Jacobus Blanchi de Alexandria (Jacobus Brancus Albensis/Giacomo dei Bianchi/de Albis/de Alexandria, d. ca. 1340)

OM. Italian friar from Alessandria in Piemonte. Priest or cappellanus in 1316. Schneyer would like to identify him with Jacobus de Blanconibus de Mevania OP! Yet he seems to have been a Franciscan friar, member of the ‘famiglia’ of the preacher-king Robert of Anjou. Ca. 60 sermones de tempore and another 50 sermones de festis have survived. Juan de San Antonio also mentions a Jacobus Albensis/Brancus from the Genua province, who would have been active around the same time and who would have created a poetic work on the qualities of a good superior, based on patristic sayings and rules taken from canon law, as well as philosophical and metaphysical works and a treatise on the immaculate conception of the Virgin. Yet it is unclear to me as to whether this Jacobus Albensis/Brancus should be identified with Jacobus Blanchi de Alexandria, or rather with Jacobus Henricus de Alba. Are these the one and the same person?

He is known to have held and apparently also published a funerary oration at the occasion of the death of King Philip II of Spain in 1598. Jacobus died on 21 March 1618. He would have written a number of other works and was encouraged by his fellow friar and one-time socius Henry Willot, to make them ready for print, yet for most of the works in question that apparently did not happen.

Jacobus Capelli (Jacobus de Capellis [Jacobus Mediolanensis/Giacomo di Milano], mid-13th century?)

OM. Italian friar. Franciscan theologian and inquisitor. Lector of theology of Milan and alleged composer of a Summa Contra Hereticos (between 1240-1260), against the Cathars of Lombardy, and 52 Conciones Quadragesimale. There has been some discussion about the question whether Jacobus Capelli (author of Conciones Quadragesimales and the alleged author of Summa contra Hereticos) and Jacob of Milan (the author of the Stimulus Amoris) were one and the same person. Now, they are seen to be two different persons.

The Summa Contra Hereticos has been edited as an anonymous work by D. Bazzocchi, L'erezia catara.

Pseudo Capelli is more honest and careful in representing the positions of the Cathars than most authors of anti-heretical treatises.

Jacobus Dacianus (Jacobo Daciano/Iacobus Gottorpius/Jakob den Danske, 1484-1566)

OMObs & OFM. Danish friar (possibly natural son of the Danish King). He entered the Franciscan Order at a young age, and went through the order’s school network, studying Latin, Greek and Hebrew (alongside of German and Danish). He was active in the Malmö friary (present-day Sweden). There he preached and argued against Lutheranism. A few years later, in 1530, the Franciscans were driven out of the friary by the Lutherans. Jacob described this expulsion and the flight from Scandinavia (in his expulsion chronicle, which was written to provide evidence iof the friars’ possessions in view of a possible return at a later date. Apparently, Jacob stayed in Denmark until the final Lutheran takeover of Malmö in 1536. Thereafter, he and many other friars with him went into exile. At first he traveled to Mecklenburg under the protection of Duke Albrecht who had fought for the Catholics in the civil war. In Mecklenburg, Jacob was appointed (the last) provincial minister of the Franciscan Dacia province. Soon after, Jacob moved to Spain, and shortly before or in 1540, he received royal permission to depart for New Spain. In 1542 Jacob arrived in Veracruz, Mexico, never to return. He studied a number of indigenous languages (spending three years at the Colegio de Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco studying Nahuatl), before receiving a misionary station at Michoacán to work among the native Purhépecha. He learned the Purhépecha language and became active as a missionary. Almost from the beginning, he lobbied for indigenous rights. Soon, this caused friction with the civil authorities of New Spain, as well as with fellow friars (including Juan de Gaona), order superiors and secular clergymen. Jacob is famous for his Declamación del pueblo bárbaro de los Indios que habiendo recibido el bautismo, desean recibir los demas sacramentos (ca. 1550-1553), in which he maintained that converted indigenous people should be given the opportunity to be ordained into the priesthood. He was forced to do penitence for this position, also because he had maintained that a church that did not allow the baptized Indians from the New World to participate fully in all the other sacraments was not a truly apostolic church and a in fact a body engaged in a form of heresy. After numerous years as a missionary, Jacob died in the Tarecuato friary Michoacán, in the bishopric of Zamora, where he had been appointed guardian.

He took part in the discussions concerning Franciscan poverty with Gonsalvo of Balboa, who had been asked to explain the Franciscan poverty position at the Council of Vienne by Clement V. Giacomo was one of the composers of the Conventual Responsio, directed against the Rotulus written by Ubertino of Casale. He also was a member of the committee that prepared the statement condemning the works of Olivi and issuing rules concerning the Conventual approach towards Olivi’s writings and his cult (leading up to the exhumation and burning of Olivi’s bones in 1318). He is known to have composed a Sentences commentary, biblical commentaries and quodlibetal questions, as well as an index on the works of John Duns Scotus (Tabula Scoti).

Jacobus de Carceto (Jacobus de Quarcheto/de Kaisneto/Jacques de Quesnoy, fl. end 13thcent.)

OM. French friar from Parvillers-Le Quesnoy (Northern France), where he joined the Friars Minor. Taught at Paris in the last decade of the thirteenth century, where he reached the magisterium theologiae, and acted as regent ca.1290-1292. He still figures as master of theology in June 1303, when he refused to support a summon of the French king Philippe le Bel to sign a document directed against pope Boniface VIII, as a result of which Quesnoy (together with John Duns Scotus and a range of other Parisian masters who also refused to sign) had to leave France within three days. Once upon a time it seemed that no writings of Quesnoy had survived, but it seems that the Sentences Commentary of Vital du Four (Rome BAV Lat. 1085) is a very close adaptation of that of Quesnoy, who was Vital du Four’s teacher at Paris. Doucet has provided arguments to assign to Quesnoy some quodlibetal questions. Yet these are sometimes also attributed to Raymond Rigaud and/or Jacob of Ascoli (MS Padua, Antonianum 426 & MS Todi, Biblioteca Comunale 98). In a forthcoming article, Sylvain Piron will argue that an ascription to Raymond Rigaud is the most plausible option.

Jacobus de Grumello (fl. early 16th cent.)

OMObs. Italian friar from Grumello (Bergamo). Taught theology at the Bergamo convent before he became vicar of the Observant province of Brescia. During this period, he obtained a name as public preacher. He made a transcription of the sermons of Bernardino da Feltre, and also compiled a volume of Franciscan legislative/normative texts (Miscellanea Iuris Franciscalis), which was published in 1502 and 1504. According to Mariano da Firenze, Giacomo, confronted the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola in Florence. Giacomo died in the Feltre friary.

Serena conscientia in Regulam Fratrum Minorum? Mentioned by Juan de San Antonio and Sbaralea. Might be the same work as the Miscellanea Iuris Franciscalis, but there also might be a confusion with Tractatus in Regulam Fratrum Minorum seu Serena Conscientia of Alexander de Ariostis de Bononia (Alessandro Ariosto), which was printed for the first time in 1502 (see the entry of Alexander de Ariostis de Bononia). Maybe Grumello was the editor of the 1502 imprint of Ariosto's compilation.

Miscellanea Iuris Franciscalis (Brescia, 1502/Venice, 1504). This work, which is dedicated to Girolamo Tornielli (general vicar of the Cismontan Observants), contains the Rule of Francis, the Constitutions of Benedict XII, the Farinarian Constitutions, the Constitutions of Martin V, the 1443 Constitutions of John Capistran, as well as several rule commentaries.

Jacobus de Marchia (Jacobus Picenus/Giacomo della Marca/Domenico Gangali, 1393, Monteprandone - 1476, Naples), Sanctified in 1726 (feast day 28 November)

OMObs. Italian friar. Born in Monteprandone (Ascoli Piceno). Entered the Observant branch of the Franciscan order c. 1415/16 near Assisi (at the convent of S. Maria degli Angeli) after studies of the liberal arts at Ascoli, and studies of canon and civil law at the university of Perugia. Took his profession under the name of Giacomo on August 1, 1416. Studied theology with John Capistran under Bernardine of Siena and was active as popular preacher in Toscane, Umbria and the Marsh of Ancona from ca. 1426 onwards (first sermon held in 1420 near Florence, on the feast day of Anthony of Padua), until 1467 [Cf. the autograph MS BAV Vat.Lat. 7780 f. 1v: ‘Ego frater Iacobus de Monteprandone ordinis minorum etate viginto duorum annorum in nomine Domini ingressus sum in [ordinem] sancti Francisci de mense julii 1416. Et incepi predicare in festo sancti Antonii de Padua in sancto Salvatore prope Florentiam 1420. Et dimisi predicationem in festo sancti Bernardini de mense madii 1467, manu propria; habens etatem septuaginta quinque annorum’ After May 1467 Giacomo did no longer embark on large preaching trips, yet it would seem that he did continue to preach locally on sun- and feast days (in the S. Maria La Nuova at Naples. In the same manuscript BAV Vat.Lat 7780, Giacomo states (f.70v): ‘Tria sunt necessaria ad conmendationem veri predicatoris: primo, vita bona; 2, doctrina salutifera et assidua; 3, proles sancta et fecunda.’ In his sermon in honour of S. Bernardino, these qualifications of the preacher are elaborated further (ed. D. Pacetti, AFH 36 (1943), 84ff.: Tria debet habere predicator, videlicet: vitam bonam, doctrinam salutiferam, et perseverantiam. a) Primo, vita bona (…) In verbo(…) Secundo, exemplo (…) Tertio, opere (…) Ideo dicit Ecclesia: ‘iste est qui magnas virtutes operatus est, et omnis terra doctrina eius repleta est.’ b) Secundo, doctrina salutifera. S. Franciscus declarat hanc doctrinam salutiferam in capitulo nono Regule, dicens: ‘Moneo quoque et exortor eosdem fratres, ut in predicatione quam faciunt sint examinata et casta eorum eloquia, ad utilitatem et edificationem populi, annuntiando eis vitia et virtutes, penam et gloriam.’ Hic ponit S. Franciscus duo notabilia. Primum notabile, quod predicatores ante predicationem debent examinare eorum eloquia, quod sint casta sicut eloquia Dei; Psalmus [11,7]‘Salvum me fac: Eloquia Domini eloquia casta: argentum igne examinatum, purgatum septuplum.’ Id est septem examinationes quas debet habere predicator veritatis: Prima, quod non sit in eius verbis aliquod verbum contra fidem. Secundo, non scandalizosum contra proximum, verbis simulatis infamando aliquem, vel ex invidia vel odio unus predicator contra alium, quia tales depredicationibus Dei effecti sunt predicatores blasfemie. (…) Tertio, quod non predicet per avaritiam vel per salarium. S. Paulus nolebat quod fierent collectas in predicatione (…) Quarto, non predicet adulando, ut placeat populo. Unde Ysaie (…) Quinto, non predicent res inutiles sibi et populo. Unde Ysidorus(…). Sexto, non predicent subtilia, que non possunt capi a populo, sed ut se ostendat valentem hominem. Unde Ieronimus (…) Septimo, quod predicatio sua non sit contra seipsum cum mala vita. Unde Paulus ad Romanos 2 cap., 21-22, inquit: ‘Quid ergo alium doces, et te ipsum non doces? (…) Secundum notabile de S. Francisco. Quod sunt quatuor: Primum predicare contra vitia; secundum predicare virtutes; tertium penam; quartum gloriam vite eterne. c) Tertio, perseverantia. Numquam defecit expugnare divinas offensas; numquam defecit dirigere devios ad vitam eternam; numquam defecit defensare Ecclesiam Dei; numquam defecit manifestare gloriam Dei. Sicut Angelus in celo, et ille in terra: et ideo honoratus est coram Deo et hominibus (…)’)]. Active supporter of the Observantist cause, and generally regarded as one of the `pillars' of the Italian Observance. Known for his many preaching journeys, and his attempts to reform the morals of Italian city life. Founder of several lay confraternities and of institutions meant to subvert illegal money lending activities (so-called Montes Pietatis). Active as inquisitor (alongside of John of Capistran, against remnants of the fraticelli, in 1426, and independently in Hungary and Italy in 1436), crusade preacher against the Turcs, and commisioner of the order in Bosnia (1432), Hungary and Italy. He tried in vain to reconcile the conventuals and the observants on request of Calixtus III. In 1462 he became involved in a controvery around the veneration of the Blood of Christ with Jacob of Brescia OP. Eventually, Pope Pius II had to order both parties (both inquisitors) to keep silent on the subject. Giacomo was an avid book collector. His personal library counted no less than 185 manuscripts. See on this esp. the 1971 volume of Picenum Seraphicum, as well as the studies of Crivellucci (1889), Pagnani (1952), Boumann (1969), and Gattucci (1981). Giacomo died at Naples on 28 November 1476. Beatified in 1624 by Urban VIII and canonised in 1726 by Benedict XIII. Just like the other foremen of the Italian Observance, Giacomo left a large number of sermons, in which he developed his moral theology, expressed his themes of reform, and fulminated against the sins of his time (luxuria, vanitates mulierum, sodomia, ludi, usuria, etc.). On the basis of his own sermon manuscripts, written and compiled during his preaching career, Giacomo eventually distilled a more or less finalized series of Sermones Quadragesimales and Sermones Dominicales (Latin model sermons, following the main rules of the Artes Praedicandi, and no direct witnesses of his vernacular preaching style. For his preaching style, we might refer to the surviving reportationes of two sermons held at Padua in 1460). The Latin Sermones Dominicales have been edited by Lioi. The Sermones Quadragesimales still await their first critical edition. Alongside of his sermons, he engaged in the production of treatises (mostly reworked sermons) for the preparation of the sacrament of penance.

works

Remark: Many of Giacomo della Marca's works are to be found in the MSS of the communal libraries of Monteprandone, Falconara, Modena, and Foligno, the Vatican library, the S. Isidore library, the Bib. Naz. of Naples, the library of Venice, and the Oxford Bodleian library. An exhaustive listing of his works is made in Dionysius Lasic, De vita et operibus S. Iacobi de Marchia. Studium et Recensio Quorundam Textum (Falconara, 1974). On the basis of this list (and remarks by other scholars, we can mention the following genuine works (leaving aside Lasic’s list of dubious and spurious works):

Campus Florum (October 1450): Monteprandone 45. Cf. Lasic, De Vita et Operibus, 182 & R. Lioi, Picenum Seraphicum 7 (1970), 111-177. [A kind of confession manuel/‘dizionario giuridico-morale’, compiled with recourse to many canonist and theological authorities, with specific attention for themes (such as blasphemia, confessio, matrimonium, ornatus mulierum, usura, etc.) that are also dealt with in the sermon cycles of Giacomo.]

