Adam Abell (ca. 1475/80?–1537?)

OMObs & OFM. English Franciscan friar from Salt Preston, Haddingtonshire. All biographical information concerning him comes from his universal chronicle, entitled The Roit or Quheill of Tyme. Based on the remarks in that text, it would seem that he received his childhood education in the , Augustinian abbey of Holyrood near Edinburgh, where a family member of his, namely Robert Bellentyne, was abbot, or at the Canongate grammar school serviced by the same abbey. Around the age of 20, Abell was a professed Augustinian regular canon regular at Inchaffray Abbey (Perthshire). Sometime during his years there, or even before, he obtained a proper grounding in canon law. After a number of years, Abell found the religious discipline in Inchaffray Abbey insufficient, and he began to apply for a transfer to a more strict religious community. A request to this purpose is still preserved in a penitentiary act in Rome (16 June 1508). This did not immediately bear fruit, for in June 1510 he was still at Inchaffray. Eventually, Abell left Inchaffray for the Observant Franciscan friary of Jedburgh, founded between 1505 and 1513. After his transfer to Jedburgh, Abell wrote his only surviving work, The Roit or Quheill of Tyme, a universal chronicle, which survived in a single manuscript now kept in the National Library of Scotland (MS 1746). If we can believe Abell’s introduction, the work goes back to an earlier Latin version that has not survived. The bulk of the chronicle was finished by 1533, but continuations were inserted until 1537, when the text ends abruptly (possibly when the author died). The Roit or Quheill of Tyme starts with creation, and discusses biblical, classical, medieval, papal, and Scottish history, interspersing real facts with legendary elements. The work builds to a large extent on Eusebius, Peter Comestor's Historia scholastica, the Scotichronicon of Walter Bower, and Hector Boece's Scotorum historiae, but does not copy without selection, and the author is not afraid to put his own interpretation on events. Especially for Scottish history the work is important. It might be the last pre-reformation universal chronicle written in Scotland and it provides important information on the reigns of Scottish kings until 1537, as well as on issues of church history. He also is not afraid to condemn in an Observant fashion abuses concerning commenda situations and the accumulation of benefices.

Adam Anglicus (fl. 14th cent.)

OM. English friar. In fact, this ia a nebulous figure. Juan de San Antonio ascribes to this friar a Comm. super Epistolam ad Hebraeos, and other old bibliographers mention him as a degree student in Paris, who would have written a Sentences commentary. Some have argued that he is in fact a Dominican friar, and some identify him instead with Adam Woodham (Adam Goddam). In fact, aside from some vague references, nothing seems to be known about him with any certainty.

Adam de Dompmartin (fl. later 14^th cent.)

OM. French (Parisian) friar and the brother of Guillaume de Prato (who later was appointed archbishop of Cambalic in China on March 11^th, 1370). Adam entered the order in the French province. Reached the magisterium theologiae. Was then interrogated (30 September 1375) by other masters of the university regarding a translation of works by Marsilius of Padua. Between 1375 and 1381, he was provincial minister of the French province. On 20 July 1384, pope Clement VII nominated him for the episcopal see of Gubbio (Italy), yet Adam did not take up this position, as this diocese was also granted to Lorenzo Corvini by pope Urban VI. Nevertheless, Adam kept the title of bishop of Gubbio and received from pope Clement VII several privileges (to make up for this failed assignment?). Hence he received on 31 July 1384 papal permission to choose his own confessor and to hear confession from anybody who came to him for that purpose. He also received the power to bestow the doctorate in theology at the upcoming provincial chapter on any Friar Minor, as long as the candidate in question had spent the required time in a theology faculty, had taught the Sentences and was deemed worthy of the title after an examination by him and other Parisian masters of theology (an indirect way of creating additional magistri bullati). On August 4 of that same year, the pope gave him permission to stay in the private room built with alms money by his brother, the archbishop Guillaume, in the Parisian friary. One manuscript of John of Wales’ Collationes in Evangeliam Johannis now kept in the library of Reims was in Adam’s possession (`Hunc emit frater Adam, episcopus Eugubinus, a magistro Johanne Sicardi, ordinis Minorum Avinionensium’ MS Reims, 168 [check!]

Adam de Howden (Hoveden, Houden/ d. after 1306)

OM. English friar. Mentioned in 1290 and 1293 as a friar of the Oxford friary. By then, or shortly thereafter, he must already have started with his degree studies, for between 1298 and 1300 he is the regent lector in the Franciscan studium generale at Oxford (no. 28). He is one of the 22 friars presented on 26 July 1300 to the bishop by the provincial minister Hugh of Hertepole as candidates for hearing confessions in and around Oxford (and one of the eight candidates thereafter selected by the bishop). Between 1303 and 1306, he is regent lector at Cambridge (no. 29. Not without problems, however:. ‘repugnabat statutis universitatis Cantabrig.’>> He protested with the Dominican friar Nicholas of Dale against university statutes that were hostile to the mendicants, eventually appealing to the pope for help. Adam was temporarily excluded from the university, to be integrated again after a compromise settlement negociated by Cardinal Jorz). Several of his Sermones de tempore & de sanctis have survived.

Adam Goddamus (Adam Wodeham/Adam de Vodronio/Adam Woodham/Adam Godham, ca. 1298-1358, Babwell, England)

OM. English theologian and philosopher, and student of Ockham. Born in the neighbourhood of Southampton. Obtained his first education in logic, philosophy and theology in the London friary (possibly all the way up to the lectorate) between 1320 and 1324. Subsequently, between 1325 and 1329, he taught and studied philosophy and theology at the Franciscan studium in Oxford. Wodeham performed his Sentences lectures pro exercitio in the custodial school of Norwich, and also in the studium of London (on book 3 of the Sentences) in the late 1320s/early 1330s, prior to his acceptance in the Oxford degree program. Wodeham completed his Sentences lectures pro gradu at Oxford in 1333 of 1334, after which, as a baccalaureus sententiarum and baccalaureus formatus, he finished the necessary disputations to become master of theology. He became regent master of the Franciscan Oxford studium by 1338/1339. Due to his academic trajectory, Wodeham's Sentences commentary exists in three redactions. In the course of these, he formulated his own position towards Scotus and Ockham. Wodeham had been something of an assistant/apprentice to Ockham, during his stint in London, when Ockham was teaching logic and physics there. Wodeham's commentary circulated widely during the late medieval period (it was also abbreviated, for instance by Henry Totting of Oyta, in 1375 (in Prague or Paris?). He also wrote a Prologus to Ockham's Summa Logicae (1324/28), and questions concerning the quantity of the continuum. In his Tractatus de Indivisibilibus he argued against the Atomists. In June 1339, just after he had reached the magisterium theologiae, he seems to have visited Basel, possibly on the way back from the Franciscan general chapter in Italy, to sort out some issues regarding the Franciscan mystic Giacomo da Porta.

Adam Marsh (Adamus de Marisco, †1259)

OM. English friar and theologian. Born in the diocese of Bath, before 1200 (cousin of the bishop of Durham, Richard Marsh (d. 1226). Adam studied liberal arts at Oxford and was ordained priest. He subsequently obtained from his uncle a prebend in the parish of Wearmouth (eventually, the bishop also left Adam his library). Around the time of his uncle’s death, Adam decided to become Franciscan friar, partly at the instigation of Adam of Oxford. He took the habit at Worcester, and in the following years he embarked on a study of theology under the guidance of Robert Grosseteste (ca. 1232/33), the first teacher of the Franciscans at Oxford and later the bishop of Lincoln. Adam Marsh and Grosseteste became good friends (and eventually, Robert Grosseteste also would leave his library to Adam Marsh). In 1239, Adam accompanied his provincial minister Albert of Pisa to the general chapter of Assisi. There, and also at Perugia, Adam and several other friars attacked the politics of Elias of Cortona in the presence of pope Gregory IX. Between 1239 and 1244, Adam was a member of the committee of friars that came up with a commentary on the rule (Commentary of the Four Masters). In 1242/43, Adam incepted and possibly became the first Franciscan regent master of the Oxford studium (and not in 1247, as has been assumed until recently. see on this the new chronology of his life presented in the new edition of Adam's letters issued by C.H. Lawrence, vol. I, pp. xviff). In 1244/1245, Adam accompanied Robert Grosseteste to the Council of Lyon. During this sejourn in France, there seems to have been a possibility for Adam to become a regent master at Paris after the death of Alexander of Hales and John of La Rochele. At the instigation of Grosseteste, Adam Marsh did not embark on this path but returned to England. From 1250 onwards, Marsh became very active in English Church politics and engaged with matters of order administration, many elements of which shine through in his surviving correspondence.

works

Epistolae, ed. J.S. Brewer, in: Monumenta Franciscana, Rolls Series, 4 (London, 1858), I, 77-489; The Letters of Adam Marsh, ed. & trans. C. Hugh Lawrence, Oxford Medieval Texts, 2 Vols. (Oxford: Oxford UP, 2006-2010).Cf. AFH 99 (2006), 638f. In all 247 letters. Many of these letter have a spiritual import, elaborating spiritualis amicitia, christian perfection, and comparable issues. Some letters address specific issues of spiritual instruction. Hence, letter 8 (p. 89 in the Brewer edition) deals with the pastoral life (much like the famous letter to Sewald of York). Letter 159 to the Countess of Leicester (p. 294ff in the Brewer edition), in turn, is in fact a short and rather stern treatise on the domestic virtues of a wife: ‘Ex illa Dei sententia qua dicitur: Faciamus ei adiutorium simile sibi (Gen. 1, 26) evidenter intruimur, quia uxor viro districtissime tentur, et per vigoris constantiam, et per discretionis prudentiam, et per benignitatis clementiam, iugem iuvaminis impendere sedulitatem ad omnia in quibus, aut Deus colitur aut iuste vivitur, aut recte iudicatur. Propter quod omnis anima coniugalis, quae modis omnibus hoc implere non satagit, individuum vitae consortium, in quod secundum legem matrimonii intemerate servandum coniuravit, damnabiliter violare convincitur…’ (after which follow the sins and virtues of the domestic life). Letter 180 to the Franciscan provincial minister William of Nottingham deals with natural perfection, the perfect life for friars , described as a spiritual itinerary, and the means to pursue it, namely the cultivation of charity and the cultivation of virtues. Most famous of all is letter 247 to Sewald of York, mentioned above.

