Teólogo, nascido em Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire, Inglaterra, data incerta; morreu em Tournai, 1572 ou 1577. Recebeu sua educação inicial através de seu tio, Thomas Dorman de Agmondesham, hoje Amersham, Buckinghamshire. Seu mestre em Berkhampstead foi Richard Reeve, um notável professor protestante. Ele também era conhecido por Thomas Harding, o erudito católico, então professor de hebraico em Oxford, que se interessou muito pelo jovem e o enviou para a escola de Winchester em 1547. De Winchester, Dorman foi para o New College em Oxford, do qual Harding era membro, e aqui foi eleito um membro em período probatório. Durante o renascimento católico sob Maria, foi nomeado membro do All Souls College (1554) e, em 9 de julho de 1558, obteve o grau de B.C.L. Um ou dois anos após a ascensão de Elizabeth, percebendo que não poderia viver na Inglaterra sem se conformar à nova religião, ele sacrificou sua bolsa e seu patrimônio e foi para Antuérpia, onde encontrou Harding, que também era um exilado pela Fé. Harding o convenceu a retomar seus estudos, e Dorman, consequentemente, foi para Louvain e dedicou-se ao estudo da teologia. Em 1565, tornou-se B.D. na Universidade de Douai e finalmente recebeu o doutorado lá. Durante esse período, envolveu-se em controvérsias com os teólogos anglicanos, Jewel, Bispo de Salisbury, e Nowell, Reitor de St. Paul's. Em 1569, a convite do Dr. Allen, uniu-se ao grupo de estudiosos do recém-fundado Colégio Inglês em Douai, que ele ajudou tanto com seus serviços quanto com seus meios privados. Morreu em Tournai, onde havia recebido um importante benefício. Suas obras são: "A proufe of certeyne articles in Religion denied by M. Juel" (Antuérpia, 1564); "A Disproufe of M. Nowelle's Reproufe" (Antuérpia, 1565); "A Request to Mr. Jewel that he keep his promise made by solemn Protestation in his late Sermon at Paul's Cross" (Londres, 1567; Louvain, 1567).
Theologian, b. at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire, England, date uncertain; d. at Tournai, 1572 or 1577. He received his early education through his uncle, Thomas Dorman of Agmondesham, now Amersham, Buckinghamshire. His master at Berkhampstead was Richard Reeve, a noted Protestant schoolmaster. He was also known to Thomas Harding, the Catholic scholar, then professor of Hebrew at Oxford, who took great interest in the boy and sent him to Winchester school in 1547. From Winchester Dorman went to New College at Oxford, of which Harding was a fellow, and here he was elected a probationer fellow. During the Catholic revival under Mary he was appointed fellow of All Souls College (1554) and on 9 July, 1558, took the degree B.C.L. A year or two after Elizabeth's accession, finding that he could not live in England without conforming to the new religion, he sacrificed his fellowship and his patrimony and went to Antwerp, where he met Harding who was also an exile for the Faith. Harding persuaded him to resume his studies, and Dorman accordingly went to Louvain and devoted himself to the study of theology. In 1565 he became B.D. in the University of Douai and finally received the doctorate there. During this period he engaged in controversy with the Anglican divines, Jewel, Bishop of Salisbury, and Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's. In 1569, at the invitation of Dr. Allen, he joined the band of scholars at the newly founded English College at Douai which he assisted both by his services and his private means. He died at Tournai where he had been given an important benefice. His works are: "A proufe of certeyne articles in Religion denied by M. Juel" (Antwerp, 1564); "A Disproufe of M. Nowelle's Reproufe" (Antwerp, 1565); "A Request to Mr. Jewel that he keep his promise made by solemn Protestation in his late Sermon at Paul's Cross" (London, 1567; Louvain, 1567).