Compendium Theologiae Moralis (April 1442): MS Oxford Bodleian Library cod. Lat.Can. Misc. 262 ff. 1-222. Cf. Lasic, De Vita et Operibus, 183 & R. Lioi, Picenum Seraphicum 7 (1970), 111-177. [Very akin to the Campus Florum (possibly a first version of the Campus) and predominantly based on the works of Petrus Quesvel.]

Summula Iuridico-moralis: Cf. Lasic, De Vita et Operibus, 183 [Moral theological summa for confession and instruction purposes (meant for (incumbent) priests, with guidelines for consecration of the altar, the rites of baptism, rules for confession, papal dispensations, excommunication]

Sermones Quadragesimales: MS Foligno Biblioteca Comunale C.A.IX.i.ii (Cod. II, 103 sermons. Cf. R. Lioi, ‘I ‘Sermones Quadragesimales’ di S.

Sermones Domenicales. Aside from the various Monteprandone manuscripts (‘autograph’ manuscripts [an ongoing discussion!]) mentioned further down below that contain many sermon skeletons that found their way in the final versions of Giacomo’s cycle of sermones domenicales), and more in particular MS Monteprandone, Archivio Municipale 38 (Cf. the introduction to Lioi’s edition of the Sermones dominicales), we can point at MS Naples, Naz.

On f. 2v-3r can be found an alphabetical index to the sermons, making it extremely useful a a guide for thematic preaching. Among the 98 topics listed in this alphabetical index (Lasic, 479-480), which refer to the 85 sermons in the manuscripts, the following are directly geared to straightforward catechistic issues (although many of the other items in the list touch on comparable themes of moral and religious instruction, and on social issues that were the hallmark of Observant preaching and have connections with the guidebooks for living a Christian life that stem from the same period): De baptismo (refers to sermon on f. 78r), De confessione (refers to sermon on f. 253r-v), De conscientia (refers to sermon on ff. 222v-224v), De Corpore Christi (refers to sermons on ff. 102v-104v, ff. 105r-109r).

On f. 4r-v is found a Tabula Librorum Iacobi: a list of books that Giacomo possessed at the end of his life (for listing see Lasic, 480-482). After this list, the sermons themselves start on f. 8r (for a more full description, see Lasic, 483-515): De usuris (ff. 8r-12v); De mendacio (ff.12v-17v); De gloriosissimo Jeronimo (ff. 18r-24v); De obedientia et fidelitate subditorum dominorum temporalium (ff. 25r-27r); De resurrectione Domini (ff. 27r-31v); De magnificentia et confusione sacre fidei christiane (ff. 46r-48v);De Epiphania (ff. 48v-53v); De excommunicatione (ff. 53v-56v); De reliquis et veneratione sanctorum (fragment: f. 57r-v); De miseria humana (ff. 58r-60v); De paxione (ff. 60v-62v); De S.

In addition, we find in an appendix to volume III a Sermo de malignitate peccati mortalis: Dominica eadem (III, 390-401); a sermo de mirabili virtute patientie (dominica 17, III, 402-411); and a Sermo de mirabili gloria et beneficio angelorum erga homines:in eadem dominica [resurrectionis] (III, 412-422). For purposes of basic religious instruction, we might single out several sermons, namely sermon 25 for Dominica Le: De Sacramento Confessionis [which contains ‘sex articulos utilissimos’ (quid est penitentia (interpreted as the sacrament of penance or confession, consisting of the contritio cordis, confessio oris et satisfactio operis), qualiter debet se preparare ad confessionem (ten ways to prepare oneself), utrum necesse sit confiteri circumstantias (reaching back to the popular ‘versus’: quis, que, ubi, per quos, quotiens, cur, quomodo, quando, quilibet observet anime medicamina dando), ut sit preceptum confiteri peccata (showing that that the confession of sins is a preceptum divinum et apostolicum), quot modis non est quis absolutus (19 cases in which absolution can not be granted), utrum sit absolutus de quibus sacerdos non habet auctoritatem (interesting point in the face of the conflicts between mendicants and secular priests, and implicitly walking a fine line between basing sacramental efficacy totally on the priest’s function and his personal merit (in)validating the sacrament.)]; sermon 49 for Dominica 5a pro Pasca: De septem petitionibus et oratione dominica [which deals with the fact that the Pater noster as oratio perfecta contains ‘tria meritoria’, namely the orationis breviatio, the benevolentie captatio, and a honesta conclusio petitionum. Giacomo makes clear from the outset that the concise nature of the Pater Noster agrees with the apostolic statement ‘verbum abreviatum fecit Deum super terram (which also, as we have seen, plays a role in the Franciscan attitude to/theory of preaching). In fact (II, 258): ‘Nulla quippe oratio tam brevis in tota divina Scriptura reperiri potest, nec tam sancta sicut sanctum Pater noster. Et hoc ex multis de causis. Primo, ut ab omnibus sciatur; secundo, ut melius memoretur; tertio, ut frequenter dicatur; quarto, ut orans tedio non afficiatur; quinto, ut nemo de eius ignorantia excusetur; sexto, ut Dominus cito exaudire ostendatur; septimo, ut magis corde quam ore legi debeatur.’ After the section in the benevolentie captatio, which deals with the approach of God in the statement Pater noster qui es in caelis, Giacomo analyses at large the meaning of the seven petitiones included in the Pater noster text (‘Tertia vero principalis continet septem petitiones, videlicet: prima, Patris honorificationem; secunda,sui glorificationem, ibi: adveniat; tertia, divine voluntatis, ibi: fiat voluntas tua; quarta, necessitatum corporalium subventionem, ibi: panem; quinta, peccatorum remissionem, ibi: dimicte nobis; sexta, temptationis ansiationem, ibi: et ne nos;septima, a morte eterna liberationem, ibi: sed libera nos.’]; sermon 81 for Dominica 15: De doctrina puerorum [dealing in seven articles with: qualiter instruendi sint pueri circa fidem et sacramenta, qualiter instruendi sint circa sensus, qualiter instruendi sint circa potum et cibum, qualiter instruendi sint circa coniugia, qualiter instruendi sint circa ludum gestum et vestitum, qualiter instruendi sint circa societatem. The first article urges (III, 145): ‘Primo, erudire illos de articulis fidei, ut sint veri christiani et discernantur a paganis. (…) continetur quod patres spirituales et matres tenentur docere filios suos spirituales cognoscere Deum, servare castitatem, diligere iustitiam, tenere caritatem et Pater noster et articulos fidei eosdem perfecte docere. Secundo, assuefacere eos ad minus in septennio et ante et post ad confessionem et ecclesiarum visitationem, ut devotos et reverentes circa spiritualia se habeant. Et in hoc multum videntur pater et mater cum maiorem curam habeant circa porcellum quam circa filios (…) Tertio debent docere eos super omnia Deum timere, Deum amare, Deum cognoscere et ipsum sequi (…)’ In this, as in the other articles, Giacomo unfolds a proverbial Observant Franciscan program of education, reminiscent of the larger contemporary Observant treatises that dealt with such issues.]

Jacobus de Milano (Jacobus Mediolanensis/Giacomo da Milano, fl. late 13th-early 14th century)

OM. Italian friar. Not sure whether the author should be identified with the Jacobus Mediolanensis who was lector at Milan in the late thirteenth century, as is claimed in De Conformitate (AF IV, 341). The most recent literature tend to negate this identification. Our Jacob is the author of the famous Stimulus Amoris (the oldest (shorter version) of which has survived in more than 90 mss, whereas a later (longer) redaction would have survived in more than 130 mss), centered on the love for and imitation of Christ, adoration of the Virgin, and the contemplation and union with God. The work, which stands in a Bonaventurean tradition, was predominantly meant for literate lay people and female religious, as a kind of spiritual vade mecum. The oldest (short) version contains 23 chapters. Chapters 1-3 describe the necessary predisposition of body and soul to enable meditative progress and to please God. Chapters 4-9 describe/analyse the ways leading to true contemplation (repentance, compassion with the suffering Christ, true desire to be with God etc.), and describe how the soul gets enflamed with the love of/for God. Chapters 10-15 number the necessities of the contemplative soul (esp. recourse to the Passion of Christ). Chapters 16-23 give additional details on the means to arrive at perfection. The Stimulus Amoris used to be ascribed to Henri of Beaume (d. 1439) and Bonaventure, and can be found in the editions of the collected works of the latter.

In addition, Ruh mentions an additional 150 abbreviations and abstracts. See K. Ruh, Bonaventura Deutsch, 272-278; K. Ruh, Geschichte der abendländischen Mystik, 442]
For editions, see: Stimulus Amoris, in: Bonaventura, Opera Omnia, 10 (Quaracchi, 1905), reprint in: Bibliotheca Franciscana Ascetica Medii Aevi, 4 (Quaracchi, 1905 & 19492) [this is the short redaction]; Bonaventura, Opera Omnia, ed. A.-C. Peltier, XII (Paris, 1868), 631-703 [the long redaction]. There is also an old edition of the long redaction by Johannes Quentin (Paris, Claude de Jaumar, 14 Oct. 1493). The short redaction has received a modern French translation by Ubald d’Alençon (L’aiguillon d’amour (Paris, 1910)). One of the medieval Tuscan translations has been partly edited in I mistici del Duecento e del Trecento, ed. A. Levasti (Milan, 1925), 239-251. A medieval English translation with comments by Walter Hilton (d. 1395) has been published as The Goad of Love. An unpublished translation of the Stimulus Amoris (London, 1952). For a later, Recusant version, see the 2021 article of Allan F. Westphall (which also provides additional information on the work, its version and transmission). An Italian translation by Chiara Giovanna Cremaschi is found in: I Mistici. Scritti dei Mistici Francescani Secolo XIII, I (Assisi-Bologna, 1995), 805-884.

According to Bonelli, this extract was compiled by Jacob of Milan. Cf. DSpir I, 1848]

OFM & OFMCap. Italian friar. Entered the Observant branch in 1509 in Apulia, to pass to the Capuchins of the Bari (Naples?) province in 1536. Famous for his lengthy preaching tours throughout the Italian peninsula, in which he came up sor social justice (strong critic of civic authorities that suppressed the poor; founder of montes pietatis) as well as doctrinal purity (‘hammer of the heretics’). Died at the Mesagna convent of Brindisi in 1561. During his lifetime, Giacomo published several works that, in the form of a dialogue, deal with major issues of moral and doctrinal theology, and apparently were first and foremost aimed at the conversion of Jews.

[provides a clear introduction in eleven parts on catholic doctrine regarding the immaculate conception, (original) sin, the divine laws and their foundation for natural and human law, condemnation of usury, etc. Many issues are dealt with in the form of a dialogue between David and Salomon. Apparently, the New Testament, the church fathers, and other christian theologians are not mentioned by name. It has been suggested that the work therefore might have been first and foremost directed at Jews.]

Cargnoni (Perugia, 1991), 3301-3333 [Amounts to a reworking of his first work, and explains that the evangelical law and the law of nature coincide. Hence the observance of natural law and the law of Moses consists in following the evangelical precepts, which therefore is a debitum for every Christian. Yet, the world still is full of sins, showing that many people do not adhere to these precepts. To mend this, the author presents in systhematic fashion the evangelical preceps taught by the son of God and approved and confirmed by the Catholic Church. In all, the work presents 40 precepts contained in the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ. Also makes clear that ‘Gli prelati, padri spirituali, padri e madre carnali, maestri, compari e comari sono obligati insegnare alli suoi figliuoli gli precetti della legge, gli articoli della fede e segnarsi del segno della croce e il Padre nostro’ (Cited from I Frati Cappuccini.