Epistola ad Sewallum (ca. 1256): MSS British Library, Cotton Vitellius C.VIII (second half 13th cent.); Oxford, Bodl., Digby 104 ff. 90r-101v.
This letter was included in J.S. Brewer (ed.) Monumenta Franciscana, Rolls Series, 4 (London, 1858), I, 438-489 (=epist. 247: letter to Sewald of York, amounting to a treatise on the duties of a bishop. In the course of this letter, in which Adam lists the good qualities and obligations of a pastor, Adam also lists the qualities that the bishop should inquire about in his flock. In the course of this, Adam also deals with the importance of prayer, elaborating in six short chapters on efficacious prayer and its effects (cf. Cantini (1948), 467.

Adam Sasboldus (Adam Sasbout, Adam Delfius, 21 December 1516- 21 March 1553)

OFM. Dutch friar. Born in Delft in a Patrician family as the second of nine children. Studied Latin and the liberal arts at the Latin school of Delft, among the Canons of St. Adrianus in Naaldwijk, and at the St. Hieronymus school of the Brethren of the Common Life in Utrecht (under Georgius Macropedius, alias Joris van Langhveldt). Continued his liberal arts studies in Louvain, where he became a student at the pedagogium Het Kasteel (the Castle) in 1534. He received the licence of the Arts on March 22, 1537, and soon afterwards became Master of Arts. He also studied theology (under Ruward Tapper and Joannes van der Eycken), was ordained priest in 1542, and became bachelor in theology. Around this time, while still very much enamoured by the classics and humanist letters, he began to suffer from consumption, and he returned for a while to his parental home in Delft (his mother had already died in (1540). After he had recovered sufficiently, he returned to Louvain, he became interested in a more religious lifestyle. After refusing prebends and a canon position in the St. Martin's church of Utrecht, he entered the Franciscan Louvain convent on 17 April 1544. He was allowed to profess, notwithstanding his precarious health, and taught Holy Scripture as Franciscan lector of theology at the Franciscan Studium Theologicum at Louvain and at the university between 1545 and his death in 1553 (one of the successors of Frans Titelmans (d. 1537). Prolific author of biblical commentaries and sermons. And teacher of Nicolaas Pieck and Daniël van Arendonck. Died rather early at the age of 36 on March 21, 1553. A biography was written by his nephew Sasbout Vosmeer (son of Adam's sister Margarita and later in life Apostolic Vicar)

works

Only a relatively small part of Adam's works were published before his death. After his demise, several admirors functioned as editors and translators of his works.

In Isaiam Prophetam Commentaria (Louvain: Antonius-Maria Bergagne, 1558/Louvain: Joannes Grapheus for Antonius-Maria Bergagne, 1563/Louvain: Joannes Grapheus for Jan Steels, 1563). In the introduction to this work, Sasbout fulminates against the allegorical interpretations cherished by late medieval commentators: Ille abusus Scripturae est maximus, tam libere pro cujusque ingenio et phantasia confingere allegorias. Hoc namque modo Scriptura sacra esset quasi lesbia regula, et eam quo quisque vellet, detorqueret. An autem tota Scriptura et singula et ejus verba exponenda sint secundum allegoriam, dubium est, vel potius dubium non est, quia hoc minime solidum est. Praeterea totam Scripturam tractare secundum triplicem aut quadruplicem sensum, nec hoc solidum est, non solum quia difficile est semper coherentia dicere, sed etiam quia necesse est saepe multa confingere; quod utique periculosum est in tanto thesauro, cui illam debemus reverentiam, ne quid facile comminiscamur.’ Taken from Henri de Lubac, Exégèse médiévale.

Adrianus de Malines (Adriaan van Mechelen, fl. ca. 1545)

OFM. Belgian Observant friar. Probably from Mechelen (Malines). In and after 1543 active in Brussels as member of the Observant Franciscan friary (provincia Germania Inferioris). Known for two vernacular texts, respectively on confession and on communion. Aside, he republished Hendrik Herp’s Spiegel der Volcomenheyt, changing the title and the style of the work.

works

Een salich ende profitelijck onderwijs vander Biechten, gecolligeert uuter heyliger scriftueren, ende doctoren der heyligher kercken (Louvain: Hugo Cornwels for Peeter Verhasselt, 1550) [Booklet apparently written because some good people asked him ‘…dat ick soude willen een maniere int corte bescrijven voor simpel lieden, waer door si souden moghen leeren, wat bichte is, ende hoe dat si hem souden moghen tot bichten bereyden.’ Aside from dogmatic issues, and the urge to confess regularly, the booklet contains a lot of practical advice. Most importantly, the author makes clear that a person in doubt about the expertise and the jurisdiction of his ordinary confessor, he can always turn to ‘… religieusen, die door consent ende privilegie des Paus, eenen yeghelicken mogen absolveren int bisdom daer si ghepresenteert zijn den ordinaris. Als die Minderbroeders, Predicaers, Augustijnen, Carmelijten, Johanniten, ende die oordene des heyligen gheets gheprofessijt. Van desen mach hij gerechtighe absolutie ontfanghen, als van sinen gherechten pastoor.’ The work was more or less finished by 1548. In that year he received ecclesiastical permission from the Pleban Martinus Cools, on behalf of the diocese.]

Onderwijsinghe ende instructie hoe hem een yeghelijck sal bereyden ter taferelen Gods te gane ende te ontfanghen dat weerde heylighe Sacrament, ghecolligeert uuter heyliger Scriftueren, ende ander gheapprobeerde doctoren (Louvain: Hugo Cornwels for Peeter Verhasselt, 1550). [After a dogmatic explanation, the work deals with the mental preparation for the communion and the way it should be received. Important, according the author, is to receive the communion ‘in een dancbaerheit der passie ende der doot Christi Jesu.’, f. C5v]

Den Spiegel der Volmaectheyt, ed. Adriaan van Mechelen (Louvain: Jan Waen, c. 1552/Louvain: Reyner van Velpen voor Jan Waen, c. 1552). The first Dutch edition of Hendrik Herp’s Spiegel der Volcomenheyt since 1512. One of Adriaan of Mechelen's motivations was that it was necessary to counter the many vernacular texts by reformatory writers. In this context, a ‘classic’ of Catholic teaching should be made available again in a new spelling.

Adrianus Hofstadius (Ariaan Verhofstad/Hochstaden/Van der Hofstad, ca. 1540-1595)

OFM. Belgian/Dutch friar. Probably born in Louvain around 1540. he is found as a young mendicant preacher in Utrecht in 1564, to replace the renowned Franciscan preacher Bartholomaeus of Middelburg, who had died. Adrianus was also active as a preacher in Amsterdam before 1570. From that year onwards, he taught at the Franciscan Studium Theologicum of Louvain, where he taught fellow friars and lay people. From 1572 onwards, he also fulfiled the position of guardian, in which capacity he had to take care of the Franciscan friary during the siege of Louvain by Guillaume of Orange. In 1581, he is probably guardian in St. Truiden, for in that year the friar minor Adrianus Hochstaden is asked by the Liège Prins-bishop Ernest of Bavaria to preach in his episcopal town. Shortly thereafter, between 1582 and 1585, Adrianus was in exile in Cologne, where he lived in the delapidated Olive monastery and preached in the local female Augustinian monastery. These sermons on the Sacraments and the Eucharist were held in particular for fellow Dutch exiled Catholics, but also drew the interest of local lay people. In 1585, Adrianus returned to the Low Countries. From 1586 he is found at times as a preacher in Antwerp and he is again guardian in Louvain in 1592. After a short stay in Brussels, he moved to Maastricht, with the aim to organize his written works. But he died there quite suddenly on November 22, 1595, and was buried in the church of the Friars Minor. After his death, his Cologne Sermones Euchatistici were edited and pubished by Henricus Sedulius, with financial support of Adrianus's old friend from Louvain Hendrik van Elten.

