FRANAUT-E

OM. German Franciscan friar and theologian from the Saxony province. Matriculated at Greifswald university in 1437 (where at that moment the University of Rostock had moved to, due to a conflict with the Council of Basel). In 1470, he issued the Tractatus de Justitia, written at the instigation of Nikolaus Lakmann, then provincial minister to overcome a personal and religious crisis (Kannemann named in the text as: 'provincie Saxonie minister meritissimus sacre theologie doctor egregius.'). The text also suggests that Eberhard had been or was at Erfurt at the time of the work's creation. A number of other texts in the same Rostock manuscript give an indication of Hillemann's disputation activities. Later in life Eberhard was the successor of Nikolaus Lakmann as provincial minister and kept that position for ten years (1480-1490). He was involved with the reform of the Greifswald Franciscan friary, and led the provincial chapters of Bautzen (1482) and Stendal (1485). He was too ill to lead the provincial chapter of Breslau (1488), which was led by his representatives Nikolaus? and Johannes Roethaw. Hillemann weas a proponent of Observant reforms among Martinian lines, in line with the ideas of the late Matthias Döring and Nikolaus Lakmann.

Eberhard Runge (fl. ca. 1530)

OFM. German friar. He joined the order in his adolescence. He was immatriculated at Rostock University in 1518 as a member of the Hannover friary. He reached the magisterium and taught for a while theology at Rostock University before he was appointed provincial minister of the newly created Saxonia Sanctae Crucis province in 1524, after the division of the medieval Saxonia province. Following his three-year stint as provincial minister, he was active as a preacher. In that capacity he was in Hannover, as preacher at the Franciscan friary, which by then had already be secularised. Runge ridiculed reformatory preachers and partisans, apparently with permisson of the city council. Yet this drew out the ire of reformatory parties. Runge and all other Franciscan friars were forced to leave town. He transferred to Hildesheim, where he was at least active until the early to mid 1540s.

Eleazar Horn (ca. 1690-1744)

OFM. German friar. Entered the Franciscan Recollects in the Sank Elisabet province of Thüringen. He finished his theological education by 1716. Eight years later, in 1724, he departed for Palestine. Following a short sojourn on Cyprus, he arrived in Jerusalem by October of that year. Between May and August 1725, he was the guardian of the Holy Sepulcre monastery. Then, in January 1726, he became the organist of the Ain Karem community. In 1727, he returned to Jerusalem, where he stayed for more or less a decade, aside from a short stay at Belen in 1731-1732. After another stint at Ain Karem, Eleazea returned for a while to Germany, but he was back in Palestine a few years later. In 1743, he could be found in Gallilea and especially at Nazareth, where he measured and drew medieval monuments. In 1744, while at St. John of Acre, he had a stroke and died on 28 November. Known for his Ichnographiae, locorum et monumentorum veterum Terrae Sanctae, which depicts many old monuments and which itself was partly based on and inspired by the two-volume Historica, theologica et moralis Terrae Sanctae Elucidatio, compied by his fellow Franciscan Franciscus Quaresimi. (Antwerp, 1634-1639). Counter to Quaresimi’s work, Eleazar’s Ichnographiae remained unpublished until the 1902 edition made by Golubovich.

Elemosina Gualdensis (Johannes Elemosina/Elemosina di Gualdo Tadino, ca. 1280-1339)

OM. Italian Friar Minor from Umbria. Member of the Gualdo friary around 1330. He also lived for some time in Assisi and might heve sojourned in the Holy Land province. He is the author of a rather peculiar regional world chronicle, with a specific emphasis on Umbria. The chronicle starts with the creation but only starts to provide more detailed information when it deals with the Roman Empire. The author uses a wealth of sources (chronicles travel stories, theological treatises), among which figure a series of specific works of Franciscan and non-Franciscan long distance travelleres, such as Marco Polo, Orderico of Pordenone, John of Montecorvino and Andreas of Perugia). Elemosina's chronicle is organized around a large number of 'key figures' who carry the historical narrative. The chronicle is also interesting for the way it presents events from different perspectives. It is spare in its use of dates and it repeatedly looks backwards or forwards in time. Elimosina's text shares this rather innovative or in any case not very common way of organizing its materials with the Franciscan chronicle of Paolo of Gualdo/Anonymus Umber (cf. Vauchez, `Fratri Minori, eremitismo e santità laica, 274-5), yet another Franciscan chronicler from Umbria, who seemingly was a major source of inspiration for Elemisina. However, Elemosina's chronicle is far more erudite, more latinate, and covers a larger geographical area (including Palestine). In that sense, Elemosina's chronicle is much more a world chronicle than the far more regional chronicle of Paolo/Anonymus Umber. Elimosina's chronicle has survived in two autograph manuscripts, and in a rather strange sixteenth-century forgery surviving in two texts and ascribed to Giovanni di Capistrano (MS Rome, Bibl. Vat. Fonds Chigi I, VII, 262; MS Rome, Bibl. Corsini, 776 (39 G2)). Thus far, Elimosina's text has not been edited in full. It has received soms serious scholarly attention from Ruggero Guerrieri, François Fossier, Paolo Emore, Isabelle Heullant-Donat, and others.