Jacobus de Tastera (Jacobo de Testera, fl. 16th cent.)

OFM. French (Basque?) frir. Born in Bayonne (France) in a noble family. He entered the Franciscan order around 1500 and subsequently made his way Spain, first to Seville and later to the court of Charles V, where he became a palace priest. In 1527, he encountered Antonio de Ciudad Rodrigo, who convinced him to become a missionary in New Spain (Mexico), where Tastera arrived in 1529. He soon was appalled by the treatment of indigenous people (also witnessed the beating to death of the indigenous ruler of Tacubaya by Diego Delgadillo, who was outraged that the man in question was not able/willing to provide him with a sufficient number of workers to finish his palace). For a while, Tastera was the socius of Bishop Zumárraga, but later he became a full-blown missionary, working together with Pedro de Gante (Peter van Gent/Peter of Ghent), and like him Tastera produced catechistic materials for the natives, concentrating on rebus-like image-catechisms (hence the so-called Testerian codices). He also worked with Toribio de Benavente (Motolinia) and he befriended Bartolomé de las Casas. In the course of his missionary career, Tastera worked in Michoacán, Atlixco, and thereafter in Yucatán (Maya) and Huejotzinco (Nahua population), where he spent the last years of his life.

Jacobus de Valencia (Diego de Valencia/Diego Moxena, ca. 1350-after 1424)

OM. Spanish friar. Important theologian and controversialist. Probably has to be identified with Diego Moxena. Originated from Valencia de Alcántara in the Cáceres province (and not from Valencia de Don Juan in the Léon province). Yet active at the convent of Léon as bachelor to teach the Sentences in and after 1375. This implies that he previously had gone through the lectorate program, which would put his date of birth around 1350 or shortly before). In 1378, he receives permission to pursue a theology degree at a studium generale. Not known when he reached the magisterium, yet he was one of the candidates for a theology chair at the University of Salamanca in 1410. If the identification with Diego Moxena is correct, he played a significant role during the later phases of the great schism and at the Council of Constance. In 1414, Diego Moxena abandoned the party of Benedict XIII (with whom he had close relations since 1405), to support the conciliarists. He also would have convinced king Ferdinand I of Aragon to do the same. At the council, Moxena raised charges of heresy against Hus concerning the latter’s position on the Trinity and the Incarnation. When Moxena eventually was disappointed with the choice of Martin V, he changed camps, running back to Benedict XIII.
Diego de Valencia/Diego Moxena has left a considerable and varied literary legacy. Under the name of Diego de Valencia, he is the author, and partly the destinator, of a range of poems that later were assembled in the Cancionero of Juan Alfonso de Baena, which is one of the most important Castilian poetic anthologies of the early fifteenth century. Juan Alfonso de Baena calls Diego a ‘muy grant letrado e grant maestro en todas les artes liberales’, and a ‘muy grant fisico, astrólogo e mecánico, tando e tan mucho que en su tiempo non se falló omne tan fundado en todas ciencias como él’ (Cancionero no. 473), as well as a ‘maestro muy famoso en la santa teologia’ (Cancionero no. 519). Under the name Diego Moxena, he has left a range of theological works, religious songs,as well as works that have a bearing on the conciliar movement during the council of Constance.

These visits are preceded by five introductory sections: on the reasons why Palestine is called the Holy Land, on the various regions of the Holy Land, on the love of Francis of Assisi for the region, the divine choice of making the Franciscans the custodians of the Holy Land , and a list of 21 Franciscan friaries in the Provincia d’Oltremare.

Jacobus Fuhrer (fl. first half 16th cent.)

OFM. German friar. Born in Zwickau (Saxony), he studied for his order at the University of Wittenberg, where he was Baccalaureus Biblicus (29 August, 1518), Baccalaureus Sententiarum (early 1521) and Baccalaureus Formatus (by 22 November of that same year). In the mean time, he came under the influence of Lutheranism. Luther apparently mentioned him in a letter of 3 October 1519, calling him a modest man of a superior mind. To take him away from these Lutheran influences, his order superiors sent Jacob to the St. Jacobus Monastery in Breslau, and from there to Löwenberg. Yet Jacob Fuhrer continued to express his reformist ideas to fellow friars and lay people in his preaching. Eventually, the order asked him to retract his points of view, whereupon Jacob left the order. When the Franciscan friars were forced to leave the town of Löwenberg, the city council asked Jacob Fuhrer to stay on and to provide religious services and sermons in the former Franciscan church. He can be traced there until 1545. Works?

Jacobus Oddi de Perugia (Jacobus Odo/Giacomo Oddi di Perugia, d. 1488 (1483?))

OMOBS. Italian friar. Born in Perugia, early 15th century. Influential merchant, until he entered the Franciscan Observant branch in 1448, after an Eastern sermon of friar Robert Caraccioli de Lecce (!). Several times guardian of the Sta Maria degli Angeli convent of Assisi (1453, 1458), the convent of Perugia (1460) and that of Terni (1474-1477, 1483). Died at the convent of Monterupido in Perugia on March 6, 1488. Produced in the Umbrian dialect La Specchio de l'ordine minore or La Franceschina (ca. 1474), which is a collection of saints’ lives and legendaries divided in thirteen books, each of which focues on a specific virtue (and the Francican saints and beati from Saint Francis to St. John of Capistran embodying it), written for edifying purposes (meant for his fellow friars of the Umbrian province). The work is heavily dependent upon the Chronica XXIV Generalium, Angelo Clareno’s Historia Septem Tribulationum, and (predominantly) De Conformitate of Bartholomew of Pisa. Giacomo presented the history of the Observant movement as the continuation of the spiritual quest to keep alive the primitive Franciscan ideals. After three prologues and a preface celebrating Francis’ providential vocation, his life, the evangelical character of his Rule, and the evangelical lifestyle of the primitive fraternity, the work tends to present in thirteen chapters or books (in accordance with the first group of Friars (Francis and his twelve compagnions) a full palet of various Franciscan figures and Franciscan virtues (chapters 1-11 deal with negation of the wordly ways, obedience, poverty, chastety, charity, the spirit of prayer, the spirit of humility, patience, penitence, the other virtues and the negation of the self Chapters 12-13 deal with the punishment of the wayward and the recompensation of the true followers of the Franciscan rule). Very exemplary approach; heavy emphasis on importance of visions and apparitions. Several sixteenth century manuscripts contain series of meaningful illustrations (reproduced in the critical edition of Cavanna). Jérome Poulenc writes in his entry on Giacomo in Dspir VIII, 51-52: ‘Vivant témoignage de la manière dont étaient proposées et comprises les valeurs du franciscanisme au niveau de l’existence quotidienne des couvents de l’Observance en Ombrie au cours des 15e et 16e siècles, La Franceschina apporte nombre d’élements pouvant servir à l’étude de la mentalité et des modes d’expression dans lesquels se moulait la spiritualité de ce groupe de religieux. A ce titre elle mérite certainement de retenir l’attention.’

Jacobus Reggius (Jacobus Raggius/Giacomo Francesco Raggi/Jacobo Raggi/Joannes Franciscus Giragus, fl. mid 17th cent.)

OFMCap. Italian friar of noble Genoese descent. Related to Cardinal Lorenzo Raggi. Member of the Capuchin Genoa province. Lector of theology and provincial definitor. It has been suggested that Giacomo Francesco Raggi OFMCap is a Pseudonym for Johannes Franciscus Giragus, SJ., alleged author of the Dubiorum centuria de regimine regularium (Lyon, 1646), but several elements of the various Centuria mentioned below, such as the praise for the excellence of the mendicant orders at the beginning of the De regimine regularium prima centuria, the emphasis on specific elements of Franciscan poverty [Pars tertia, Dub. LXXXV, LXXXVI] as well as the approbation of the work by the Capuchin order leadership (Fortunato Cadero, Giovanni da Montecalerio), and most of all the acknowledgment of the author that he has previously produced a Dubiorum Centuria de regimini regularium sub nomine Ioannis Francisci Giragi, and that this was an assumed name (hence not the true name of a Jesuit author), seem to indicate that the real author of this work was a Capuchin friar. He would have succumbed to the plague in 1657.

OFM. German friar from the Saxony province. Active in Erfurt and lector in Dresden; defended the stigmata of Francis against Luther. Already in 1519 he held a disputation in Wittenberg during the Franciscan provincial chapter in which he discussed Christian knighthood and the wounds of Francis (Cf.

Jacobus Senensis (Jacobus de’Tolomei de Siena/Jacobus Tundo, 1323-1390)

OM. Italian friar from Montalcino (near Siena), theologian, inquisitor, bischop of Narni (1378-1383), Chiusi (1383-1384) and Grosseta (from 1384 onwards). He entered the order in 1337, at the age of 14. Was ordained priest on 21 December 1342. Thereafter sent to Bologna (1345) and Paris (1346) for his lectorate course. Came back to Italy to teach theology at Padua, Florence, Siena, and Assisi. On 15 November 1366 he obtained the grade of master of theology. Afterwards, he fulfilled several administrative and inquisitorial positions at the provincial level: custodian of the Florentine custody in 1360, and of the Siena custody in 1362. Between 1364 and 1367 he was inquisitor for Tuscany, a function he fulfilled for the Siena area in 1371. Appointed bishop of Narni in 1378. As bishop under the obedience of pope Urban VI, he had to struggle against the partisans of the Avignon papacy of Clemens VII. In order to curtail the activities of the remaining Michaelists (partisans of the former minisster general Michael of Cesena), he prompted Andrea Ricci de Firenze to compile a Tractatus contra Fraticellos. Jacob was transferred to the episcopal see of Chiusi in 1383, and to the see of Grosseta in 1384. Died in the latter diocese in Castiglione della Pascaia, sometime in June 1390. Most information on Jacob’s life and works is derived from a short, but interesting autobiography (BAV MS Arch. S. Pietro F 32 f. 351v), which also contains details on the Tuscan order province during the fourteenth century (until 1371).

Jacobus Textoris (Jacobus Textor/Jacques de Touraine, d. July 9, 1481)

OMConv. French Conventual friar. Received his licence in Paris in 1421 and was regent master for an unusual long period thereafter (according to Parisian documents between 1422-1435) [Paris BN Lat. 5657a f. 16r; CHUP IV,406, no. 2195; 420, no. 2219; 445, no. 2258 and no. 2259; 468, no. 2296; 482, no. 2323; 497, no. 2347; 517, no. 2370; 530, no. 2395; 550, no. 2426; 552, no.2431; 555, no. 2436; 572, no. 2466]. He was very active in theology faculty politics and represented the University of Paris at the trial of Joan of Arc at Rouen. He also would have been active at the Council of Ferrara. Some of the works ascribed to this friar have also been linked to the Venetian friar Jacobus de Justinopoli, who as a teacher of Francesco della Rovere (Pope Sixtus IV).

Jacobus Tresanti (Jacobus de Trisanctis/Jacobus Petrisancti/Jacobus Trisanto/Grisanto/Jacopo da Tresanti/Jacopo di Pietro Santi, c. 1265- after 1320 (1340?))

OM. Italian friar, originating from a family of notaries in Tresanti (Montespertoli, near Florence). Entered the order at the convent of S. Francesco di Castelfiorentino (Florence custody). Active as lector in the St. Croce convent of Florence (at least in the years 1298-1301),where he produced for his students a compilatory commentary on the Sentences (lectura compilata super 4 libros Sententiarum). This work is an assemblation of positions of (predominantly Parisian) Franciscan doctors. He follows closely the systems of Bonaventure and Richard of Mediavila, the authors he used most. Only in book 4 does he cite Duns Scotus. Cenci (DHGE XXVI, 755) argues that Jacob was exposed to the teachings of these authorities during his own four-year lectorate studies at the Paris studium generale (probably in the late 1280s or the early 1290s).The work therefore might reflect both Jacob’s own lectorate studies and his subsequent teaching activities at the St. Croce convent. (See Cenci, 1993, 119-128 for further info on content and structure of the Lectura). He produced a series of Quadragesimal sermons (32 according to Bartholomew of Pisa, 42 according to Mariano of Florence, 12 according to others). A collection of these was kept at a Venetian seminary in 1878. Thereafter, this manuscript disappears from sight. Maybe some of his sermons survived in other manuscripts (see below). Cenci also ascribes to him a series of Sermones de Festis et de Sanctis found in MS Florence BN Conv. Soppr. G.1.861A (maybe gathered by Jacob at the end of his life, maybe copied and adapted by friar Paolo Boncagnida Peruga), which attest to his preaching activities between 1305 and 1313 in several towns of central Italy (Arezzo, Volterra, Assisi (?). [Cf. Cenci, 1993, 122: ‘Comme lettore-predicatore fr. Giacomo fu certamente in diversi conventi della provincia, qualche volta lascia intuire la città dove predica. Così a ff. 103r-105v per S. Giusto a Volterra (3 sermoni); a ff. 158v-160v per S. Donato ad Arezzo; dopo di che fu estratto un fascicolo, dove c’erano i sermoni per S. Chiara, l’Assunta e (se c’era) S. Lodovico d’Angio. Per ogni santo compose tre sermoni; tre per la traslazione di S. Francesco, 7 per la sua festa.’]. Jacob probably died shortly after 1320, and was buried in the convent church of the Poor Clares of Castelfiorentino, where he probably had been active as confessor during his last years (he appears as a witness in notarial acts at Castelfiorentino from August 1313 onwards, which indicates that he was a member of the Franciscan friary there).