De Troeyer I, 378. The 1608 edition is available as an electronic document via the University Library of Ghent and via Google Books.

The other works of Adrianus, including his Decalogi et catechismi explicatio, In symbolum apostolicum explicatio, libri XII, and his In epistolam sancti Pauli ad Romanos, liber unus, once present in manuscript format in the Dominican friary of Antwerp, were apparently never printed and are probably lost.

Yet we have not yet been able to trace those works.

Aegidius Gabrielis (Gilles Gabrielis le Comte, 1636-1697)

TOR. Belgian Franciscan tertiary and member of a Bogard congegration. Born at Haccourt (principality of Liège). After the death of his father, his mother was from 1664 supported by a local Bogard community. In Liège, Aegidius studied the humanities, after which he went to Louvain University for studies in philosophy, Received his magisterial promotion in 1658 as number two of his class. Continued with studies of theology at Standonck college, where he reached the baccalaureate by 1662. Due to material conditions, he was only able to obtain the licence in February 1677 (the official doctorate was refused by the ecclesiastical authorities of Rome in 1679). From 1658 or thereabouts onwards, Aegidius taught as well: in Bogard schools and elswhere. An attempt to obtain a professorship in philosophy at Porc was blocked by Gommarius Huygens. This setback enticed Aegidius to join the Bogards himself. Previously an independent religious group, they had become by 1650 affilated with the regular third order of the Friars Minor. Aegidius fulfilled several offices in the Bogard tertiary network (visitator, general commissionar and provincial (between 1681-1685). He also taught as internal professor of theology in their Antwerp friary, and as professor of philosophy in Brussels. In addition, he developed himself into a well-regarded preacher and confessor among the urban laity (also among the higher middle class), notwithstanding his austere viewpoints on morals and behaviour. Several contemporaries suspected Aegidius of Cartesianist and Jansenist rigorist tendencies, which caused a lot of opposition to his teachings and his published works, even leading to attempts at censorship by his own order superiors. In 1679, Aegidius had to travel to Rome to defend himself. There, between 1679 and and 1681, Aegidius found support with some more rigorist cardinals. Yet when his supporters died in and after 1682, Aegidius’ position became more precarious. Several of his works were condemned, whereas his adversaries (Jesuite authors such as Aegidius Estrix, Gerardus Bolck and Jean-Baptiste Vindevogel) continued their attacks. Although Aegidius found strength in the sympathy towards him by Antoine Arnauld, the ongoing attacks damaged his position. Some time after 1683, he retired to Brussels and then to Louvain, where he died in 1697. Prolific author and correspondent. Many sources still demand editorial attention.

OSD. Italian Damianite (proto-Poor Clare) nun. Younger sister of Clare of Assisi. She joined Clare on 4 April 1211 (17 days after Clare had fled her home and had been led by Francis to the Benedictine monastery of S. Angelo di Panso). She quickly moved with Clare to San Damiano. In 1219, Agnes became abbess of the Monticelli community near Florence (previously a benedictine house), a leadership role she kept until 1253. She also was instrumental in the introduction of the San Damiano life style in monasteries of Mantua and Venice. During Clare’s final illness, Agnes returned to Assisi. There she was present at Clare's death bed and died herself in November of the same year. She was initially buried in San Damiano, but in 1260 her remains were translated to the basilica of St Clare at Assisi. Her cult was authorised by pope Benedict XIV on 16 November 1751. Of her writings, one letter remains, sent by her from Monticelli to Clare in San Damiano.

Agnes Blannbekin (d. 1315)

TOR? Austrian beguine, connected with the Holy Cross convent in Vienna (Austria). Nearly all we know of her is based on the dossier of her life and visions (on Christ and the Virgin Mary) written by her Franciscan confessor, named Ermenric. This work was rediscovered by the Benedictine Bernard Pez in 1731. He published this work together with a book by the monk Pothon on the miracles of the Virgin.

works

Revelationes, ed. Bernard Pez (Vienna, 1731). This publication caused a scandal. At the order of the imperial librarian P.N. Garelli, this edition was almost completely confiscated by the Austrian government. As a result, it is difficult to find. See on this also Pontius Hadr, Epistola ad Amicum, qua (…) Historiam Libri Rarioris Exponit qui Inscribitur Venerabilis Agnetis Blannbekin. Adiectae Sunt (…) R.P. Pezi Epistola Apologetica, et Illustris Garelli, Bibliothecar. Caes. Epistolae (Frankfurt-Leipzig, 1735). The work of Agnes does survives in various manuscripts as well. See for instance MS Basel, Universitaetsbibl. cod. A VIII 6 ff. 154v-158v. A new critical edition was issued in 1994: Leben und Offenbarungen der Wiener Begine Agnes Blannbekin, ed. Peter Dinzelbacher & Renate Vogeler, Göppinger Arbeiten zur Germanistik 419 (Goppingen, 1994). Based on this 1994 edition, an Italian translation was issued as well: Un mistico vedere.

Agnes de Bohemia (Agnes von Böhmen/Agnes von Prag/Anezce Ceské, 1205-1282), sancta

OSD. Czech Damianite. Daughter of King Ottokar I of Bohemia and Queen Constance (the sister of Andreas II, King of Hungary). She was betrothed at the age of three to Boleslas of Silesia, and sent to the female Cistercian house of Trebnitz for her education. When Boleslas died, Agnes came home and was soon thereafter put in the care of the female Premonstratensians of Doxane. She was again betrothed at the age of nine, this time to Henry, the son of the Emperor Frederic II of Sicily. She was sent to the German court to familiarize herself with the language, but when that marriage fell through, Agnes returned to Bohemia. Later Frederick II, as well as Henry III of England asked for her hand. Yet she was able to get papal support from Gregory IX to opt for a religious life. A papal legate succeeded in convincing Agnes's brother Wenceslas, the new king of of Bohemia, to accept Agnes's decision, and Agnes established in Prague a hospital in honor of St. Francis for the care of the poor, together with a monastery where she wanted to spend her life. Both the hospital and the monastery were put under papal protection by Gregory IX (30 August 1234). Agnes, who was in contact with Clare of Assisi, invited nuns from San Damiano to help her, and on 25 March 1234 Agnes took the Damianite habit and was installed by the Franciscan friar Giovanni di Piancarpine as the community's abbess. Influenced by Clare, Agnes wished to adopt the Damianite form of a life in absolute poverty, but the pope initially forced upon her house the so-called Ugolinian rule. Only later, during the pontificate of Innocent IV, did she receive papal permission to adopt the Damianite life style with a special poverty privilege. Agnes died on 6 march 1282. Her grave became a cult site, and her cult was officially confirmed by Pope Pius IX. Her feast day is the 2nd of March.

Agnes de Haricuria (Agnes de Harcourt, f. 13th cent.)

OSM. French Minores nun. Daughter of Blanche d’Avancourt (Avaugour) and Jean d’Harcourt. Courtly lady in the entourage of Isabelle of France. Together with her sister Jeanne de Harcourt, Agnes followed Isabelle when the latter established the monastery of Minoresses at Longchamp. Later, Agnes gathered the information on the life and death of Isabelle, which were transformed into a vernacular biography (Vie d'Isabelle de France). Agnes became the third abbess of the Longchamp monastery between ca. 1264 and ca. 1275, and again between 2 September 1281 and 29 August 1287. She died on St. Catherine’s day (25 November) 1289 or 1291.

Agnes de Hungaria (Agnes von Ungarn/Agnes von Österreich, 1281-1364)

German princes and monastic founder. Daughter of the German King Albrecht I and Elisabeth of Görz-Tirol. She married the Hungarian King Andreas in February 1296, yet after his untimely death five years later, she became the main educator of her stephdaughter Elisabeth. When in 1308 her father was murdered near Windisch (present-day Switzerland), she created a commemorative double monastery of Poor Clares and Franciscan friars there, known as Königsfelden. She wrote for the community a set of constitutions and also was involved with the artistic program. She lived in this house without taking vows, and remained involved in state affairs as peace broker and negociator. She died in the Königsfelden monastery on 11 June 1364 and was buried there. Later her body was translated to St. Blasian and again later to Sankt Paul in Lavanttal (Kärnten, Austria).

Albericus Clemente Carlinus (Alberigo Clemente Carlini/Guido Maria Carlino, 1703–1775)

OFM. Italian friar and painter. Son of Giovanni Domenico and Maria Caterina Sebastiani, and baptized Guido Maria. He joined the Franciscan order on 29 June 1718 in the San Romano friary (Pisa), taking his full profession a year later with the order name Alberico Clemente. Following his initial religious formation, he moved to Florence, where he received his theological education, preparing him for his ordination as a priest. He also exhibited a great talent for drawing and painting and was able to pursue this in the workshop/school of Ottaviano Dandini. He subsequently was allowed to go to Rome to study painting under Sebastiano Conca. In the course of his adult life, he painted for and in many Franciscan friaries (for instance in Fucecchio, Florence (Ognissanto), Pietrasanta, etc.). His final years, still very productive, were spent in Pescia (Colleviti). Alberigo Clemente left behind a substantial oeuvre of religious paintings.