Elias de Bourdeilles (Elias de Bourdeille, ca.1410-1484)

OMConv. French friar. Born at Agonac, at the castle of Bourdeilles, as the fifth son of the royal Seneschal of Périgord, Arnaud de Bourdeille, he entered the Franciscan order at Périgueux and studied theology, first at the studium of Périgueux, and subsequently at Toulouse. Became doctor in theology at Toulouse University. Taught Sacred Scripture at the Franciscan convent of Mirepoix. Active at the council of Basel. He became bishop of Périgueux in 1437 [1447?], more or less against his will, but at the outright request of Eugenius IV (who therewith confirmed the wishes of the Périgueux canons). He remained bishop there until 1468. A Archbishop of Tours between 1468 and 1484. He helped enlarge and embellish the Cathedral and created the St. Gatien library. Also involved with the construction of the church of Ste Catherine de Fierbois. Because of his blameles conduct, he counted as a model prelate, who succeeded to keep on good friends with royal and papal authorities even when the pragmatic sanction of Bourges caused great conflicts between the crown and the papacy. Elias defended papal and anticonciliar positions, which shows in his work (such as his treatise Pro Pragmaticæ Sanctionis Abrogatione (Rome, 1486)), but was also active in the rehabilitation process of Jeanne d'Arc, which helped to deserve the esteem of King Charles VII and Louis XI of France. The latter made him into his confessor and chaplain, a position which he kept even when the conflict around the sanction of Bourges was renewed. Made Cardinal on 15 November 1483. Shortly after his death, on 5 July 1484, in Artannes, near Tours, Elias was already regarded a saint and he received a life by a secretary and confessor Peter of Bois-Morrin (1485/1490). Yet he was never canonized, not withstanding serious efforts to this effect in the sixteenth century.

Elias de Cortona (Elia da Cortona/Elia di Cortona , ca. 1180-1253, Cortona)

OM. Italian friar, Disciple of Francis and second minister general of the order. Was a missionary and later provincial minister in the new province of Syria. Accompagnied Francis back to Italy and became his vicarius. Was important for the organization of the order, in close cooperation with cardinal Hugolino (for instance in the proces leading to the Regula Bullata). Played an important role in the creation of a messianistic image of Francis (letters, creation of the basilica in Assisi). As a minister general he became a controversial figure. Though he was not without education himself (apparently also with alchemical interests), and promoted the education of Franciscan friars, he represented the lay element in the order. This, as well as his behavior as minister general (alleged arrogance, transgressions of the rule (poverty), at least if we can believe the biassed sources from later date), created much antagonist feelings, especially among the clerical friars. Became active in the peace talks between Frederick II and Gregory IX, but was soon accused of sympathizing with the emperor. He was deposed in 1239, and, after his flight to Frederick's court, excommunicated. He reconciled himself with Church and order shortly before his death.

TOR. Italian Regular tertiary. Born in a noble family from Trabia (Sicily), and known under her secular name as Elisabetta Morso e Lanza, and as the marchesa della Gibellina de'principi di Trabia, due to her marriage (at the age of 19) with the margrave Antonino Moro (marchese della Gibellina). After the death of her husband, she joined the monastery of Santa Maria di tutte le Grazie, also known as the Santo Vito monastery.