Jacobus Wyg (fl. c.1500)

OM. German friar from Colmar, Augsburg, or Zengg (Croatia). Nothing is known about his life. What we do know is that he produced a German printed edition of the Breviarium Romanum on request of the Croatian nobleman Christoph Frangepan, count of Zengg and Madrus, and his Augsburg wife Apollonia. On f. 629v of this German edition, we can read that the work was ‘gecorrigiert, quotiert, und in ein sollige ordnung gesetzt’ by ‘brueder Jacob Wyg barfueser ordens von Kolmar.’ (Yet Jacob can not be found in the Tabulae Capitulares, nor in the necrologies of the Strasburg Franciscan province). The German edition, which was printed in 400 copies, contains a full German translation of the complete Roman Breviary, with the exception of the office for Mary and the office for the dead [This in contrast with another, comparable, German translation of the Breviary, which also is of ‘Franciscan’ provenance, namely the Teutsch Roemisch Brevier vast Nutzlich und Trostlich (Augsburg: Alexander Weyssenhorn, 1535), produced for Poor Clares]. The work of Jacob predominantly means to provide people (and esp. women) who can not read Latin access to the standard breviary materials. Jacob apparently reached back to already existing German translations of the Psalter and the Hymns [cf. the remarks by Christine Stöllinger-Löser in VL 2nded., X 1466].

Jacopone de Tuderto (Jacopone da Todi/Iacopo dei Benedetti, ca. 1228, Todi - 1306, Collazone) beatus

OM. Italian friar. Born at Todi (Umbria), where he became active as a lawyer/notary. Allegedly because of the brutal death of his young wife, Jacopone radically changed his life; living for some time as a lay penitent before joining a Franciscan tertiary group. Eventually, in 1278, he entered the first order, where he might have become priest by 1287. If we accept the argument of Daniele Solvi concerning the didactic elements of the Tractatus, he might have been active for a while as novice master or in a comparable instruction situation at the Assisi friary. Jacopone quickly became involved with the Spirituals and their cause for poverty and Church reform; he even signed a declaration which asked for the deposition of Boniface VIII and the convocation of a general council. As a result, he was excommunicated and confined to Palestrina. He was released by Benedict XI in 1303 to retire near the Poor Clares of S. Lorenzo at Collazzone (near Todi), where he probably died in December 1306. Jacopone is famous for his 92 to 102 vernacular Laude spirituali (dealing with all kinds of moral, spiritual and mystical issues, and matters pertaining to Franciscan poverty and discipline) as well as for his letters (such as the Latin letter to Giovanni della Verna, which includes one of his vernacular laude (lauda 63)), and several Latin prose works (such as the Tractatus, and Dicta (or Verba), the attribution of which still keeps some scholars in doubt, although they betray a strong affinity with the vernacular works and to some extent represent older versions of the vernacular texts. See on these issues especially the studies and editions of Menestò (1979)). Jacopone might also be the author of the Stabat Mater, even though some present-day scholars would like to attribute this sequens to an unknown contemporary Franciscan friar or to Bonaventure.

works

Stabat Mater (ascription): many, many manucripts, a.o. Berlin, Hamilton, 348 f. 153v. This is also widely available in print. See for instance Analecta hymnica medii aevi, ed. Guido Maria Dreves, 55 Vols. (Leipzig, 1886-1922) LIV, 312-318 & (a slightly different version) in Guido Maria Dreves, Ein Jahrtausend lateinischer Hymnendichtung, 2 Vols. (Leipzig, 1909) II, 390-392. The Stabat Mater had an immense popularity during the closing centuries of the Middle Ages and thereafter. It also received versions in most European vernaculars. For an overview of the manuscript versions surviving in French (replete with an edition), see Richard O’Gorman, ‘The Stabat Mater in Middle French Verse: An Edition of Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, fr. 24865’, Franciscan Studies 52 (1992), 191-201.

Tractatus utilissimus et sufficientissimus qualiter homo potest cito pervenire ad cognitionem veritatis, ed. E. Menesto, Le prose latine attribuite a Jacopone da Todi, Studi Medievali, 18 (Bologna, 1979), 75-86; Tractatus utilissimus; Verba ed. Giuseppe Cremascoli, mauro Donnini & Enrico Menestò (Spoleto: CISAM, 2015); Tractatus utilissimus. Verba, ed. Enrico Menestò, Giuseppe Cremascoli & Mauro Donnini, Edizione Nazionale dei Testi Mediolatini d'Italia, 37. Serie I, 21 (Florence: SISMEL-Edizioni del Galluzzo, 2015). The work received three printed editions in the sixteenth century (Venice, 1537; Venice, 1543 & Louvain, 1554) and a series of modern editions (prior to the editions of Menestò’s c.s. from 1979 and 2015), albeit it was frequently attributed to other friars, such as Rizzerio da Muccia. The work later received an Italian adaptation (possibly by Feo Balcari). This vernacular version also received several editions, a.o. by E. Boehmer, in ‘Iacopone da Todi. Prosastücke von ihm, nebst Angaben über Manuscripte, Drucke und Uebersetzungen seiner Schriften’, Romanische Studien 1(1871), 123-162. Menestò makes a strong case for Jacopone’s authorship of the Latin Tractatus, pointing at the strong parallels with the Laude. The major theme of the Tractatus, which is heavily inspired by the Mystica Theologia of (Pseudo) Dionysius, puts full emphasis on love for God, and stresses the need for abandoning all attention and love for intermediate objects (ed. Menestò, 75ff): ‘Quicumque vult ad veritatis cognitionem brevi et recto tramite pervenire et pacem perfecte in anima possidere, oportet quod totaliter se expropriet ab amore omnis creature et etiam sui ipsius, ut totaliter se in Deum proiciat, non reservans sibi aliquid, nec etiam tempus, ut nihil per proprium sensum sibi provideat, quin semper sit dispositus et subiectus et paratus ducatui divino et vocationi ipsius.’ (…) ‘Sed postquam anima se totaliter expropriat ab omni amore creato et habet veram paupertatem spiritus cordaliter, quia non delectatur in aliqua creatura, tunc trahitur et impletur ab amore divino, in quem se totaliter proiecit. Et si postea redeant ad animam ista media que reliquerat, non possunt eam intrare, quia plena est domus et hospitium iam captum est ab ipso divino amore et ligati sunt omnes affectus.’ (…) ‘Igitur utillimum valde ac saluberrimum est ut omnia media eiciamus de anima et expropriemus nos et moriamur omnibus rebus creatis et totaliter desperemus de nobis, et de omnibus creaturis et proiciamus nos confidenter in Deum, qui benigne nos suscipiet, amorose gubernabit et perducet ad finem beatum.’
A partial Italian translation by Francesco Costa of the Laude, the Tractatus and the Verba can also be found in: Mistici Francescani. Secolo XIV, II (Assisi-Bologno, 1997), 33-170.

For editions, see: Verba Fratris Iacobi de Tuderto, ed. E. Menestò (Bologna, 1979), 173-183. The Latin text has received various other modern editions. See for instance Iacopone da Todi, Laudi, Trattato e Detti, ed. F. Ageno, 413-427 (replete with Italian translation); Tractatus utilissimus; Verba ed. Giuseppe Cremascoli, Mauro Donnini & Enrico Menestò (Spoleto: CISAM, 2015); Tractatus utilissimus. Verba, ed. Enrico Menestò, Giuseppe Cremascoli & Mauro Donnini, Edizione Nazionale dei Testi Mediolatini d'Italia, 37. Serie I, 21 (Florence: SISMEL-Edizioni del Galluzzo, 2015). Cf. review by Daniele Solvi, Studi Francescani 113:1-2 (2016), 637 & review by Aleksander Horowski in Collectanea Franciscana 89:1-2 (2019), 364-367. The latin text was in circulation shortly after the death of Jacopone. In 1385, Bartolomeo da Pisa incorporated them in his Liber de Conformitate (AF IV (1906), 236-299). Several versions of the Latin text, as well as some vernacular adaptations appeared thereafter (a.o. in the Franceschina, and in the works of Mariano da Firenze, Marco of Lisbon and Wadding). See for these texts in hagiographical accounts on Jacopone Le vite antiche di Iacopone da Todi, ed. Enrico Menestò (Florence, 1977). The original medieval vernacular version also has received several early modern and modern editions, a.o. by E. Boehmer (Iacopone da Todi, 1871) and Arrigo Levasti (Mistici del Duecento e del Trecento, 1935). In his Verba, Jacopone deals with the soul’s union with God. [The Verba or Dicta of Jacopone can be compared with many other Dicta and Detti of friar Leo, Egidio, Conrad of Offica, and others. See on this especially Clasen, Legenda Antiqua, xii-xxxii, as well as Stanislao da Campagnola, Francesco d’Assisi nei suoi scritti e nelle sue biografie dei secoli xiii-xiv (Assisi, 1977), passim. A good impression of Jacopone’s ‘negative’ approach to spiritual perfection is found in the Verba or Dicta II, III, IV, and V (ed. Menestò, 175ff): ‘(III) Sicut amor sui est causa et radix omnium vitiorum et malorum et enervatio omnium virtutum, sic et odium sui est origo et fundamentum omnium virtutum et deletio vitiorum. Unde deberet homo non tantum se odire, sed deberet velle ab omnibus odiri. (…) Et quia ex hac cognitione sui ducitur in cognitionem veritatis, incipit amare veritatem, non tantum in se, sed in omnibus. (…) Ex hoc etiam acquiritur despectus sui et omnis virtus et omne bonum: nam per hoc senties in anima radicari prudentiam, fortitudinem, temperantiam et iustitiam et ceteras virtutes et maxime triplicem patientiam. Unde per hoc venitur ad quietem anime.’; ‘(IV) Tres sunt anime status. In primo habet anima cognitionem suorum peccatorum et lacrimas compunctionis que ducunt eam prope desperationem. In secundo transit ad considerandam redemptionem Salvatoris, in quo habet lacrimas compassionis ad Christum. In tertio transit ad amorem, et iste status habet tres partes: in prima, scilicet in sui principio, incohat amare et habet lacrimas devotionis; in secunda parte id est in perseverantia huius status, augetur amor et habet lacrimas simplices, quia sunt sine violentia et nescit quare sibi obveniunt; in tertia parte, que dicitur status consummatus, stat anima in atriis Domini et gustat de vita eterna et perdit lacrimas.’; ‘(V) Anima habet quattuor pugnas, scilicat extra se, iuxta se, intra se et supra se. Primam, que est extra se, habet cum mundo. Hec vincitur non amando res mundi (…) Secundam pugnam, que est iuxta se, habet cum sensibus corporis (…) Tertiam pugnam, que est intra se, habet anima cum affectionibus sive passionibus suis, que sunt gaudium, spes, timor et dolor (…) Quartam pugnam, que est supra se, et est maior omnium predictarum, habet anima cum Deo hoc modo: quia assumit magnam et arduam sollicitudinem tenere se cum Deo. Et considerans se factam ad eius imaginem et similitudinem et quod Deus vult hospitari in ea, toto suo conamine cavet ne aliquid in se recipiat quod offendat oculos maiestatis divine, et etiam ne exeat ad aliquid quod displiceat Deo.’]
A partial Italian translation by Francesco Costa of the Laude, the Tractatus and the Verba can also be found in: Mistici Francescani. Secolo XIV, II (Assisi-Bologno, 1997), 33-170.

Juan de San Antonio and Sbaralea mention several other Doctrina, cantica, Sententiae, Epistolae etc., but these should probably be identified with parts from the Verba, the Tractatus, and the Laude.

Janus Latinius Calaber (Ianus Lacinius/Latonius Therapus/Giano Lacinio, fl. 16th cent.)

OFM. Italian (Calabrian) Franciscan friar (and not a tertiary, as he presents himself in his work as a 'Minorita'), Possibly born in Cirò in the early 17th century.

He subsequently developed his alchemical interests and was known for several alchemical treatises. Sbaralea suggests that Janus Lacinius was a nom de plume, and that his real name might have been Giovanni da Crotone (Joannes Crotonensis).