Albertinus Veronensis (Albertinus Minorita/Albertino da Verona, fl. 13th century)

OM. Italian friar. Member of the Bolognese province. Solemnis praedicator in the Franciscan order, possibly lector and preacher at the Aracoeli convent in the early 1250s, and possibly lector at the Bologna convent around 1258 [Cf. the conjectures of Cenci (1994), 275, 290 & note 57]. He is mentioned several times by Salimbene: ‘Habui quendam ministrum in ordine fratrum Minorum, qui dictus est frater Aldevrandus [Aldovrando da Fiagnano], et fuit de oppido Flaniani, quod est in episcopatu Imole, de quo frater Albertinus de Verona, cuius est ‘Sermonum memoria’, ludendo dicebat, quod turpem ydeam in Deo habuerat. Habebat enim caput deforme et factum ad modum galee antiquorum et pilos multos in fronte.’ [Cronica, ed. Holder-Egger, MGH Scriptores XXXII (Hannover-Leipzig, 1905-1913), 137]; ‘Cum autem quadam die Custodus eius [namely Enzo of Sicily, son of emperor Frederick II, made prisoner by the Bolognese, who kept him confined for life] nollent ei dare comedere, ivit ad eos frater Albertinus de Verona, qui erat ‘solemnis predicator’ ex ordine fratrum Minorum, et rogavit custodes, quod sibi amore Dei et sui comedere darent. Qui cum deprecanti nullatenus acquiescere vellent, dixit eis: ‘Ludam vobiscum ad taxillos, et si vicero, habebo licentiam dandi sibi comedere.’ Factum fuit. Lusit et vicit deditque comedere regi familiariter stando cum eo. Et omnes qui audiverunt hoc, commendaverunt fratris caritatem, curialitatem et libertatem.’ [Cronica, ed. Holder-Egger, 329f]. Author of several sermon cycles, which seemingly did not survive in full, but have come down to us partially in a considerable number of manuscripts, frequently together by other homiletic and hagiographic texts. Cenci (1994), 289 notes: ‘Fr. Albertino lettore insegna ai predicatori come tonificare e vivificare la condotta morale-ascetica dei cristiani (rarissimi gli spunti teologici) con molti e brevi acceni a svariati argomenti in ogni sermone, concedendo quindi ad ogni predicatore spazio per approfondire ciò che più gli interessava. Forse in questo aspetto sta la fortuna dei sermoni di fr. Albertino, da Montecassino fino a München.’ These texts are reflective of Albertino’s own preaching activities and were meant for study and for consultation by fellow preachers (not surprisingly, Albertino describes the production of his own works with the terms scribere and predicare).

Albertus Bludo (d. before 15 June, 1362)

OM. German/Czech (Bohemian) friar. Studied at several studia generalia (a.o. Paris); in these various studia, he probably was going through the lectorate program. He also might have been doing some courses pro gradu, probably for his baccalaureate). Lector in various Bohemian friaries. In 1349, he is found as a lector in the Prague friary. In that year, the Emperor Charles IV of Bohemia asked pope Clement VI to bestow on him the magisterium theologiae. On 13 June of that year, the pope wrote to Fortanerius Vassal (former minister general) to examine the case and to bestow the magisterium if he deemed it suitable. Albert apparently received the title for he is called magister theologiae in the list of archbishops of Zarew (Astrakan, Russia), which post he took up on 24 May 1357.

Albertus Burgh (Franciscus de Hollandia, 1650, Amsterdam-1708, Rome)

OFM. Dutch friar. Born in Amsterdam in a rather wealthy Protestant family. Was acquainted with Spinoza (letter 67 and 76) Niels Stensen and Antoine Arnauld. The latter mentions his conversion to Catholicism in 1674 in Italy. He became priest in 1682 and lector in the Franciscan order in 1684. In 1688 he became consultator of the SC. Wrote several (unplublished) pieces on Augustinian theology of grace and about Dutch censorship. An important figure in Jansenist and Spinozist scholarship.

Albertus de Bononia (Alberto da Bologna/Alberto Fantini, fl. late 15^th – early 16^th cent.)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Was ordained subdiaconus at Bologna on 14 March 1495 and diaconus on 4 April of the same year. He was at Paris at least from 30 November 1497 onwards, where he studied theology at least until the Summer of 1501 (still mentioned in Paris on 18 June 1501). After due examination, he was made Magister theologiae at the university of Bologna on 6 June 1502, and on 22 January 1504, he was appointed as regent master of the San Francesco studium of Bologna. Unclear how long he stayed there. In any case, he was in Frankfurt in 1508, where he apparently caused scandal among fellow friars and outsiders due to some of his teachings. It would seem he was involved with negromancy and pyromancy in Frankfurt and Berlin. For that region, the provincial of the Saxony province, Ludwig Henning took some of Alberto's privileges on 11 October 1508. Yet on 10 February 1510, the Minister General Rinaldo Graziani gave Alberto licence 'eundi per omnes orbis regiones, ad quas opus erit, pro suis negotiis expediendis (...) ac etiam morandi in domibus nobilium, quando fuerit requisitus, vel in aliqua Universitate, vel loco honesto, ad legendas Sententias et artes liberales.' [Miscellanea Francescana 26 (1926), 82 & Piana (1963), 233]. Subsequently, he moved back to Italy, for between 1512 and 1514 he taught moral philosophy at the University of Bologna. In 1516, pope Leo X sent him on a mission to Poland to promote reforms among the religious orders there [did Alberto shift to the Observance in the mean time]. His various works, including biblical postils seem to have been lost.

Albertus Marbachensis (Albert von Marbach, ca. 1316-1372)

OM. German friar. Born in Marbach (Würtemberg). Followed the lectorate program in the studium generale of Strasbourg. Thereafter, he absolved some of his obligations pro gradu at Bologna and Paris (possibly as baccalaureus biblicus). He read the Sentences pro gradu at Strasbourg (becoming baccalaureus sententiarum or formatus), and thereafter taught two years a principal lector at the Strasbourg studium generale. On 23 December 1366, Urban V ordered Martin of St. George, master of the university of Oxford to examine the Albert at the general chapter meeting,of Assisi (1367) and to bestow on him the magisterium theologiae if he was deemed suitable. Albertus indeed received this grade. At the provincial chapter of Strasbourg (29 April, 1359), he became provincial minister of the Strasbourg province, a position that he kept for 13 years. At the chapter of Speyer (1360), he confirmed several new statutes, to enhance the observance of the rule. Albert died at the Speyer friary on 20 September 1372. His successor as provincial minister was Hesso von Lampertheim (1372-1386).

OM. French friar. Baccalaureus at the university of Paris during the academic year of 1302/3 (cf. also the remarks of Courtenay (1993), 173, suggesting that he might have been formatus at that time). In a letter dated November 1304, the Franciscan minister general Gonsalvo talks about him as a possible candidate for the magisterium theologiae. After receiving the doctorate (did he indeed receive it?), he became regent at the Franciscan Studium Generale of Paris. In that period, he would have supported the thesis that the stigmata of Franci were nothing but the fruit of Francis’ imagination (no doubt causing a stirr. Spurious story?). He was forced to leave Paris in 1303 (like Scotus and others) when refusing to support Philippe le Bel against Pope Boniface VIII. Author of several sermones de tempore and of a Quaestio Disputata de Principio Individuationis. Allegedly also the author of a commentary on the Sentences, additions to the Opus Oxoniense of Duns Scotis, and a commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics.

Albertus de Pisa (Alberto da Pisa, d. 1240)

OM. Italian friar. Received into the order by Francis of Assisi in 1212. He was send to France in 1219, together with his brother Agnello, to establish a foothold in Paris. In 1223, at the general chapter of Assisi, he was elected provincial minister of the new Germany province. In this quality, he presided over the provincial chapters of Speyer (8 September 1223), Würzburg (15 August, 1224), and Mainz (2 Februari, 1227). In 1227, he was relieved from his post by Elias of Cortona at the general chapter of Assisi, and became subsequently provincial minister in Hungary, the Italian Bologna province, the March of Ancona, the March of Treviso, and Tuscany. When his brother Agnello died in 1236 as the provincial minister of England, the English friars asked for Alberto as his replacement. Elias of Cortona gave his permission, so that Alberto arrived in England on 13 December 1236.  In England, Alberto stimulated the creation of studia in London and Canterbury. On 15 May, 1239, after the deposition of Elias, Alberto was chosen minister general of the order at the general chapter of Rome. He apparently died on 23 January of the following year at Pisa. Pope Gregory IX, who admired him, composed after hearing about his death an eulogy (Plange Turba Paupercula). Alberto is the author of a Sermo de caritate Salvatoris

Albertus Silvaducese (Albertus Sylvaducensis/Albertus van ‘s-Hertogenbosch/Johannes van Gent, 1664-1740)

OFMCap. Dutch Capuchin friar from Brabant. Spiritual author. Entered the Capucin order at Louvain. Made his profession on 22 November 1682 (fulfilling his noviciate under the novice master Franciscau van Breda). After two years of religious formation in the solitary monastery of Tervuren, he was entitled to start his studies of philosophy and theology in 1686. Probably was ordained priest in the 1890s. Thereafter, active at Gelder (present-day Germany), where he stimulated the establishment of a community of female tertiaries at Horst (between Venlo and Venraay), for which Albertus wrote a.o. a set of constitutions. In 1711, we find Albertus in Tienen, where he preached at the St. Germanus church. In 1714, he was vicar of the St.-Truiden monastery. In the same year, he was appointed lector in philosophy. Yet he soon retreated from his teaching (1718) and became a simple clerical friar in Ghent, spending his time with writing and with preaching in Ghent and in neighbouring centres (a.o at Westdorpe).

