Zoen Tencarari[1] was an Italian canon lawyer, papal vice-legate, and bishop of Avignon from 1240 to about 1261. He taught at the University of Bologna,[2] where in 1256 he founded a college.[3] He glossed the Compilatio quinta, and brought Henry of Segusio to the see of Sisteron.[4]

He was a strong opponent of the Albigensians.[5] He presided at the Council of Albi of 1254.[6]

He had work done to improve the residence of the bishops at Noves.[7]