OFMCap. Italian (Sicilian) friar from Palermo. Active as preacher and theology professor in the Palermo province, as well as theological consultant of Cardinal Girolamo Colonna and consultant for the inquisition. Wrote a Cursus Integer Theologiae Moralis.

works

(Palermo-Venice: Alfonso de Isola, Junta & Francisco Baba, 1646-1649)/ Theologiae sacrae moralis, Pars Prima/Pars Secunda/Pars Tertia (Palermo: Alfonso de Isola, 1646/Antwerp 1647). The work seems to have been re-issued repeatedly within a short time-span, sometimes with a slightly different title. Several of these volumes are now accessible via Archive.org, the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale Vitt. Emanuele in Rome, Google Books, the Biblioteca Comunale of Cremona, etc.

In Scoti formalitates subtilis disquisitio, auctore rev. p. fr. Gesualdo de Bononiis capuccino (...) Cum dupplici indice altero capitulorum, et titulorum, altero materiarum copiosissimo (Palermo: Niccolo Bua, 1652).

Juan de San Antonio mentions also works on the canonical hours, clerical elections, the enclosure of female religious and simony. But those works have not been identified. He also identifies another Gedualdo da Palermo, but that friar might have been one and the same. To the latter Juan de San Antonio ascribed a vernacular life of friar Bernardo da Corleone, OFMCap, and a series of eulogies and epigrams on the same venerated friar.

Joanna de Cruce (Juana de la Cruz Vazquez/La Santa Juana, 1481-1534), Beata

TOR. Spanish Franciscan tertiary. Author and ‘doctor’. Born in Azaña (Numancia de la Sagra), near Madrid, as daughter of Don Juan Vázquez and Doña Catalina Gutiérrez. At the age of fifteen, she fled her parental home to the community of Santa Maria de la Cruz de la Villa de Cubas, and from the age of ca. 27 onward, she was a renowned preacher in her community. A first collection of her sermons was gathered in 1509 (eventually known as El Conhorte/or Libro del Conhorte). In 1510, Cardinal Cisneros, backed up by Pope Julius II, appointed Joan as ‘párroco’ of the Cubas parish. From then on her renown grew quickly, and many hig officials of the Spanish kingdom sought her out to hear her preach (Cisneros, Charles V etc.). After the death of Cisneros (1517) and the reaction against the Alumbrados and other ‘spiritual’ currents in the Spanish peninsula and within the Franciscan order. Juana had to give up her abbatiate. Yet she was supported by her community, who re-elected her after the quick death of her successor. Juana died on 3 May 1534. After her death, the order defended her reputation as saint and preacher. In 1613, the Cardinal of Toledo started her batification process, which was concluded positively in 1617. After confirmation from Rome, she was officially beatified on May 4th, 1630. The process for her elevation into sainthood began in 1986.

Joanna de Jussie (Jeanne de Jussie, 1503-1561)

OSC. Swiss Poor Clare from Lullier castle in Jussy-l'Évêque near Geneva. Due to a decline of family fortunes, the family had to leave the castle, and Jeanne soon had to earn her living by teaching female children, developing her own literary skills in the process. She joined the Geneva Poor Clares on Saint Michael’s day 1521, when she was 18 years old. Between 1526 and 1535 she composed a diary, mixing entries on local politics and religious matters in town (during the civil war and the transformation of the town into a Calvinist bulwark) with spiritual reflections. Jeanne and her fellow nuns had to flee Geneva in 1535, travelling to unoccupied Augustinian Monastery of the Holy Cross in Annecy, where the religious community remained until its dissolution in 1793. Jussie became abbess there in 1548.

works

Relation/Petite Chronique: MS Geneva, University Library. The work received several editions, as it was and is seen as an important document for the early history of the Calvinist movement in Geneva. It was edited for the first time in an ideologically charged version as: Le Levain du calvinisme ou commencement de l’hérésie de Genève (Chambery: Frères Du Four, 1611). This version was re-issued as: Le Levain du Calvinisme, ou commencement de l’heresie de Geneve, ed. Gustave Revilliod (Geneva: Jules-Guillaume Fick, 1853). Sections of text were also included in: Les Clarisses de Genève-Annecy et les protestants d'après la relation de l'abbesse Jeanne de Jussie, La France Franciscaine, Melanges 2 (Lille, 1913), 15-118. Cf. Correspondance des réformateurs dans les pays de langue Française, ed. A.-L. Herminjard, 3 Vols. (Nieuwkoop: B. de Graaf, 1965) III, 222. The first scholarly edition of the text on the basis of the autograph manuscript was published as: Jeane de Jussie, Petite Chronique, ed. H. Feld (Mainz: Philipp von Zabern Verlag, 1996). Cf. the comments on this edition by B. Nicollier, ‘Jeane de Jussie, Petite Chronique’, Bibliothèque d’humanisme et renaissance 58:3 (1996), 761-765.

Joanna Rodriguez (Juana Rodriguez/Juana de Jesús María Rodriguez, 1564-1650)

OSC. Spanish Carmelite Tertiary and Clarissan nun, who came to the religious life in a roundabout way. She was initially a married woman. Her husband, the merchant Matías Hortíz, apparently treated her badly. In reaction, she became more and more religious, and she was able to keep him out of her bed. She also began to engage in charitable works and came under the influence of Carmelite friars in 1611. Around 1617, she had adopted the Carmelite tertiary habit, and some two years later, she began to experience religious extasies, in which she relived the passion of Christ, and during which she received the stigmata. She came under the protection of the Archbishop of Burgos, Fernando de Acevedo, who had her stigmata examined by a committee of theologians. After the death of her husband in 1622, shortly after his own religious conversion, the Archbishop and his assistant secured for Juana entry into the Santa Clara de Burgos monastery (April 1626). In September 1634, when the Inquisition was looking into stigmata miracles (esp. the case of Luisa de la Ascencsión), the Franciscan provincial ordered Juana to lay low, to stop the distribution of divinely blessed rosaries and to pray for the disappearance of her stigmata. She died on 21 August 1650. She started writing when she was under Carmelite spiritual guidance. She wrote in that period a first autobiography between 1609 and 1616. She repeated this feat for her next confessor, between 1616-and 1622, and for the Archbishop Fernando de Acevedo. After her entry into the Santa Clara de Burgos monastery, she wrote and dictated to her Franciscan confessor the story of her divine graces. In addition, she composed poems, prayers and meditations. At her deathbed, and on the order of her superiors, she handed her writings over for ecclesiastical examination. In 1673, the Franciscan friar Francisco de Ameyugo published a biography (replete with a selection of Juana's writings) that was completely denounced by the inquisition the following year. Other vitae would follow (for example by the Franciscan Juan Bautista de Loyola).

Tomás, a Carmelite friar, was a nephew of Juana Rodriguez. This work is mainly based on an already existing biography of Juana made by the Franciscan friar Juan Bautista de Loyola. The text as we have it in the manuscript, is an attachment to the copies made by Tomás of the second volume of Juana's writings.

Possibly to be identified with the student listed at Louvain University on 29 August 1521 and on 4 April 1523 as being of slender means and taken in by the Standonck Pedagogium. Joannes Adriaens became a friar in the Southern Low Countries and in the 1550s lived in Mechelen (Malines). It is there that he finishes in 1553 Een gouden Cyborie and in 1556 Dat Symbolum des heyligen kersten geloofs.

Joannes Aegidius de Zamora (Juan Gil de Zamora, ca. 1241/1250 - ca. 1318)

OM. Spanish friar: encyclopaedist, historiographer, educator. Born at Zamora (c. 1241/1250), as a member of a naristocrat family. Might have engaged in (artes) studies at the University of Salamanca before he joined the Friars Minor. Might even have received some of the minor orders and lived in Madrid around 1266 before he took the Franciscan habit (cf. the edition of the Vita Sancti Isidori Agricolae). After joining the Friars Minor (c. 1269), he studied for some years theology at Paris. Possibly between 1273-1277 [proposals for a later date have been made in recent literature]. Gill's education in Paris probably implied a full lectorate course and not a course leading to the magisterium, as is sometimes said in the available studies. Cf. Introduction of M. de Castro, De Praeconiis Hispaniae, LXII-LXVIII; the error is made possible by the exaggerated self-representation of Gil), where he worked under Raymond Gaufredi and also witnessed Bonaventure’s lectures on the Collationes in Hexaemeron. Taught in Toulouse and, after his return to Spain, in the Franciscan studium of Zamora. Kept up his contacts with Raymond Gaufredi (to whom Gil dedicated his Contra Venena) and with Roger Bacon. Became involved in educational and diplomatic activities at the court of Alfonso X of Castilia. Was charged with the education of the ‘infante’ Sancho (the later Sancho IV/Sanchez IV), for whom he later wrote De Praeconiis Hispaniae (between 1278 and 1282). Throughout, Gil was very much part of the scientific culture of the Castilian court, with its historiographical, medical, linguistical and geographical interests.[same was true for his fellow franciscan Pedro Gallego]. Later in life, Gil was active as custos of the Zamora custody, and as provincial minister (c. 1300). He died after 1318. Gil was a prolific author in his own right. He wrote for instance: Liber illustrium personarum qui et historiae canonicae et civilis (videlicet patriarchum. prophetarum. apostolorum, et evangelistarum, martyrum et confessorum, virginum et viduarum et aliarum sanctarum personarum; Proslogion seu Tractatus de Accentu et de Dubitabilibus Bibliae (on the difficulties when reading the Bible, de Archivus seu Armarium Scripturarum; Historia naturalis, ecclesiastica et civilis (a full-blown encyclopaedia); the Liber de Jesu et Maria (MS, see Stegmüller); Officium Almifluae Virginis; De preconiis Hispanie (a historical and geographical manual-annex princes mirror for the education of Sancho); Contra Venena et Animalia Venenosa; poems, hagiograhical and biographical writings.

works

Several autograph manuscripts of Gil that were kept in the Zamora convent did not survive the reduction of the monasteries in 1835. Several copies made during the early eighteenth century by the Franciscan guardian Miguel Ordoñez (copies that themselves seem have disappeared as well) were used by Francisco Mendez and Enrique Florez for the compilation of their España Sagrada (MS Madrid Bib. Nac. 2763), which provides a listing of Gil’s oeuvre. On the basis of that list, and on the basis of other manuscript collections and bibliographical guides, a provisional list can be made, in the full understanding that this entry on Juan Gil still needs a lot of work, especially to integrate the insights of the latest studies. For several bibliographical references and especially for a copy of the Studia Zamorensia Segunda Etapa, 13 (Zamora: UNED, 2014), we would like to thank Prof. Cándida Ferrero Hernández.

Joannes ab Angelis (Juan de Los Angeles/Juan Martínez, ca. 1536 - 1609, Madrid)

OFMDisc. Spanish friar. Theologian and important mystical/spiritual author, who incorporated much of the pre-existing Franciscan mystical tradition in his own works. Born in Corchuela (Toledo), he obtained his first education in Latin, Greek and Hebrew in the schools of Oropesa. Joined the Franciscans in the San Gabriel province but soon transferred to the Descalzos in the San José province, where he made his solemn profession before 1562. Possibly theology studies afterwards in Salamanca before he became a lector (1565-1571) in the San Juan Bautista friary of Zamora. Between 1572 and 1576 he was in Madrid as socius of Nicolás Factor, confessor of the Descalzas Reales convent, and later as socius/assistent of Antonio de Segura, guardian of the Madrilene San Bernardino friary. In this period he also embarked on large preaching journeys throughout Spain, to Portugal, but also elsewhere (Rome, Paris). In 1580, he was back in Zamora, where he became active as convent preacher. This was followed up by an assignment as provincial definitor for the San José province, residing again in the San Bernardino friary of Madrid. He became involved with the foundaton of the San Diego friary of Seville and stayed there between 1589 and 1592, after which he moved for some time to Portugal. Back in Madrid in 1593, he acted as visitator for the San Juan Bautista province of Valencia, and in 1594 he became guardian of the San Antonio friary of Guadalajara. In 1598 he became guardian of the San Bernardino friary of Madrid and also visitator of the San Gabriel province. He took part in the general chapter of Rome (May 1600), to become provincial minister of the San José province in 1601. Sometime thereafter, he also became confessor of the Descalzas Reales of Madrid and Royal court preacher, which enticed him to give up his provincialate position. He died in the Descalzas Reales convent in 1609. Author of a wide range of spiritual works in the Spanish vernacular.