Albertus Sarteanensis (Alberto da Sarziano/Alberto de Sarteano/Alberto a Sartiano/Alberto Berdini, 1385-1450)

OMConv & OMObs. Italian friar from Sarteano (Sarziano, Tuscany). Entered the Conventual branch of the order in his home town in 1405, where he would have received the first immersion in the Franciscan life by Bartolomeo of Pisa (by then 110 years old>> spurious tradition?). Alberto transferred to the observantist movement in 1415, and received additional training into the Observant way of life by Angelo da Civitella. Sometime after his transfer to the Observance, Alberto went to Verona. There he followed in 1422 a training in Rhetoric under the humanist Guarino (under whom he apparently had already learned Latin and Greek before 1405 [check]). In that same year, Alberto began his preaching career, guided by Bernardino of Siena, who sent Alberto in November 1422 as a preacher to Modena. Between 1424 and 1430, Alberto preached throughout Tuscany, gaining the nickname ‘rex praedicatorum’. In 1430, Alberto apparently suffered from a bout of the Plague, which necessitated a break from his preaching tours. However, at Pentecost 1431, when Alberto took part in the Observant general chapter of Bologna, he was chosen as one of the six friar who, on request by pope Eugenius IV, were sent to Basel, to preach the crusade against the Turcs. In 1433, he preached a Lenten cycle at Naples. Between 1435-1437, Alberto worked and travelled in the Byzantine Empire and in Palestine. And it would seem that in this period (and again later, when traveling in Spain, Palestine and Egypt, see further doen) he also sought martyrdom in the Holy Land, which did not come to pass. He also had a role as organiser and interpreter at the council of Ferrara in 1438, where papal and byzantine delegations negociated about the union between the Greek and the Latin churches. The intial successes of this council stimulated pope Eugenius IV to use Alberto in 1439 as an embassador to Christian Copts, with a letter asking them to participate in the Council of Florence and to obtain a union with the Coptic and Ethiopian churches. Armed with papal letters, Alberto once again travelled to Palestine (Jerusalem), Egypt and Sudan (1439-1441). Although a union with the mythical Ethiopean church was out of the question – Albert got into serious trouble during preaching sessions in the Sudan and also was troubled by illnesses that forced him to break off his planned visit of Ethiopea - Alberto was able to persuade the Coptic patriarch John of Alexandria to assent to union with the Catholic church. Back in Italy, Alberto was chosen as the provincial vicar of the St. Anthony province (June 1442). Soon thereafter, on 18 July 1442, he was appointed general vicar of the Observants, in which capacity Alberto sent Giovanni da Capistrano to France, to stimulate the Observant reforms there. The pope saw Alberto as a good candidate for the position of general minister, in order to unify the order. Yet, at the general chapter of May 1443, he was deemed unacceptable by the Conventuals (who apparently had had him removed with force from the premisses). Antonio da Rusconi was elected instead. Pope Eugenius IV then asked Alberto to preach the crusade against the Turcs in Aquilea. By the end of that year, Alberto is found again in Constantinople, helping his friend Jacopo da Primadizzi in reforming the Franciscan friaries there. In 1445, we find Alberto preaching during Lent in Milan. In 1446, he pacified the town of Brescia, helping to end its civil strife and establishing two Observant houses of Poor Clares (1445-1446). On 18 May 1449, he once more took part in the general chapter of the Observants (Mugello, near Florence). He died the next year, on 15 August 1450 in Milan. He is considered as one of the ‘four pillars’ of the Observance (next to Bernardino da Siena, Giovanni da Capistrano and Giacomo della Marca) and is venerated by his order. A large number of his letters (more than 125), as well as sermons and orations have survived.

Albertus Stadensis (Albert von Stade] (before 1200- † after 1264)

OM. German friar. Probably of ministerial descent. He received his education in Bremen. He became prior and later abbot (1232) of the Benedictine monastery St. Mary near Stade. He left this position when he was unable to reform his cloister into a Cistercian one, thanks to the opposition of the Archbishop of Bremen, Gerard II. He then entered the Franciscan convent in Stade. As friar minor, Albert was able to pursue his literary interests. Already before his entrance in the Franciscan order he wrote a versified version of the Summa de casibus poenitentiae of Raymundus de Penyaforte (the so-called Raimundus, full title: Summa de Poenitentia et Matrimonia), the Auriga (a Gospel harmonization in proze for preaching purposes) and the Quadriga (a poetical adaptation of the Gospels). Not all of these works did survive. As Franciscan he wrote a Troilus (1249), a poem of 5320 verses after the Troy-story of Dares Phrygius. Aside from that he elaborated the Apocalypse commentary of Alexander Minorita, and he continued writing his Chronica, or Annales Stadenses (written between 1240-1256), a universal history with much information on the German and Northern regions. In it also is found his Itinerario, a pilgrimsguide to Rome and Jerusalem, written as a dialogue between two pilgrims. In his chronicle the history from creation to Christ is presented in a synoptical manner, with computations of the five aetates. The sixth aetas, the period after Christ, is presented in the form of annals. There exists a continuation of his chronicle, known as the Annales Lubicenses, running from 1294 to 1324. About the author of this continuation almost nothing is known. For a good inkling of the content of the work and for a rather balanced evaluation concerning the question whether this work was predominantly conceived within a Franciscan context, see Honemann (2015), who questions some of the findings of Maeck (2000).

Alexander Barcleius (Alexander Barclay, c.1475/1484?-1552)

OFM. English or Scottish friar after a career as a secular priest. Old bibliographers are uncertain about his whereabouts, but the fact that his translation of The Ship of Fools contains six stanzas in praise of King James IV of Scotland suggests a connection with that country. At the same time, he had cousins living in Londen near the end of his life. Not much is known about his early years. The fact that he had a good command of several European languages has given rise to the idea that a part of his adolescence was spent with travels and study abroad. During thess year, he also must have obtained a good grounding in Latin, for he later worked as a schoolmaster and edited a Latin schoolbook. Unknown whether he attended university in this early period. During the early sixteenth century, he lived in the diocese of Lincoln, where he probably was trained to become a priest. The earliest dependable information concerning him dates from 1508, when he was ordained subdeacon, deacon, and priest at Exeter Cathedral, and obtained a benefice of some kind by the collegiate church of Ottery St Mary in Devon. Barklay worked at the church of Ottery, probably as chaplain/choirmaster of the lady chapel, responsible for teaching singing to the choristers and young adult clerics of the college and for organizing the daily services in the chapel in honor of the Virgin. During his stay at Ottery, which apparently did not last very long, he translated Sebastian Brant’s Narrenschiff (1494) as the Ship of Fools (issued by Richard Pynson in London in 1509). Barclay’s translation, which included numerous additions, was dedicated to Thomas Cornish, warden of the college and suffragan bishop in the diocese of Exeter, who may have been responsible for bringing him to Ottery, and included complimentary references to Henry VIII, and a number of church dignitaties. Barclay apparently left Ottery in 1509 and four years later, by 1513, he is found as a Benedictine monk in Ely Cathedral priory. Whether motivated by a genuine motivation or not, the Ely Cathedral priory provided him with the material security to continue writing: most of his subsequent writings were done at Ely. The best known of these are five verse Eclogues, written between 1513 and 1530. The first three of which (lamenting the problems at court), were translations from Latin works by Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini (Pope Pius II). The other two (on the lacking maecenate of rich men and on the contrast between urban citizens and country dwellers), went back to poems by Mantuan (Baptista Spagnuoli). Other works from his Ely period include a (now lost) Figure of our Mother Holy Church Oppressed by the French King (possibly from 1512 or 1515, criticizing French military campaigns in Italy), a versified Life of St George (ca. 1515), again based on a work by Mantuan, and the versified The Mirror of Good Manners (1518), which was a translation of a Latin work by Domenico Mancini. In subsequent years, he worked on school texts. He revised the Vocabula by John Stanbridge, a Latin grammer (his revision published in 1519, 1524 and 1526–1527). He also produced an English translation of Sallust's History of the Jugurthine War (ca. 1520) and an Introductory to Write and to Pronounce French (1521), which again was based on older works of the genre. Barclay’s Introductory later received a mixed review in John Palsgrave’s L'esclarcissement de la langue francoyse (1530). Other works ascribed to Barclay, such as a series of lives of St Katherine and St Margaret, etc. have not yet been confirmed. All in all, Barclay had become an established man of letters, who was appreciated by contemporary authors, when he changed course, for sometime between 1521 and 1528 he abandoned Ely to become a Franciscan friar, possibly at the Observant house of Canterbury. He stopped writing and embarked in the study of theology, By 1538, he was called magister or doctor, which indicates some higher degree of theology, but he apparently did not enlist officially as a student at Oxford or Cambridge (or at least did not obtain a degree there). In October 1528, Barclay was mentioned in an accusatory notice of the German informer Hermann Rinck, who suggested to Cardinal Wolsey to arrest and punish several dissidents, including ‘William Roy, William Tyndale, Jerome Barlow, Alexander Barclay (…) formerly Observants of the Order of St Francis but now apostates’ for Lutheranism [(LP Henry VIII, 4/2.2083 (no. 4810))] All men other than Barcley were living at that time in Germany, but it remains unclear whether Barclay was also outside the country at the moment. In any case, one of the men mentioned, namely Tyndal, was not a Franciscan. It can not be corroborated whether Barclay exhibited Lutheran tendencies at this time. In any case, when the English Observant houses were closed in 1534 (several years before dissolution of all monasteries), Barclay was apparently back in England and in 1535 he was found in Cornwall, where preached and lectured for an annuity of £4 by Launceston Priory. In 1538, his name is mentioned by the London chronicler Charles Wriothesley, as a friar who for a while refused to give up wearing his religious habit in public until he was compelled to do so. During the Summer and Autumn of that year, Barclay engaged in clandestine private preaching, for instance at Thetford Priory, Norfolk; Barking, Suffolk, at Whitsuntide, as well as in the diocese of Exeter. All this was brought to the attention to Cromwell. [LP Henry VIII, 13/2.222 (no. 571), 232 (no. 596), 272 (no. 709)]. It is unknown what happened to Barclay in subsequent years, but eight years later, in 1546, he was a beneficed clergyman in the Church of England. In March 1546 William Bowerman, subdean of Wells Cathedral, presented Barclay to the vicarage of Wookey, Somerset (Wells). In the summer of 1547, Barclay replaced Richard Eldon as the headmaster of the Wells Cathedral school. He filled this position until Michaelmas or Christmas 1548, when he transferred to become vicar of Great Baddow, Essex. This apparently was a valuable benefice, and Barclay appeared to have become reasonably well off, also because he received permission to keep the income from Wookey as well. In 1552, the dean and chapter of Canterbury Cathedral, handed him the even more affluent rectory of All Hallows, Lombard Street, London. He died at Croydon (surrey) before he could fully take possession of this new position, early June of the same year. Barclay’s will has survived, and contains a substantial number of beneficiaries, including a number of men, such as John Cheke, tutor to Edward VI, and several associates of the duke of Northumberland, all convinced upholders of the new Protestant regime. It would seem that Barclay had ended his life appeased with the Church of England.

