filius, as he sometimes signed himself, was a French canonist and liturgical writer, and Bishop of Mende