Johannes Alphart ( Basel - 1492, Munich)

OMObs. Swiss/German friar. Son of a Baker in Basel. Franciscan Observant and renowned preacher. Three times provincial vicar of the Observants in upper Germany (Provincia Argentinensis de Observantia, 1474-77, 1481-84, 1487-1490), promotor of (and preacher to) Poor Clares and female tertiary communities. Stood at the basis of the Observant reforms in Munich (1480), Ulm, and elsewhere. Died in Munich, on 15 June, 1492. His (vernacular) sermons have survived in several manuscripts.

works

Predigten. One sermon has been edited by Lucidius Verschueren in Franziskanische Studien, 15 (1928), 121-125, and another one by Landmann in Franziskanische Studien, 15 (1928), 320-322. The first of these sermons, found in MS Munich Staatsbibliothek. Codex Germ. 5140 ff. 317b-322b, can probably be traced to a female monastery, and the editor Verschueren thinks the sermon itself was originally held for regular Franciscan tertiaries. The sermon probably was held between 1487 and 1490. The following extracts (pp. 122-125 in Verschueren’s edition) give a good impresson of its contents: ‘Uff das Ewangelio von den zehen sünder siechen, als Lucas schribt am xvii [Lucas17, 11-19], wie die alle gesund wurden, und es kam nün ainer zü dem hern, was danckbar, und der her sprach: stand uff und gang hin. Da sind zway stuck, die ainen yeden menschen nottürfftig sind zü dem ewigen leben. Das erst, das ergang uff den berg der tugent ains gütten leben. (…) So das nit gnüg ist, volgt hernah: gang hin; verstand, zü übung gütter werck. (…) Und bey dem ersten ist zü mercken, das drii ding hindert den menschen am uff ston von den sünden.

Sü dem ersten spricht gott zü dem menschen: Gang usz mir durch die Schöpfung. Spricht augustin: Es sind alle creaturen gewesen in gott bildlich als ain huus (…) Züm andern spricht gott: gang von mir durch haltung der gebott und volbringung mins willens und wolgevallens in gütten wergken.

Joannes Angelus Terzonis de Legonissa (Giovanni-Angelo Terzoni/Giovanni-Angelo de Leonessa, fl. later fifteenth cent.)

OM. Italian friar resident in the Leonessa convent (in the neighbourhood of Rieti). Known as the author of the Opus Davidicum, which tries to make a case for a biblical lineage of the French royal dynasty. As an answer to manifold attempts of seeking a Troyan ancestry for European royal families, the author tries to trace the French royal family back to the times of David, King of Israel. The work exploits Jewish messianistic expectations, and is linked to the Italian expedition of King Charles VIII (1496-1498), which the author saw as the beginning of a restoration of royal power in the Kingdom of Naples and the Holy Land.

Joannes Pellens (Joannes Leodius/Jan van Luik/Jan Pellens, ca. 1538-1604)

OFM. Belgian friar from Liege (Luik/Lüttich). Was a member of the Franciscan community in Antwerp, where he was ordained acolite and subdeacon on 19-20 December 1561. Later, if we can believe Henricus Sedulius, who probably knew him personally, Pellens was guardian in the Franciscan friary of Deventer between 1569 and 1578 (when that friary was forced to close down). Subsequently lector in Louvain (1578-1589?) and in 1589 (from 1589 onwards). Between 1591 until his death on September 23, 1604, he was confessor of the Antwerp Poor Clares. Although Sedulius described Pellens as a nearly timid and studious friar, steeped in Hebrew, Greek and Latin, he was well-respected by the Antwerp Poor Clares as their confessor, whose abbess in 1599 even wrote to the Franciscan provincial chapter to avoid his replacement by another friar [‘...na dat hij nu 8 jaren het ambt des bichtvaders seer loffelijck hadde bedient, soo scheen daer apparentie dat de oversten in het aenstaende cappittel, eenen anderen bichtvader voor de nonnekens van sin waeren te ordonneren, 't welck als de Abdisse Cornelia vernomen hadde soo schreef sij eenen brief aende paters vant capittel, - mits den welcken sy beneerstight heeft, dat den man godts in sijnen dienst ghecontinueert heeft tot in het jear 1604 als wanneer hij uyt dese werelt verscheede...‘, Fundatieboek, MS St. Truiden, Prov. Archive OFM M 11, p. 507 & cited in De Troeyer (1969), 347.]. Pellens wrote two Latin laudatory Epigramma for the works of Matthias Felisius (Matthias Cats), as well as a lengthy, three-volume De virtutibus theologicis Fide, Spe et Charitate, which was never printed and apparently survived in manuscript format in the possession of Henricus Sedulius and later, by 1650, in the Franciscan provincial archive of Brussels, where it was probably destroyed in the bombardments of 1695.

Joannes Aquensis (Jan Vodnansky/Jan Bosák Vodranský/Jan Bosák z Vodnan, ca. 1460-ca. 1534)

OMObs. Czech Observant friar. Former Ultraquist turned Observant Franciscan.

works

Annihilatio Triplicis Funiculi Innominati Haeretici: MS Prague, National Museum XVG 4 (3609) (late 15th cent.)

Vade mecum in tribulatione, a no longer existant 'prophecy' about the end of Bohemian Ultraquism. We know about its existence through a parody made by an anonymous Utraquist, who sought to discredit the mendicants, ridiculing them for going around barefoot or in sloppy sandals.

Vocabularius dictus Lactifer (Pilzen, 1511). See the 2003 and 2012 studies of Hana Šedinová, which indicate that this is a peculiar combination of a vocabulary (first part) and a sort of natural encyclopedia divided in nine books on human monsters, illnesses, trees, herbs, stones, birds, four-legged animals, fish, snakes and worms. The fourth book (De monstruosis hominibus) deals with 'abnormal' humans, both 'real' and mythological, predominantly taken from classical and medieval sources (Herodotus, Odoricus da Pordenone, Marco Polo, contemporary merchant reports). This section, issued as Lidská monstra (Vokabular zvany Lactifer IV)/De monstruosis hominibus (Vocabularius dictus Lactifer IV), ed. Hana Sedinova, Fontes Latini Bohemorum, 8 (Prague, OIKOYMENH, 2013), includes alleged peculiar eating habits of Asian and African peoples and of mythological 'humanoids' who live on the odor of flowers and fruits alone, live on seeds via a second mouth cavity above the normal mouth, and several types of canibals.

OFM. Spanish Franciscan friar. Active in Latin America. Born in Galicia in 1720 and known to have taught theology in the Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco.

In 1782 he celebrated his lectorate jubilee and the following year he was found as guardian of the Convento Grande de San Francisco de México, where he died almost immediately. He is known for his Diario y derrotero (1777-1781), which he wrote in part during a sojourn in Arizpe (Sonora county), and in which he noted his experiences during his travels with Teodoro de la Croix, exhibiting severe criticism concerning the Spanish latifundia system, which according to him was in part responsible for the socio-economic stagnation of Spanish Mexico.

Joannes Baptista d’Ajaccio (1754-1820)

OFMCap. French friar from Corsica. Preacher and important local historian. Born in Ajaccio (Corsica) in a family with ties with the French civil service and the French army. Went to school at the Jesuite college in Ajaccio, and entered the Capuchin order at Luri (1770; profession at Sta. Reparata on 3 May 1771). Embarked on a career as preacher on Corsica, and became active as guardian of the Ajccio convent and as provincial diffinitor. Refusing to abide by the 1791 Constitution Civile du Clergé, he emigrated to Italy, where he entered in the service of the bishop of Arezzo. In 1793, he became active as an agent for the apostolic see in France. In 1807, he obtained the status of secular cleric and returned as preacher to Corsica, where he ended up as secretary of Letizia Ramolino-Bonaparte. Died at Livorno.

The vita, entitled Nacimienti, crianza y vida admirable de la V. Sor Juana, was apparently never printed, but ended up in the archives of the Monastery of Santa Elena de Najera. Yet a few decades later, this text formed the basis for the Carmelite friar Juan de Santo Tomás' Dibuxo o brebe compedio de la admirable vida de la venerable Me Iuana Rodriguez, en la Religión de Santa Clara, Iuana de Iesus Ma., peregrina en su patria de BURGOS (Burgos, Archivo Silveriano, MS 31, and this text was later also included in the second volume of the printed works of Juana).

Joannes Baptista Fasolus (Giovanni Battista Fasolo, ca. 1598-1664)

OFMConv. Italian Franciscan friar from Asti. Known as an organist, conductor and composer. In 1645, he issued an organ manual for those working in small parish churches, the Annuale che contiene tutto quello, che deve far un Organista per risponder al Choro tutto l'Anno, Opera Ottava. Four years later, he became maestro di cappella in service of the Archbishop of Monreale, near Palermo. He was also active as an organist for the Duomo of Palermo, where Bonaventura Aleotti was one of his disciples. For a long time, many secular pieces of Fasolo were attributed to other composers, including the Venetian composer Francesco Manelli, but nowadays a number of works have been assigned back to Fasolo, thanks in particular to the studies of Francesco Luisi, Mariangela Donà, and Claudio Bacciagaluppi (see the literature below).

He learned to play that instrument, and also received instruction in singing and clavecimbel under Angelo Predieri and Antonio Riccieri.

After he was ordained priest (February 1729), he continued his musical education under Giacomo Perti. In the following decades, Martini established himself as a musicological authority, who corresponded with many intellectuals and leading figures of his time. He was also member of the local Instituta delle Scienze ed Accademia Filarmonica, and had many pupils, among whom a number of talented composers, including Johann Christian Bach, Gluck and the young Mozart. Martini spent many years as chapel master of St. Francesco in Bologna, and gathered a huge musical library with ca. 17000 books. He died in Bologna after a long illness in 1784.

Joannes Baptista Reggianus (Giambattista/Giovanni Battista Reggiani da S. Felice, fl. 17th cent.)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Born in Massa. He fulfilled his noviciate in Modena, did his first philosophical and theological studies in Perugia to start his advanced theological education at the Collegium S. Bonaventurae in Rome in 1655. Subsequently lector in Ferrara, Cesena, and Vienna. Provincial minister of Hungary in 1664 (as the successor of Pietro Feice da Tolentino, who had died in office). Reggiani apparently fulfilled his obligations so well, that he was several times re-elected in this position, spending nearly 30 years in Hungary, with sort Italian intermissions, in the face of the ongoing military operations of and against the Ottomans (which also implied the destruction and necessary rebuilding of several friaries), and in the face of the presence of Lutheran, Calvinist and Anabapist factions (at least according to Franciscana order chronicles), in the context of which Giovanni Battista Reggiani organized a number of missionary activities.

Joannes Baptista Vinones (Joannes Baptista de Vinones/Juan Battista Viñones, c. 1480-1550)

OMObs & OFM. Spanish friar. Born in Sevilla in a well-to-do family. Studied civil and canon law, becoming doctor utriusque iuris, and embarking on a lawyer career. After 1507, he took the habit as lay friar of the Guadalcanal convent (near Sevilla) in the Los Angeles custody (which was turned into a province in 1517). In 1510, his example was followed by his friend, the medical doctor Bernardino de Laredo. Not much is known of Viñones's religious life. He seems to have belonged to a group of alumbrados.He died at the Guadalcanal convent in 1550. Interesting, however, is that Joannes Baptista is mentioned as the author or editor of the Espejo de conciencia para todos los estados. However, there are other candidates for the authorship of the text, such as friar Juan de Argumanes (from the Santiago de Compostella province) and the biblical scholar Gutierro de Trejo. The Espejo de conciencia is, in any case, the most influential book of moral practice in Spain during the sixteenth century.

works

Espejo de conciencia que trata de todos los estados assí eclesiásticos como seglares para regir y examinar las conciencias (Salamanca, 1498 (2x)). The early date of this first edition would suggest that at least this first version was not written by Juan Battista Viñones. However, later editions, which bear the name of Viñones appeared under the title Espejo de la conciencia para todos los estados (Logroño, 1507/Sevilla, 1512/Toledo, 1513/Sevilla, 1514/Sevilla, 1516/Logroño, 1516/Badajoz, 1520/Segovia, 1525/Toledo, 1525/Sevilla, 1531/Sevilla, 1536/ Sevilla, 1543/Sevilla, 1548/Medina del Campo, 1552/s.l., 1568). In any case 1525 edition is digitally accessible via the Mediathèque of Lyon (check Numelyo) and via Google Books. The Espejo, which bears some resemblance with the Speculum Aureum of Henry of Herp, consists of three main parts. The first part (116 chapters) deals with the obligations of rulers, bishops, priests, doctors etc, focusing on moral and religious issues, like: love of God and subjects, maintaining the Sunday as day of rest, moral and religious obligations with regard to social and commercial life etc.. The second part (37 chapters) deals with just and unjust forms of warfare, as well as with theft and restitution. The third part (24 chapters) deals with matters like confession, the qualities of the confessor, exemptions, and sins on various occasions. In an appendix, the work deals with matters like excommunication. Viñones’ major sources are Bonaventure and the Pseudo-Bonaventurean tradition, Alexander of Hales, Henry of Suso, Antonio de Firenze (and comparable authors). The vocabulary in the Espejo reflects some impact of the emerging alumbrados tradition. As such, the work might have influenced spiritual authors like Diego Murillo, Juan de Los Angeles, and Alonso de Madrid.

Joannes Baptista Viseo (Joannes Baptista Mexicanus/Juan Bautista Viseo, c. 1555-1609/13)

OFM. Mexican friar and member of the San Evangelio province, author. Born in Mexico in 1555. Took his profession in the San Francisco friary in Mexico on July 26, 1571, at the age of 16. Devoted himself to philosophy, theology and language studies. Various charges as lector, guardian and definitor. Guardian in Tezcoco in 1595/6 when that town suffered from an epidemic.

