Guido von Valence (lat. Guido de Valentia) war der Bischof von Tripolis, dem Philippus Tripolitanus in der ersten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts seine Übersetzung des Secretum secretorum widmete. Da Valencia in der Jugendzeit Guidos unter muslimischer Herrschaft stand, kommt als Herkunftsort am wahrscheinlichsten Valence in Frage. Es ist unbekannt, welche Funktionen Guido vor seinem Bischofsamt ausübte. Steven J. Williams nennt, ausgehend von damals üblichen Karrierewegen, zwei verschiedene Personen, mit denen er identifiziert werden könnte: einen 1207 erwähnten Archidiakon von Caesarea Magister Guido, oder den 1222 bis 1226 als päpstlicher Kaplan und Notar tätigen Magister Guido.

Guy (or Guido) of Valence was a bishop of Tripoli whose episcopate probably fell in the period 1228–1237. He is an obscure figure, whose name is known only from the prologue of Philip of Tripoli's Latin translation of the Pseudo-Aristotelian Secretum secretorum, in which he dedicates the work "to his most excellent lord Guido, originally of Valence, glorious pontiff of the city of Tripoli, most strenuous in the cultivation of the Christian religion." rdf:langString

Wolfgang Antweiler zufolge, kam Guido vielleicht im Gefolge des Patriarchen Gerold, zuvor Bischof von Valence, ins Heilige Land. Pierre-Vincent Claverie gibt an, Guy sei mit seinem Bruder Brelon während des Fünften Kreuzzugs aus der Region des heutigen Département Drôme in den Orient gekommen. In dem 1237 in einer Urkunde Papst Gregors IX. als verstorben genannten Bischof G. von Tripolis vermutete Wolfgang Antweiler Guido von Valence, in der älteren Forschung ergänzte man den Namen zu Gaufrid, einem seiner Amtsvorgänger. Ein 1244 genannter Johannes de Valentia, der Schwierigkeiten hatte, sein Amt als Prior des Stifts St. Michael in Tripolis anzutreten, könnte ein Verwandter des Guido von Valence gewesen sein.
rdf:langString Guy (or Guido) of Valence was a bishop of Tripoli whose episcopate probably fell in the period 1228–1237. He is an obscure figure, whose name is known only from the prologue of Philip of Tripoli's Latin translation of the Pseudo-Aristotelian Secretum secretorum, in which he dedicates the work "to his most excellent lord Guido, originally of Valence, glorious pontiff of the city of Tripoli, most strenuous in the cultivation of the Christian religion." Guy was from Valence. He may have been related to the John of Valence, canon of Tripoli, who was elected prior of the cathedral in 1244. In his prologue, Philip praises Guy's learning: "the clarity of your genius and the depth of your knowledge in letters exceeds that of all contemporaries on this side of the sea [i.e., Outremer], whether Latins or natives. . . [Y]ou are most learned in the liberal arts, the most expert in things legal and ecclesiastical, the most learned in things moral and divine." This flattery strongly suggests that Guy was a highly educated man, and the most probable place of his study was the studium specializing in Roman law within the in Valence. Guy may have come east on the Fifth Crusade with his brother Berlon. Other identifications have been proposed. He may be the Master Guy who was archdeacon of Caesarea in 1207, or the Master Guy who was a notary and acting vice-chancellor in the papal chancery in 1222–1226. If this is so, he may have first met Philip of Tripoli, himself a former chancery official, in Rome. Possibly he came to the Holy Land with Gerold of Lausanne, the bishop of Valence who was appointed patriarch of Jerusalem in 1225. Philip's translation was made no later than the 1240s, which provides a terminus ante quem for Guy's pontificate. There are many gaps in the reconstructed list of bishops of Tripoli in the first half of the 13th century. Guy's pontificate most likely falls after that of Bishop Robert, attested in March–July 1228, since Philip only became a canon of Tripoli in 1227. The next named bishop is Albert, installed in 1243 after a period of vacancy. Thus, Guy probably became bishop in late 1228 or 1229, and his death may have occurred as early as 1232 or perhaps in late 1236 or early 1237. In May 1237, Pope Gregory IX refers to a deceased bishop of Tripoli with the initial G., which may have been the recently deceased Guy of Valence. According to Philip of Tripoli's account, he and Guy discovered an Arabic manuscript of the Secretum on a visit to Antioch and Guy urged him to translate it. This probably took place in or about 1230. It is unclear who initiated the search for the manuscript or if that was their purpose in Antioch.