Elzearius de Sabrano (Elzéar de Sabran, 1285-1323), sanctus

OSF/TOF. Provençal aristocrat. Born in Roubians castle, as the son of Ermangaud de Sabran and Laudune d’Albe (la bonne comtesse de Roquemartine). He was educated at the abbey of Saint Victor in Marseille, and then succeeded his father as count of Sabran and Ariano. In 1312, he moved with his pious wife Dauphine de Puimichel to the court of King Robert of Anjou in Naples, where Elzéar led a contingent of troops in battles against King/Emperor Henry VII. Later, Elzéar became regent of the Naples kingdom in the absence of Robert, and also was involved with the education of Robert's son Charles. In 1323, Elzéar was sent to negociate the second marriage of crown prince Charles with Marie de Valois. During this trip Elzéar died in September of that year. He was buried in the Franciscan church of Apt. Elzéar and Dauphine were known for their chastity and their tertiary lifestyle, devoting much of their resources to charitable activities. They also were known as supporters of Franciscan Spiritual groups. The latter for a while proved to be a problem when the extended family of Elzéar and Dauphine and the crown of Naples sought his canonisation. Elzéar was finally canonised under Urban V in 1369, and the official bull of canonisation wa promulgated under Gregory IX in January 1371. Dauphine, who died in 1360, was never officially canonised, but she is considered a beata, and is commemorated as such in the Franciscan martyrologium (26 November).

Elias de Nabinal (Elias Nabinalis/Elias de Nabinaux, ca. 1295-1348)

OMConv. French friar. Probably born in Nabinaud (Périgueux diocese) around 1295 or shortly thereafter. Entered the Franciscan order in the Aquitaine province. Studied theology within the provincial school network, and became provincial minister of Aquitaine (1325-1328. Cf. also BF V, n. 596, in which pope John XXII thanks him for prayers on his behalve on the 1325 provincial chapter). After 1328, he embarked on his theology degree studies at Paris. He was Baccalaureus Sententiarum when pope John XXII asked his help (6 February 1329, cf. BF V, n. 765) to confine Francis of Ascoli (Francis de Marchia, who was sympathising with Michael of Cesena and Louis of Bavari). On 1 May, 1331, the pope intervened to grant Elias the magisterium (BF V, n. 908), and on 16 November 1332, pope John XXII appointed him to the archepiscopal see of Nicosia, Cyprus (cf. BF V, n. 999). On Cyprus, Elias proved to be an (over?)active prelate, re-inforcing episcopal statutes, and fighting schismatic elements. On 12 July 1342, pope Clement VI bestowed on him patriarchal see of Jerusalem, a position he fulfilled alongside of his epicopal duties in Nicosia (BF VI, n. 141), and on 20 September 1342, pope Clement VI made him titular cardinal of Saint-Vital. In that quality, he attended the Franciscan general chapter of Marseille (June 1343). He also went to Avignon, to assist in the reconciliation of Francis of Ascoli (1 December 1343. Cf. BF VI, 150). He apparently also played a role in the controversy concerning the Beatific Vision. He died at Avignon on 13 January 1348. Aside from a Sentences commentary, Elias wrote several works of moral theology (such as a treatise De Vita Contemplativa), and a commentary on the Apocalypse. It remains unclear as to whether these works have survived.

Enecus de Mendoza (Yñigo de Mendoza/Íñigo de Mendoza, ca. 1424-ca. 1507)

OMObs. Spanish friar from Burgos of converso descent from his mother's side. After a youth devoted to more lighthearted literary pursuits, he entered the Regular Observant branch of the Franciscan order. Relatively early, between 1467-68, he produced his Coplas de vita Christi, dedicated to his mother Juana de Cartagena, a version of which was printed for the first time in 1482. Active at the court of Enrique IV of Castille and later he became preacher and spiritual counselor of Queen Isabel la Católica. From this period date his Dechado del Regimiento de príncipes, a short versified Espejo de príncipes, a Sermón trobado dedicated to King Ferdinand, a series of Coplas en que declara cómo por el advenimiento destos muy altos señores es reparada nuestra Castilla, as well as consolatory letters discussing the death of crown prince Juan de Aragon (1497) and Isabel de Aragón y Castilla (1498), other Coplas, allagorical poems etc. Due to some unknown scandal or conflict, he retired to the Franciscan friaries of Valladolid and Madrid, although he did act at chapter meetings and engaged on behalf of the Franciscans on disputes on the Immaculate Conception. He died in or before 1507/8.

works

El Vita Christi trobado, alias Vita Christi fecho en Coplas (Zamora: Antonio de Centenera, 1482). Eleven additional editions until the 17th cent. Quite wide-spread is La vida de Cristo en metro castellano (Sevilla, 1611/Valladolid: Fernández de Córdoba, 1615). In its older manuscript copies, there can be distinguished three versions. See for a discussion of these the 2010 study of J.M.V. Moreno. One of these versions apparently became dominant in the printed editions. For modern editions of the Vita Christi fecho en Coplas, which amounts to a poetic work of about 4000 lines (interspersed with popular poems, christmas songs etc.), dealing with the birth of Christ and the first week thereafter (until the massacre of the innocent children), see: Vita Christi fecho en Coplas, Facs. Ed. (Madrid: Real Academia Española, 1953); Vita Christi fecho en Coplas, ed. & introd. A. Pérez Gómez, Facs.