Alexander de Alexandria (Alexander Bononi/Alexander Lombard/Alexander Lombart/Alessandro di Alessandria/Alessandro Lombardo/Alessandro Bonini, ca. 1270-1314)

OM. Italian friar from Piemont. Theologian and philosopher outside Scotist lines of thought. Born in Alessandria della Paglia (Piemont). Took the habit in the Genoa province. After initial studies in his home province, he was sent to Paris to read the Sentences, ca. 1301-1303 (`published' second version ca. 1309). Probably returned to Italy as Formatus in 1303, and was licenced in Rome by Cardinal Gentile as master of theology on 23 November 1303, and handed the doctorate by papal bull (by Pope Benedict XI) on 29 November of that year. Lector at Bologna and Lector Sacri Palatii. Between 1307-1308, he is possibly Magister Regens at Paris, as Scotus’ successor (his name appears on the list of doctors who advised King Philip Le Bel of France in the context of his persecution of the Templars (25 March, 1308)). In 1309 he became provincial minister in the Genoa province. In that quality, he represented the community at the papal court in Avignon in 1310 against the Spirituals (represented by Ubertino da Casale). In 1312, he defended the community at the council of Vienne. At the general chapter of Barcelona, he was elected minister general (2 June 1313), a position he kept until his death in Rome on 5 October 1314. As minister general, he took action against the spirituals (see also on this David Burr, The Spiritual Franciscans), also writing on 13 November 1313 to the King of Aragon to ask his brother, King Frederic of Sicily, not to give refuge to Franciscan dissenters. His Sentences commentary has not yet been edited in full. He also wrote commentaries on the Metaphysics of Aristotle and De Anima, Quaestiones Quodlibeta, a Tractatus de Usuris, as well as commentaries on several Biblical books.

Queritur primo utrum in una et eadem re simplici possint includi diverse formalites sive diversa esse quidditativa; 2. Secundo queritur utrum aliquis relativus sit de primario intellectu alicuius absoluti; 3. Utrum similitudo inter Cain et Abel, sive inter duo individua eiusdem speciei (que fuerunt de individuo eiusdem speciei), sit relatio realis; 4. Quarto queritur que est maior distinctio, aut illa que est inter attributa aut illa que est inter relationes divinas; 5. Quinto queritur utrum magnitudo sit in divinis ex natura rei; 6. Sexto queritur utrum actio in divinis ad intra et relatio differant formaliter; 7. Septimo queritur utrum cognitio creaturarum in Patre precedat productionem Verbi; 8. Octavo queritur utrum Deus possit facere subiectum absque omni accidente absoluto; 9. Nono queritur utrum Deus possit causare cognitionem intuitivam sine existentia rei vel sine reali presentia obiecti; 10. Decimo queritur utrum, cum dicitur Deus creator celi et terre, exprimatur unus articulus fidei; 11. Undecimo queritur utrum mundus potuerit produci ab eterno; 12. Duodecimo queritur utrum fieri cuiuslibet rei factibilis arguat materiam que sit pars rei facte (substantie eius); 13. Tertiodecimo queritur utrum intellectus possibilis sit effectivus sue operationis; 14. Quartodecimo queritus utrum omnes actus intellectus sint eiusdem speciei; 15. Quintodecimo queritur utrum aliquid aliud a voluntate possit causare actum voluntatis in voluntate; 16. Sextodecimo queritur utrum de ratione voluntatis, ut est distincta contra naturam, sit libertas cum indifferentia ad multa; 17. Queritur utrum fieri substantiarum separatarum excludat ab eis necessitatem essendi; 18. Utrum fieri substantiarum separatarum arguat relationem realem in Deo; 19. Utrum in substantiis separatis individuum aliquid addat supra speciem ita quod in eis sit compositio ex natura et individuo; 20. Utrum possint esse duo angeli eiusdem speciei; 21. Utrum Christus fuerit verus homo in triduo.

Alexander de Ariostis de Bononia (Alessandro de Ferrara/Alessandro Ariosto, d. ca. 1484)

OMObs. Italian friar. Probably born in Ferrara, in a family of lawyers. (also related to the famous Lodovico Ariosto, author of Orlando Furioso) Probably studied law before his entrance in the Observant branch of the order. In 1460 or 1463 (?), he is found in Palestine where he wrote his Topografia Terrae Promissionis. Not known whether, after his return to Italy in the later 1460s, he took up a teaching position within the order. In 1475, he was asked to travel to Libanon, to help with the pastoral care among the Maronite Christians. From there, Alexander travelled to various other places in the Middle East (Cyprus, Syria, the Holy Land, Egypt, details of which can be found in his Itinerarium. Also active as crusade preacher in and after 1480 (after the Turcs invaded Italy). Friar of the convent S. Paolo in Monte (Bologna) . He probably died after the fifth of June, 1485 (date of the latest dated letter written by Alexander from Bologna). He was a rather prolific author with humanist inclinations, as can be seen in his Latin style. In one of his letters (to Simon of Reggio, edited by Fussenegger, see below), Alexander wrote at length about his travels and about his literary production, information that indicates that, aside from his letters, Alexander wrote at least eight other works (see below).

works

Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum seu Serena Conscientia/Tractatus de Vero et Perfecto Statu Minorum (ca. 1456-1458): a.o. MS Assisi, Bib. Comun. 589 ff. 218r-234r; Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Latin 4395, text no. 9 [in a manuscript filled with Franciscan regulatory texts, papal bulls and privileges. Cf. AFH 42 (1949), 284].
For sixteenth-century imprints, see: Serena Conscientia (Brixiae: Jacobus Britannicus, 1502); Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum sive Serena Conscientia, in: Monumenta Ordinis Minorum (Salamanca, 1506) Tractatus III ff. 115v-145r; Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum sive Serena Conscientia, in: Speculum Minorum (Venice, 1509-1512) Tractatus III, ff. 101v-125r/134-151?; Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum sive Serena Conscientia, in: Monumenta Ordinis Minorum (Salamanca, 1511) Tractatus II, ff. 116r-147v; Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum sive Serena Conscientia, in: Firmamenta Trium Ordinum (Venice, 1513) III, ff. 133v-151; Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum sive Serena Conscientia, in: Girolamo Menghi da Viadana, Giardino delitioso de i Frati Minori (Bologna, 1592), 121-275 (interpolated Italian version.). [Alexander’s commentary (which dates from ca. 1456-1458), consists of 107 questions which, following the chapter order of the Regula Bullata, provide elucidations, with reference to most older rule commentaries (including the rule commentary of Olivi), papal decrees, bulls, and order constitutions (including the Farinarian constitutions of 1359 and the Martinian constitutions of 1430, but apparently not using the constitutions issued by John Capistran in 1443.)]