Joannes Bartholomaeus (Jean Barthelemy, fl. ca. 1460)

OM. French Franciscan friar; entered the order at Soissons ca. 1446. In 1450 he was active in the convent of Rouen, where he preached during Lent in the presence of Raoul Rousselli, archbishop of Rouen. The archbishop denounced Jean Barthelemy at the University of Paris in August1451, as the latter would have upheld in Rouen mendicant preaching and confession privileges (in accordance with the bull Omnis Utriusque Sexus), to the detriment of the authority of secular prelates. At that moment in time John was bachelor at the Paris studium. After John’s explications, the Gallican, Picardian and German nations rejected the allegations, so that John could after some delay proceed to his licentiate in theology (notwithstanding further attempts by the archbishop of Rouen to enlist the support of the papal legate Guillaume d’Estouteville for a further denunciation of the friar). John received his licence on May 22, 1452 and became master of theology on 16 October of the same year [Cf. CHUP IV, 708 no. 2680 & 709 no. 2682; Paris, BN Lat. 5657a f. 21v]. From 1452 onwards, Jean embarked on an impressive homiletic career, preaching a.o. in Nantes (1452, 1459), Nevers (1462), and Tours (1466) [Cf. the study of Martin]. Also active as spiritual counsellor of the Poor Clares of Longchamps. After his death at Paris, the provinces of Burgundy as well as the Grand Couvent de Paris laid claim to Jean’s books. The parlement of Paris passed the verdict that the books should be divided between the two [cf. the study of Beaumont-Maillet]. Most of Jean’s surviving spiritual works were written after his higher theological studies, and predominantly when he became involved with the spiritual guidance of the Poor Clares of Longchamps. His surviving spiritual works testify to his activities as confessor and spiritual counsellor of the Poor Clares, providing them with a host of devotional themes (on the Passion, the Sacred Heart, the Sacrements), spiritual exercises, prayer explications and the like (firmly grounded in the affective theological tradition of Bernard of Clairvaux and Bonaventure).

Joannes Barwick (Joannes Barwic/Joannes Bervich/John Barwick, ca. 1260- ca. 1330?)

OM. English Franciscan friar and theologian. Possibly from the North of Enghland. As a student he entered the Franciscans at Oxford, and after his theological studies, he became the 22nd theology lector there on January 6, 1291. He is listed as a convent preacher in the same year. After becoming magister theologiae (also around 1291), he probably lectured on the Sentences in Paris. Later in life, he was a member of the Stamford friary, where he was licensed to hear confessions on 27 August 1300. He probably died in that convent in the 1320s or shortly thereafter. As an advanced bachelor and lecturer in Oxford, Barwick might have encountered the young Scotus (who arrived in the Franciscan convent there in 1290). Aside from a sermon and a fragment of his commentary on the Third Book of the Sentences of Lombard, no works of Barwick seem to have survived. He is referred to in the work of some fourteenth-century theologians. According to Bale and Juan de San Antonio, Barwick was also the author of a treatise De formis, and a collection of astrological predictions.

Joannes Benedictus (Jean Benedicti/Jean Benoît Breton, fl. second half 16th cent.)

OFM. French Observant friar, who took his profession in the Franciscan friary of Ancenis, and studied at the study house of the Notre-Dame-des-Anges friary (Touraine province). Possibly secretary to the Franciscan minister general Christophe de Cheffontaines in the early 1570s, provincial minister, general commissarius for his order, theology lector and preacher (and exorcist) at Lyon and elsewhere from 1574 onwards until ca. 1584. In the midst of this, he apparently went on a Jeruzalem pilgrimage in 1581. Active in the Baumette friary (Anjou) in 1586. He died in or after 1595. He is foremost known for a confession manual: La somme des pechez et le remede d'icevx, the first edition of which dates from 1584. Jean was responsible for several updated versions, and after his death the work apparently was used at the Parisian theology faculty for teaching moral theology. Yet he also wrote a work on the way how the Virgin Mary expelled a number of demons from demoniacs in the Franciscan Church of Lyon. At the end of that work, Benedicti also included an exorcism formula that he had obtained from Italy and that had first been printed at Bologna in 1578. Are we dealing here with a text based on the exorcism manuals of Menghi?

Joannes Bilhemius (Joannes Byl/Jan Bijl van Leuven/Johan Bijlkens, d. 1540)

OMObs. Belgian friar. Born in Louvain. Joined the Observant friars and served as guardian in various convents (such as Mechelen and Amsterdam). In 1529, he was elected as the first provincial minister of the Lower Germany province. During his guardianship in Amsterdam, Bijl communicated some doubts about the propriety of the Moria to Erasmus, but in such a gentle manner that Erasmus did answer him in a friendly fashion (Allen, Ep. 749, 1518). According to a letter from Maarten van Dorp to Erasmus (Allen, Ep. 1044, November 1519), the same Bijl was known for his learning and his admiration for Erasmus. Bijl wrote several works, which remained unpublished, and apparently are lost. He died on 2 November 1540.

 Johannes Bloemendal de Colonia (Joannes Blomendal/Joannes Blontiades/de Colonia, fl. ca. 1330)

OM. German friar. Active in the Cologne region in the early fourteenth century as lector and preacher. Must have had a profound theological education. Not known whether he reached the magisterium. Compiled, in the wake of his activities as lector in Cologne (and the Curia studium of Avignon during the pontificate of John XXII?) a range of sermons and biblical commentaries, and possibly also an Opusculum Correctionis Textus et Prologorum Biblie, a Tractatus de Posituris, short treatises on the theological significance of Christ’s Passion, commentaries on Biblical hymns and songs, the Credo, and the Pater Noster. Several of the latter works are also ascribed to a contemporary Joannes Coloniensis. Maybe he and Joannes Bloemendal are one and the same friar. He should not be identified with the fifteenth-century friar John of Cologne, known for his Quaestiones Magistrales on Scotus.

He should probably also not be identified with yet another Franciscan friar sometimes named John of Cologne, namely Joannes de Sancto Laurentio/Johannes Coloniensis (fl. ca. 1350?), the author of the Postilla Evangeliorum found for instance in MS Leipzig, Universitätsbibl. 684.

Johannes Bourcelli (Jan van Beersele/Jan van Nijmegen, fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth cent.?)

OMObs. Dutch friar. There is confusion about the identity of this friar, to whom is ascribed a Directorium Brevissimum/Contemplativorum. The work itself is almost identical with the first Collation of Henry of Herp’s Theologia Mystica, and had a substantial impact on its own (cf. a.o. the spiritual works of Benedict of Canfield OFMCap (d.1610) and Fulgentius Bottens OFM (d. 1717)). Candidates for this reworking/abbreviation of Henry’s work are 1.) Jan van Nijmegen (guardian (1515) and procurator (1520) of the Cleve convent, who figures in the necrology of the Cologne province. Cf. Rhenania franciscana. Unsere Toten II (Düsseldorf, 1941), 84); 2.) Jan van Beersele (guardian of the Brussels convent (1482); cf. Brussels, Archives Sainte-Gudule MS Reg. 1395 f. 386); 3.) Jan van Beersele/Jean Bourcelli, auxiliary bishop of Liege (Luik, d. 1504). M. Viller (1922) suggests that Henry of Herp, as vicar of the Cologne Observant province (1470-1473), was the superior, as well as the spiritual guide of our compiler.

works

Directorium brevissimum/Contemplativorum, alias Modus utilissimus perveniendi ad internam contemplationem et vitae perfectionem: MSS Liège (Luik) Seminary Library 6, M. 8 ff. 21r-24v [15th cent. Ascribed in the MS to Jean Bourcelli. Title: Modus utilissimus perveniendi ad internam contemplationem et vitae perfectionem. Cf. AFH 7 (1914), 747]; Osnabrück, Staatliches Gymnasium Carolinum ?

Several sixteenth-century editions and translations of the Directorium do exist. Aside from that, the gist of the work (which is more or less identical with the first Collatio of Herp’s Theologia Mystica) can also be found in the critical editions of Herp’s works. See for instance his Spieghel der Volcomenheit, ed. L. Verschueren (Antwerp, 1931), I, 19-20, 53,57.

Joannes Braclaeus (John Brackley, fl. mid 15th cent.)

OM. English friar. John Brackley was apparently a spiritual counsellor of the English Paston family of Norfolk in the mid-fifteenth century.

Several of these letters were written in a form of macaronic Latin, and probably were close to his preaching style.

Joannes Bremer (Johannes Bremer, fifteenth century)

OM. German friar and theologian. Studied in Oxford. Lector secundarius in the Franciscan convent of Leipzig in 1420. The same year, he immatriculated at Leipzig university. Lector secundarius at Erfurt in 1424. In 1427, he immatriculated at Erfurt university, to read the Sentences, where he became doctor in theology in 1429, and taught there at a later stage as Sacrae Scripturae professor Ordinarius Fratrum Minorum Studii Erfordensis, as successor of Matthias Döring, with whom Bremer would write in 1431/2 a treatise against the Taborites (Procopius). Bremer's position as ordinarius at Erfurt als included obligations to preach, according to the statutes of the theological faculty of Erfurt, see: Meier, in: Antonianum, 11, p.444]. In 1434, he became alligned with Rostock university, but he returned to Erfurt shortly thereafter. In 1439, he became guardian of the Brunswick friary, to return again to Erfurt, to become again regent master of the Franciscan studium there in 1442. In 1444, the same year that the preached at Halberstadt, he taught at Goslar, and in 1445 he taught at Brunswick.
Aside from his (as yet unedited) Sentences commentary, which was produced before 1429 (especially inspired by the works of Bonaventure, Scotus and Francis of Meyronnes, yet more didactically and ecclesiologically oriented, and he defended the immaculate conception. Cf. remarks by Schlageter (2015)), he is known to have left at least four sermons (In Die Coenae (Leipzig, 1420), De Conceptione Mariae (Erfurt, 1424), De Duobus Testamentis & de Ave Maria (Halberstadt, 1444)), a small treatise De Officio Praedicationis, a Collatio Disputata circa Ecclesiam et Sacramenta (Liegnitz, August, 1442), a disputed question on the last ointment, two treatises on the blood of Christ, as well as a Quaestio magistralis de Sanguine Christi (Brunswick, 1455). The last three works are connected with the controversy around the ‘Wilsnacker Wunderblut’ [bleeding hosts]

Joannes Briesmannus (Johann Briesmann, first half 16th cent.)

OFM. German Franciscan friar from Cottbus. He joined the Franciscan order as member of the Saxony province, and studied the university of Frankfurt an der Oder in 1518. Graduate studies in Wittenberg followed from January 1520 onward. There he worked as lector of theology in the Franciscan friary and completed his graduate studies at Wittenberg university, receiving the licence of theology in October 1521 and the doctorate on 1 February 1522. The next day he joined the theology faculty as professor. In Wittenberg, or already before, he became susceptible to Luther's teachings. Yet when the Franciscans were forced to leave Wittenberg, Briesmann still identified as a friar and went back to his home friary in Cottbus, where he held a preaching assignment but also engaged in discussions with his fellow friars about the value of monastic vows. This caused him to show his hand in a public letter Unterricht und Ermahnung, which was printed in Wittenberg. Briesmann left his friary and with the assistance of Georg Spalatin and Luther was allowed to return to Wittenberg at the end of 1522. In subsequent years he got married (June 1525, with Elisabeth Sackheim, former abbess of the Marienkloster in Löbenicht near Königsberg) and became an important figure in the propagation of the Lutheran cause in Prussia and Livland, with pamphlets/theses, the creation of liturgical 'Ordnungen' (Kurze Ordnung des Kirchendienstes samt einer Vorrede von Ceremonien; Ordnung vom äußerlichen Gottesdienst und Artikel der Zeremonien, wie es in den Kirchen des Herzogtums zu Preußen gehalten wird, etc.) and preaching. See for more information the literature below as well as https://second.wiki/wiki/johann_briesmann

Joannes Brixerius/Britius (Jean Brissy/Jean Brisse/Johannes Brixeus/Joannes de Brixia, d. 1445)

OM. French friar. Lectured on the Sentences pro exercitio at Metz and Toul. Guardian and corrector of the Parisian convent. Received the licence of theology at Paris after reading the Senteces pro gradu in 1395 [MS Paris BN Lat 5657-A, f. 11v; CHUP IV, 11]. In 1398, he voted for substraction of the French church from the obedience of pope Benedict XIII. Would have written a treatise in favor of the Observance and would have been involved with the decree concerning the Observance issued at the Council of Constance [cf. Wadding, Annales Minorum X, 249]. Later, he would support Eugenius IV against the Council of Basel. In 1423, he became confessor of the queen of France, Marie d’Anjou. Around the same time, he became provincial minister of the French province. He died at the Grand Couvent de Paris on 18 February 1445 and was buried in the convent’s chapter room.