Tratado breve y muy provechoso de las ceremonias de la Misa con sus contemplaciones (Sevilla: Tres compañeros alemanes, 1499/Alcala, 1519/Alcala, 1541). It amounts to an explanation, in thirteen chapters, of the ceremonies of the Mass, replete with thirteen meditative exercises. The work is directed to ‘uncultured’ lay people, and aims to facilitate their meditation on Christ’s passion.

Dechado a la muy excelente reina señora Doña Isabel, nuestra soberana señora (Zamora, c. 1495/Saragossa, c. 1495), also known as Dechado del Regimiento de príncipes. It amounts to a work of political education, inspired by De Regimine Principum of Giles of Rome and the Glosas of Juan de Castrogeriz OFM. The message of political education is phrased in a symbolic narrative of cardinal virtues There exist several manuscript copies and the work also was issued in larger incunable and post-incunable productions.

Erasmus Schaltdorfer (Erasmus Schaltdorffer, 1440-1536)

OM & OFM. German friar. Studied at the Franciscan studium of Straßburg (1477). Active as preacher in the cathedral and in several churches. Also active in convents of Poor Clares and of the Friars Minor of Munich (1478). In 1478 he is also mentioned as lector in Schlettstadt, and from late September that year until late 1479 he is in Schaffhausen, where he held c. 70 sermons. In 1480, he apparently was back in Munich, only to leave temporarily when that convent was reformed the same year. Erasmus spent some months in Venice for study purposes, yet soon returned to Munich. The next decades he can be traced as Observant preacher in various houses of the Upper Germany province (for instance: 1486 in Landshut, 1486 in Bamberg, 1489 in Landshut, 1492 in Bamberg, and in Nürnberg parish churches, 1498 in Bamberg). In 1490 he apparently was guardian at Landshut. In 1495 he was vice-guardian in Munich, and in 1496 he was guardian in Ingolstadt. Erasmus preaching activities in the 1480s and 1490s are well-known through his Latin sermon book (MS Munich clm 8940 [once in the possession of the Munich convent], which contains aside from his own sermons and sermons of other friars, a range of references and predicabilia/adiumenta.

OSC. Italian Clarissan nun. Niece or cousin of the famous Eufrasia Alfani who had started the famous Memoriale at Monteluce. The younger Eufrasia (Midea di Asciano in secular life) had entered the Monteluce monastery in 1493, and later transferred with other nuns to reform the Borgo San Sepolcro monastery in 1500. Thereafter, Eufrasia was sent out to help reform the Santa Maria della Pace monastery in Norcia in 1518. She wrote a Memoriale of this reform process that is partly based on the example of an older account of the Borgo San Sepolcro monastery produced by Lorenza di Giovanni di Baldino.

Eulogius Schneider (Johann Georg Schneider, 1756-1794)

