Guillaume de Paris (ca. 1180-1249)
French prelate and philosopher who was rumored by some demonologists to have made talking statues, like those made by Roger Bacon, a thing which, it was believed, could only be done by diabolical agency. Similar legends have been told of other individuals, often as a kind of tribute to their reputation as wise men.