Florilegium Textuum seu Dictorum e Sacra Scriptura, sanctis Patribus, Corpore Iuris canonici et operibus rhetorum antiquitatis. [opus deperditum?, see Fussenegger, 150. Would have amounted to an preacher’s manual with praedicabilia, examples, and handy canonist information].

De Usuris: MSS Pavia, Bibl. Universitaria Aldini 65 ff. 42-91; Parma, Biblioteca Palatina Parm. 85.
The work was issued as an incunable: De Usuris (Bologna: Balthasar de Hyberia, 1486) [Alexander wrote this work on request of the preacher Marco of Rimini. In the prologue to the work, Alexander teaches us that ‘Libellum sex dumtaxat capitulis distinximus, que pluribus sunt referta paragraphis. Agitur in primo de usurae definitione, eius denominatione et merita reprobatione, de creditorum licita usurarum exactione ob proprium interesse. In secundo et tertio capitulo de usura quae per aequipollentiam in contractibus soccidae emptionis venditionisque et negotiantium societatibus potest incidere. In quarto, qui manifeste censeantur ururarii et quibus poenis ab Ecclesia puniantur. In quinto participes usurarum foeneraticorumque contractuum quo pacto ex his ad restitutionem teneantur. In sexto, quando, quibus de rebus, quibus in locis quibusve personis usurarii vel eorum heredes satisfacere teneantur atque ad id quibus poenis per iudices valeant compelli. Demum cuiusmodi debeat esse ista satisfactio, ut ex ea salutem miseri consequantur.’]

Abbreviatio Tractatus Restitutionum S. Bernardini: MS Oxford Bodl. Canonic.-Miscell. 267 ff. 199v-245r. [This work, which can be interpreted as a practical hand guide for restitution issues for preachers and confessors, is heavily dependent on the sermons on usury and restitution in his De Christiana Religione (Cf. Bernardinus Senensis, Opera Omnia I (Quaracchi, 1950), 400-532.]

Enchiridion sive Interrogatorium perutile pro animabus regendis (...) (1475): a.o. MSS Washington D.C. Holy Name College, 28; Bologna, Bibl. Universitaria 172 (provenance: the Observant St. Paul convent in Bologna).
There are a number of sixteent-century imprints: Enchiridion sive Interrogatorium pro Animabus Regendis sive Interrogatorium Confessorum pro Animorum Curanda Salute (Venice: Philippus Pincius Mantuanus, 1513/Venice: Georgius de Rusconibus, 1516/Paris: Jehan Petit, 1514/Paris: Jehan Petit, 1520/ Paris: Regnault Claudière, 1522/Pavia: Giacomo da Borgofranco, 1516/Venice, 1522/Lyon, 1540 etc. ). Several editions are now accessible via Google Books and other digital portals. The work was later re-issued as Compendium sive summa confessorum, casus omnes ad animarum curam attinentes (Brescia: Tomas Bozzola, 1579/ and other editions). The 1579 edition is accessible via Google Books. [For more edition information, see Fussenegger (1956), 153. Fussenegger makes clear that this work, finished in 1475 and dedicated to Marco of Bologna, ex vicar general of the Observants, was well-received, witness its re-issues in the early sixteenth century: ‘Est enim manuale casuisticum de administratione sacramenti poenitentiae, in tres partes divisum. In quarum prima auctor de septem virtutibus pertractat quibus oportet sacerdotem insignitum esse ut suae aliorumque hominum bene consulat saluti; debet enim esse bonitate conspicuus, scientia idoneus, potestate praeditus, in interrogando cautus, in absolvendo providus, in poenitentiis dandis circumspectus, rerum auditarum secretus. Quae omnia ex iure canonico et auctorum sententiis copiose explicantur. In parte secunda de interrogationibus faciendis circa decem decalogi praecepta septemque peccata capitalia agit. In tertia vero de interrogationibus ad condicionem cuiuslibet confitentis pertinentibus disserit. Permultae sunt personae, quarum statum Fr. Alexander in hac parte respicit, v.g. Summus pontifex, cardinales, episcopi, sacerdotes beneficiati, praelati religiosorum, religiosi professi, doctores et magistri, iudices, advocati, medici, rectores hospitalium, caupones, macellarii, sutores, cerdones, pictores, nauclerii etc.’ Ibidem, 152-153.]

Topografia Terrae Promissionis: a.o. MSS Bologna, Convent of St. Anthony 14 ff. 264v-309r; Bologna, Biblioteca Universitaria 2539 (with dedicatory letter to the Duke of Este) & 2926 (with dedicatory letter to Marco of Bologna); Paris, BN Nouv. Acquis. Lat. 758 ff. 208r-262v.
The Topografia Terrae Promissionis was edited in: Marcellino da Civezza, Storia universale delle Missioni francescane (Rome, 1861) V, 637-682. Also edited as: Fratri Alexandri Ariosti de Bononia Topografia Terrae Promissionis, ed. Marcellino da Civezza (Rome, 1863) and in Ch. Kohler (ed.), `Description de la Terre Sainte par un franciscain anonyme', Revue de l'Orient Latin, 11 (1909-12), 1-67, 484ff. [it amounts to a typical description of the holy places, following the Franciscan tradition in these matters as developed since the later thirteenth century.]

Itinerarium sive de Sacra Peregrinatione: a.o. MSS Piacenza Bib. Com. Passerini-Landi 154 ff. 1r-191r; Ferrara, Bib. Com. Ariostea 4 (not complete)
The work was edited as: Viaggio nella Siria, nella Palestina, nell'Egitto fatto dal 1475 al 1478 da frate Alessandro Ariosto, missionario apostolico, ed. G. Ferraro (Ferrara, 1878) [incomplete edition on the basis of the Ferrara ms only. This is a far more geographically and ethnographically oriented work, based on Alexander’s travels during his three years trip through the Middle East. At the same time, it deals with relics recovered and brought back to Italy.]

Alexander Bremensis (Alexander Minorita/Alexander von Bremen, d. ca. 1271)

OM. German Lay friar from the Bremen region. (Saxony province, bremen custody). Author of an Apocalypse commentary, which he composed not so long after his entry into the order in three redactions between 1235 and 1249. Following a sudding insight during the Easter celebrations, he understood the Apocalypse as a consistent prophecy on the course of history since the times of Christ, in which the visions of the Apocalyps are not recapitulated (as in most existing commentaries) but indications for a continuous and teleological process of Church history in six aetates. The end times will arrive shortly, although Alexander refrained from making explicit what is going to happen in the near future. With recourse to pseudo-Joachite writings, he underlined the importance of the mendicant orders in the last period of Church history prior to the arrival of Antichrist and the Last Judgment. In some manuscript versions of the work can be found peculiar image cycles. The work as such had an impact on the likewise 'historizing' Apocalypse commentaries of Peter Aureol and Nicholas of Lyra. For more information see especially the studies of Schmolinky (1987, 1996, 2000, 2002) and the introduction provided by Honemann (2015).

Alexander Halensis (Alexander of Hales, ca. 1185 - 21, 08, 1245, Paris)

OM. English theologian and friar. Born in Hales (Gloucester). Embarked on an ecclesiastical career. Several prebends provided him with the opportunity to study, first in England and then at the University of Paris. In 1210 magister regens at the arts faculty of the University of Paris. Was involved with the school controversies of 1229. Opted for the priesthood and obtained a benefice as Archdeacon of Coventry, which soon enabled him to continue his studies of theology at Paris. Around 1225, he became magister regens in theology at the same university, a position he kept until his death. In or after 1231, he entered the Franciscan order, thus becoming the first Franciscan regent master at Paris (among his pupils were, among others, Jean de La Rochelle (whom Alexander chose as his co-regent in 1235) and Bonaventura). Alexander wrote an important commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard and was a seminal force behind the introduction of Lombard’s Sentences as the standard textbook at the theology faculty. Together with several of his Franciscan pupils, Alexander embarked on a large Summa Theologiae. This was completed after his death, and became animportant handbook within the Franciscan schools. Alexander also wrote sermons and several biblical commentaries, yet the Apocalypse commentary found under his name probably is from the hand of an other Franciscan (Alexander of Alexandria or Vital du Four?, not according to David Burr (1990/1993)). Alexander subscribed to the 1241/1244 condemnations of Paris and took part in the first council of Lyons (1245). He also fulfilled several diplomatic missions for King Henry III of England at the french Royal Court.

Dr. Aleksander Horowski OFMCap (who very kindly also gave us several other references to other works of Alexander), informed us that, according to him, only MS Assisi Communale 76 ascribes the work to Alexander of Alexandria. He also informed us that Stegmüller ascribed MS Leipzig 448 explicitly to Alexander of Hales (something we missed ourselves), whereas MSS Paris Bn Lat. 15580 and 14432 are anonymous, and that the studies by I. Brady and B. Guyot mention that an anonymous Introitus in Isaiam in MS Praha Univ. IV.D.13 (dated. 1245-1250) testifies to the existence of Alexander of Hales Postillae in Isaiam. (B.