OFM. German friar, Joungest son of a winegrower family in Wipfeld am Main (within the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg). Destined for the clergy by his parents, he studied Latin at the local Heidenfeld monastery. At the age of twelve, he was accepted into a seminary/religious boarding house at Würzburg, also attending the local Jesuit Gymnasium. Notwithstanding problems with his teachers about his predelection for Sturm und Drang authors (such as Christian Fürchtegott Gellert and Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock), he finished his gymnasium training and at the age of 17 began studies in Philosophy and Law at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität in Würzburg. As this was against the wishes of his parents and his tutors, Schneider was expelled from the seminary. Moreover, when it came to light that he was having a love affair, he lost all support, and was forced to return to his parental home. Reconciled with his parents, Schneider began to study theology and entered the Observant Franciscan branch in Bamberg in April 1777, when he was 21 years old, adopting the order name Eulogius. He studied arts, metaphysics, natural and moral philosophy, and history at the order school in Bamberg and later in Salzburg, where he was ordained as a priest. Following a stint as philosophy lector in Augsburg, and making a name for himself as a preacher, Eulogius became in 1786 court chaplain at the court of Duke Carl II. Eugen of Württemberg. Elogius Schneider soon ran into trouble at the court, due to his appreciation of Enlightenment and Sturm und Drang authors. Fearing to be sent back to an enclosed monastic life, Eugenius obtained in 1789 a position as Professor of literature, rhetorics and art at the University of Bonn, where he taught, among others, Ludwig von Beethoven. In 1789, the year he started to teach at Bonn, Eulogius left the order, and with papal permission became a secular priest. Soon the published works of Eulogius created an outcry among the clery of the Archbishopric of Cologne. In the end, the Archduke of Austria first forbade the sale of Eulogius's books, and then fired him in June 1791. As he had sympathy for the revolutionary developments in France, Eulogius moved to Strassbourg, where he for a while still worked as a priest, seminary professor, episcopal vicar and as a preacher at Strasbourg cathedral, but soon became a public advocate for the revolution. He became the main editor of the revolutionary hebdomadaire Argos, oder der Mann mit hundert Augen, and became active in the local revolutionary tribunal, and as a supporter of the terror possibly co-signed circa 30 death sentences. He also translated the Marseillance into German. Late 1793, he married Sara Stamm, the daughter of a wine merchant, but he was apparently arrested a few hours or a few days after his wedding by partisans of Robbespierre in Strasbourg, who needed to forge new alliances after the eradication of the Girondines and partisants of Danton, and who suspected Eulogius of extremist social-revolutionary leanings associated with the sans-culottes and Jacques Hébert. Eulogius was accused of conspiracy, put on display at the revolutionary scaffold in Strasbourg (December 15, 1793), and then he was transported to Paris, where he was put to death on the guillotine on the first of April, 1794.

Eustochia Calafato (Smeralda Calafato Colonna, 1434-1486), beata

OSC. Italia Poor Clare from Messina. Daughter of the merchants Bernardo Cofino and Mascalda Romano. Mascalda educated her daughter in a very pious way, who was herself inspired by her contacts with the Observant friar Matteo d’Agrigento , and lived at home anWhen the father wanted to marry her off to a merchant widower, Smeralda Calafato opted against the wishes of her father for the monastic life and entered the Poor Clares at Santa Maria de Basicò (Messina), taking the name Eustochia. As she was dissatisfied with the relaxed lifestyle of her monastery, she obtained papal permission by pope Calixtus III to establish a new monastery where nuns could live according to the first rule (Privilegium Paupertatis) of Claire [BF II, n. 388 & 439]. After living some years in the old hospital of Santa Maria Accomandata (1460-1463), she eventually (1463) was able to transfer her community to Santa Maria di Montevergine. There she established a reputation of holyness as sister and abbess, renowned for her spiritual exhortations concerning the suffering Christ and her enthousiasm for the cult of Saint Francis, Saint Paul, Saint Jerome, and Saint Andreas. She died on 20 January 1486. Her grave became a cult site. An official inquiry was started in 1640, ending with her official beatification and a confirmation of her cult by Pius VI (1782). Her feast is celebrated in the order on the 27th or the 28th of February. She left behind some writings, predominantly prayers and fragments of religious conversations, a spiritual Libretto (which would include a Libro de la Passione) and a Monte de la orazione. Several fragments of these texts are collected in the Legenda compiled by her fellow sisters between 1487 and 1490 (see editions below).

Monte de la orazione. A manuscript of a Sicilian version survived as Lu libru di lu Munti di la sanctissima oracioni: MS Palermo, Bib. Comunale cod. 2 Qq. E. 19.

Evangelista Momigno de' minori osservanti (Pistoia: Pietro Antonio Fortunato, 1646/Venice: Turrini, 1648/Venice: Turrini, 1655 [4th Ed.]/1659). the 4th edition from 1655 is accessible via the Bibliothèque Comunale de Lyon, via Google Books and a number of other portals. The 4th edition formed the basis of a Latin translation: Diarium Quadragesimale P.F. Evangelistae de Momingo (...), trans. Bruno Neusser (Cologne: Joannes Bussaeus, 1659). Accessible via Google Books.

Accessible via the digital collections of the British Library and via Google Books.

As a counterpart to the Diario quadragesimale, Momigno would also have composed a collection of Lenten sermons for the giorni feriali, yet this might not have seen the printing press. Antonio Terrinca and Juan de San Antonio after him suggested that this was once present in the S. Laccherini friary outside Pistoia.

Sbaralea also assigns to him the Promptuarium sermonum de Tempore (Cologne, 1659), yet that seems to be the work of Joannes Claudius Deville.