Bonaventurae ad fidem codicum edita (Quaracchi, 1928: Editio anastatica, Grottaferrata, 1997). [The critical edition by Doucet et al. is not complete. It contains only Books I-III [lib. I = t. 1; lib. II = t. 2-3; lib. III = t. 4]. For book IV the old printed editions should be consultated. There are, in fact many of these older editions, reaching back to the fifteenth century, and often with in its title the words Alexandri de Ales (...) Summae theologiae. (a.o. Nuremberg, 1481-1482 in 4 Vols.; Pavia, 1489 in 4 Vols.; Venice, 1496 in 4 Vols.; Lyon, 1515-1516 in 4 Vols; Venice, 1575-1576 in 4 Vols.; Cologne, 1622 in 4 Vols.). The Quaracchi edition of the first quaestio has been reprinted in: Alexander of Hales, Summa theologica, quaestio I, in: Theologie als Wissenschaft, 79-109 (text, with commentary by Bruno Niederbacher on pp 110-130).

Cf. review in Archivum Franciscanum Historicum 115:1-4 (2022), 546-549]. The Summa as such is not written by Alexander himself, but is a collaborative effort of various of Alexander’s Franciscan pupils, notably Jean de La Rochelle and William of Meliton, partly based on Alexander’s own writings, partly on the basis of works initiated by these pupils themselves.]

Alexander de Riciis de Aquila (Alexander de Riciis Aquilanus/Alessandro de Ritiis/Alessandro Ricci/Alexander de Domo Petri Ricci, 1434-1497)

OMObs. Italian friar. Born in Collebrincioni (near L'Aquila). Was enticed to enter the order (the regular Observance sub vicariis) when he was 12, after hearing a series of quadragesimal sermons by Paolo da Siena (Paulus de Senis). He took his official profession on 5 July 1450 in the San Giuliano friary near L'Aquila. From there he visited several times relics of San Bernardino kept in the nearby San Francesco church. Later, in 1456, he was in Capestrano (where he apparently escaped a major earthquake due to a happenstance visit to Chieti at that very moment). In Capestrano, he visited the archive of Giovanni of Capestrano, many documents of which he transcribed. A number of these transcriptions he included in his chronicles. Afterwards, he returned to the L'Aquila region, where he became involved with raising funds for the San Bernardino friary in 1464. In that same year, he also participated in the general chapter of Assisi. In subsequent years he was several times guardian of the San Bernardino friary. He fulfilled this function at least in and after 1469, and again in 1475, when he encountered Giacomo della Marca. Four years later, in 1479, he was elected provincial vicar for one year in the Abruzzo province, In 1485, he resided in the San Nicola friary of Sulmona, in the company of Vincenzo Aquilano, who he knew from his early years in the San Giuliano friary, and who would later be beatified. In 1487, he was again guardian of the San Bernardino friary of L'Aquila, supervising the extension of the church, and in 1493 he accompanied Queen Juana of Aragon on a visit to Bernardino da Siena's grave site. In the same year he participated in the general chapter of the Observants in Florence. Along the road, he also visited La Verna. Near the end of his life, he retired to the San Giuliano friary, where he finished his historical works between 1493 and 1497. Alessandro is known for his large Chronica civitatis Aquilae, which started out as a continuation and reworking of the macaronic (i.e. mixed Latin-Italian) Cronaca of Buccio di Ranallo. Alessandro also wrote a Chronica Ordinis Minorum, a Dominicale totius anni (1470 with later additions), a Quadragesimale de credibilibus fidei (70 sermons on theological topics, possibly held at L'Aquila in 1480, Officia b. Mariae Virginis et Passione Christi, followed in the same manuscript by 50 Marian sermons (Mariale per minimum Minorum minimum fr. Alexandrum de Aquila), and a Corollarium Marialis (1488). According to his own remarks, Alessandro was also the author of other works, now lost, namely a Quodlibetum, a Festivum sermon collection, a Regula fratrum minorum (possibly a commentary of some type of the rule), and possibly also another quadragesimal collection, referred to as a Quadragesimale de Sacramentiis and an additional Sacrarium. It is not totally clear whether this Quadragesimale de Sacramentiis and the Sacrarium are different works or not. Aside from MSS Naples Naz., I.H.43 and Naples Naz., V.H. 145, nearly all of his works can be accessed via the autograph manuscripts Archivio di Stato dell'Aquila, Arch. civ. aquil., S 71-74. For the whereabouts of these manuscripts prior to their entry into the Archivio di Stato dell'Aquila, see the 1927 study of A. Chiappini, the 1982 work edited by Walter Capezzali, and Paolo Cherubini's entry on Alessandro de Riciis in the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani.

[Alessandro's Chronica civitatis Aquilae consists of three main parts: a Chronicon Mundi, which is largely dependent upon Orosius, Paulus Diaconus, Martinus Polonus, and (for more recent information) Buccio di Ranallo. This part also contains synoptic tables in three columns to portray in graphic form the chronology and history of biblical events, the Roman and German Emperors, the Popes and the Kings of Naples (not unlike Paolino da Venezia in his Chronologia Magna?). The second part is the vernacular Chronica de Aquila scilicet Butii de Ranallo, which follows the history of L'Aquila from its foundation until 1362. This part is mainly the work of Buccio, with added poems by Alessandro, who also attempted some restructuring and the introduction of a chapter division. The final part is Alessandro's continuation of Buccio until 1495, and this part ends with a description of the general chapter of the Observants held on 7 June 1495.]

OFMRef. Italian friar from the Venetian Sant'Antonio Riformati province. Teacher of theology in several friaries and studia. At the general chapter of Mantua (1762), he presented a famous defense in 51 theses of Catholic dogma (against other forms of Christianity).

Alexander de Villa Dei (Alexandre de Villedieu/Alexander Dolensis/Alexander de Villadei, 1170-1250)

OM. French friar from Villedieu-les-Poêles in Normandy. He studied in Paris, becoming a master of arts, and later was active in Dol-de-Bretagne. He joined the order as an adult. Author of several mathematical treatises, as well as of grammatical and more philosophical works, all or most in verse. To him is also ascribed a Summarium Biblicum sive Compendium Scripturae. His most famous work no doubt is his versified Doctrinale Puerorum, issued long before he became a Franciscan friar, and based on Donatus and Priscian. His best known arithmetic work is the Carmen de Algorismo, which introduces students to work with Hindu-Arabic numerals (called Tales Indorum).

Alfonso de Castro (Alfonsus a Castro Zamorensis, ca. 1495-1558)

OFM. Spanish (Castilian) Observant friar from the neighbourhood of Zamora. He probably started his university studies in 1507 at Alcalá. Three years later, in 1510 (1511?), he entered the Franciscan order in the S. Francisco friary of Salamanca, where he fulfilled his noviciate. Thereafter, he continued his studies at Alcalá. After finishing his education (lectorate? studies and canon law? > known that he studied under the canonist Martín de Azpilcueta), he returned to the Salamanca friary, where he became the regent lector of theology at the Franciscan studium, and fulfilled several other functions. In the years that followed, he became acquainted with Emperor Charles V, whom he accompanied to his crowning in Bologna in 1530. Beforehand, he had taken part in the Franciscan general chapter at Assisi (1526), and for a while had continued his studies at Alcalá (probably the degree program, between 1528-1532). It has been suggested that he wrote at Charles V's request a now lost treatise defending the marriage of Henry VIII and Catarina of Aragon (the aunt of Charles). After a stint as a preacher in The Netherlands (also as spiritual guide to the Spanish business community in Bruges), and homiletic travels through Germany and France (1532-1535), he received the licence of theology at the university of Salamanca. He was present at the Council of Trent as a theologian in the service of Cardinal Pacheco (1545-1547) and the Spanish king (1551-1552, when he was also officially the guardian of the Salamanca friary). Official court preacher of prince Philip II since 1553, whom he accompanied to England in 1554, during the Mary Tudor period. Thereafter he went back to Flanders, where he died at Brussels (4 or 11 February 1558), shortly after his appointment to the episcopal see of Santiago de Compostella.
Alfonso was a prolific author. His works include successful homiletic volumes on the Psalms, the first of which was printed in Salamanca in the late 1530s, as well as a large three-volume defence of Catholic orthodoxy, the individual volumes are known as the Adversus omnes haereses (first published at Paris in 1534), the De iusta haereticorum punitione (first published published at Salamanca in October 1547), and De potestate legis poenalis (first issued in 1550). These works argue for the right of church and state to punish heterodoxy and heresy, and even could call for the death penalty, but at the same time argued that the death penalty should only given when the offense was of a very serious nature and when it was impossible to correct the accused in another way. His works had a considerable influence in legal thought on criminal justice in Early Modern Europe. In matters of Church reform, Castro seems to have been sympathetic to the stance of Cardinal Reginald Pole.