Johannes Brugman (Joannes Brugnanus/Joannes Brugmanus, ca. 1400, Kempen-1473, Nijmegen)

OMConv & OMObs. Dutch Friar from the Kempen region (Brabant, Low Countries). Popular preacher and reformer. Acquaintance of Dionysius the Carthusian. Johannes Brugman entered the Conventual Franciscans in the Den Bosch friary (provincia coloniensis). He studied at the studium generale of Paris (lectorate program). Thereafter active against the Observants, until a change of heart in 1445. Transferred to the Observants and went in 1447 to Mechelen (Malines), with the Cologne provincial minister to introduce the Observance. This was accomplished with substantial force, leading to protracted conflicts. Around this time, Brugman probably wrote his Speculum Imperfectionis. Between 1448 and 1450, Brugman was guardian at the Mechelen friary. Around this time, he also started to preach. During his first series of preaching trips (situated by Van den Hombergh between 1451 and 1456), Brugman visited the North-Eastern parts of the Low Countries and the adjacent parts of Lower Germany. In this period, he would have interiorized some elements of Modern Devotion teachings. In 1454, Brugman became guardian in the friary of Sluis, the most northern friary in the Franciscan provincia Franciae. Between June 1455 and Spring 1456 he traveled again. The next two years, betwween 1456 and 1458 he lectured theology at St. Omer (an important Observant studium). This was followed by a second period of travels as penitentiary preacher in the Rhine region, Holland and in Westphalia. In this period, he established his name as a popular preacher. In July/August 1462, while still active as a travelling preacher, he was made provincial vicar of the Observant Cologne province. In this position, he continued to stimulate the expansion of the Observance (establishing new Observant houses with local support of secular authorities proved to be a more successful procedure than trying to reform existing Franciscan Conventual houses). Due to exhaustion and possibly due to a stroke, he had to give up his vicatiate position (May 1464). He recovered enough to preach again: in these years he is known to have preached in a number of female religious houses. In 1467, he retired to the Observant friary of Nijmegen, where he died in June 1473. His literary production is big, containing (non-academic) theological works that bear connections with the Modern Devotion and the Observant reform, sermons, spiritual treatises, and popular categetical works.

For their relations and the order in which they found their way into modern editions, see the studies of Benjamin de Troeyer and Thom Mertens (2007).
A range of Brugman’s (Dutch) sermons have been edited, especially those dating from the mid 1460s, most of which are carefully revised sermons meant for publication. They normally address female religious and show Brugman’s predilection for some 12th and 13th century theologians (notably Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, David of Augsburg, Ubertino of Casale) and for Ludolph of Saxony. See especially: Jan Brugman, Verspreide Sermoenen, ed. A. van Dijk, Klassieke Galerij, 41 (Amsterdam-Antwerpen, 1948); Onuitgegeven sermoenen van Jan Brugman, O.F.M., ed. P.

Vita Alme Virginis Liidwine, ed. A. de Meijer (Groningen, 1963) [Saints’ life of Lidwina of Schiedam, partly based on the notes of Jan Wouters, Lidwina’s confessor. For a second version of the work, Brugman used the work of Jan Gerlach. The edition of Meijer is based on this longer version of 1456. The Vita Alme Virginis Liidwine is modelled on David of Augsburg's Profectus Religiosorum (with the three grades of perfection), and at times follows almost literaly Bonaventure’s Legenda Major. The emphasis is on the saint’s total subjugation to the Divine will. For older editions of versions one (a.o. Cologne, 1483/Louvain, 1485) and two (a.o. Delft, 1487 and 1490), see De Troeyer, I, 75. Cf. also BHL n. 4933-4926, and AASS Aprilis II, 270ff (the Vita Prior mentioned there is the second version of the Vita). A third redaction (Vita Posterior) was published at Schiedam (1498; See also AASS Aprilis II, 302ff.). A French translation of Brugman’s Vita Alme Virginis Liidwine appeared in Douai/Doornik, 1601]

Joannes Brytt (John Brytt/Bryll/Bruyl, d. after 1420)

OM. English friar. Active in the Newcastle convent. Papal chaplain in 1396 and guardian of the London convent in 1397. He was and promoted to the Irish episcopal see of Enachdun (Annaghdown) by pope Boniface IX in 1402, at a moment when he was suffragan bishop of Winchester. Not known whether he actually made it to his diocese, which had become vacant after the death of the Franciscan bishop Henry Trillowe. In December 1408, John’s successor was appointed (John Wyn). Yet John is found as suffragan bishop at York between 1417 and 1420. Scholars assume that he should be identified with John Bruyl, who at one point in time was in the possession of a set of Aristotelian works, now found at Oxford (MS Oxford, Bodleian, Digby 153), and wrote notes and comments in the margin.

Joannes Burgundus (Jean Bourgeois, d. 1494)

OM. French friar. Born in La Bresse. Entered the novitate in the Observant friary of Dôle. In 1470, he helped create the Observant friary of Chambéry and was in subsequent years also involved with the creation of Observant houses in Cluses, Pont de Vaux and Moustiers. Jean Bourgeous had quite a reputation as a popular preacher. According to the Chronique de Besançon (Bibliothèque municipale de Besançon, MS 1616, fol. 162f), where he preached between 1484 and 1486, his public ‘Ploroit beaucoup…faisoit souvent crier miséricorde par le peuple…se mettoit à pleurer de telle façon qu’il demeuroit come pasmé en la chère.’ Later, in 1488, Jean Bourgeois is found in Paris, where he preached and apparently was appointed ordinary confessor of Charles VIII. In 1492 he is found preaching in Angers and Tours. As late as 1492, he founds with royal support the Observant friary of Lyon, where he remains vicar until his death. He is soon after venerated as a saint by the locals.

Chronica de la provincia de Syria y Tierrasanta da Gerusalem. Contiene los progresos, que en ella ha hecho la religion serafica desde el año 1219 hasta el de 1632 (Madrid: Por Iuan García Infaçon, 1684). An Italian reworking, prepared by Angelico di Milano, appeared as the Historia chronologica della provincia de Siria e Terra santa di Gerusalemme, dove nostro Salvatore operó le maraviglie della redenzione, trans. Angelico da Milano (Venice: Antonio Tivani, 1694). This Italian texts sometimes includes info not present in the Spanish original. These are rather detailed and readable chronological accounts of the Franciscans in the Holy Land, their settlements and vicissitudes, as well as the indulgences to obtain and tributes/taxes to pay, divided in eight books. The accounts end with the conflict with the Greeks over the Holy Sepulcher in the years 1631/2. Juan apparently was working on a sequel top his Chronica. Yet that did not see the printing press.

Joannes Capet (Jean Capet, fl. c. 1500)

OMObs. French friar. Studied at the College of Navarra (Paris), and at Boulogne-la-Grasse. Became doctor in law and theology. After his entrance in the order, he became chaplain of cardinal Raymond Perault (d. 1505). Due to Jean’s influence, cardinal Perault sent several relics to the Franciscans of Koblenz, to the Poor Clares of Beauvais, and to Jeanne de Valois (foundress of the Annonciade). Apparently, Jean produced for cardinal Perault a short Traité de patience, modeled on Tertulian (mentioned in a letter by Perault to Jeanne de Valois, written in Basel, 30 June, 1504.). This work seems to be lost. In addition, Jean produced a Voie briefve de Paradis, contenante le pardon de paine et de coulpe [...] composee en l'an de grace 1498 par ung venerable religieulx de l'ordre de Saint François [...] nommé Jehan Capet(1498), and a series of sermons.

Joannes Clericus (Jean Clerici, fl. c. 1527)

OFM. Belgian friar from the Provincia Flandriae. Active as (anti-reformatory) preacher, and as guardian in Le Biez (Artois/Artesia). Would have escaped an attack by Protestant agitators. Confessor of the nuns of the Annonciade of Béthune. He died in Le Biez (St. Vaast, present-day France, Pas-de-Calais dept.) in 1532. A series of his French sermons have survived, both in manuscripts and in old editions. Besides, several of the spiritual teachings in his sermons have been reworked into a few treatises, namely Le Traicté des fondemens du temple spirituel de Dieu, Le Traicté de exemplaire penitence, Le Manuel des Chrestiens, and Le Traicté nommé des trois passions de nostre seigneur Jesuchrist. Only the first two of these seem to have survived. According to some, he also wrote a commentary on the Song of Songs.

Joannes Clyn (John Clyn, ca. 1286/1300-1349)

OM. Irish friar. Franciscan friar from Leinster near Kilkenny, in a family that might have had roots in Somerset. Known as the author of the Annalium Hiberniae chronicon, ad annum MCCCXLIX, which starts with the birth of Christ and ends in 1349 (the last entry is an eulogy of Fulk de la Freigne). Until 1332, the work is nearly completely a compilation of other chronicles. For his own lifetime, Clyn included much original material, notably on Ireland. The work has come down to us in four seventeenth-century transcripts, based on an older original in the possession of David Rothe, bishop of Ossory (early 17th cent). The transcripts indicate that Clyn’s annals once were part of a community book of the Franciscan friars at Kilkenny. This might explain, as has been suggested by Bernadette A. Williams, why the annals do not contain much information of the order: that information might have been in the adjacent community book that we don’t have any more. All things we know about the author and the creation of the annals has to be derived from the work itself. From that it can be inferred that Clyn probably began writing his annals in or around 1333. The annals also inform us that in 1336 Clyn was the first guardian of the projected Carrickbeg friary (near Carrick-on-Suir). When the construction of this friary faltered after 1338, due to the death of its main donor, the earl of Ormond, Clyn might have left and later became guardian of Kilkenny friary. Information on continental affairs in the early 1340s suggests that Clyn might have attended the Franciscan general chapter of Marseilles (1343). Near the end the annals give a dramatic account of the arrival of the Plague in Ireland. In this part, Clyn discloses his authorship. Other works ascribed to Clyn by Bale and other bibliographers have never been found.
For other Irish Franciscan chronicles/chroniclers, see: : Annales de Monte Fernandi (Annales of Multyfarnham) compiled by Stephen of Exonia (See there); the Kilkenny Chronicle (three sections compiled in different periods. 1. Section for the years 1264-1322 (compiled by the friars of Castedermot (Tristledermot); 2. Section for the years 1202-1264, using the Annales Monte Fernandi (compiled in an unedited ms in the friary in Lenister); 3. Section for the years 1316-1332, almost identical with the annals of Clyn (this section compiled after 1330 in Kilkenny). The Kilkenny chronicle edited from British Libr. Cotton Vespasin B XI..; The Annals of Ross, existing only in a 17th century transcript (Trinity College Dublin 547 ff. 410-12, edited with the Annals of Clyn; the Annals of Nenagh, written at the friary of Nenagh after the middle of the fourteenth century, edited from a 17th century transcript of the lost original manuscript (British Libr. Landsdowne 418, ff. 40-42) This chronicle allegedly was produced by Galfridus O'Hogan (see there); the Annales of Inisfallen (written ca. 1360), parts of which are regarded as Franciscan (ed.: R.I. Best & E. MacNeill, Annals of Inisfallen, reproduced by facsimile...with a Descriptive Introduction (Dublin, 1933).)

Johannes Colganus (John Colgan, 1592?-1658)

OFMRef. Irish friar. Hagiographer. He was born in the County of Donegal, in the parish of Donagh. He had left Ireland before or by 1615. He was ordained priests and entered the Franciscans at Louvain (St. Anthony College) on 26 April 1620, where he studied theology under the lectors Thomas Fleming and Robert Chamberlain. After finishing at Louvain, he might have taught philosophy at Aachen (Aix-en-Chapelle) before he was made lector at Mainz around 1628. He probably stayed there until early 1634, when he returned to Louvain, to take up the position of novice master. A year later, afer the death of Hugh Ward, John Colgan became professor of theology in St Anthony College. In this position, he continued the collection and edition of irish historical and hagiographical materials, which had started in the 1620s by his predecessor Hugh Ward and a number of other Irish Franciscans active at Louvain, such as Patrick Fleming, and Michael O Cleirigh. After taking over as the director of this project, Colgan and his team devised a large, multi-volume work on Irish history and hagiography, under the financial patronage of Thomas Fleming and Hugh O'Reilly, archbishop of Armagh. The prospected third volume of this work, the Acta sanctorum veteris et maioris Scotiae, seu, Hiberniae sanctorum insulae, was ready for press on November 1643 and appeared in early 1645. It contained 270 saints’ lives for feast days for the first three months of the year. The first two prospective volumes of the series were a overview of the sacred and profane history of Ireland and Irish missionaries abroad, and a source collection for the vitae of Saint Patrick, Saint Brigid and Saint Columcille. The first of these volumes never appeared, but the second volume, the Triadis thaumaturgae, was published in 1647. It is interesting that the editors and printers felt it necessary to create for this volume a new typecast. Further volumes were not issued, due to a lack of funds. Hence the Acta sanctorum veteris et maioris Scotiae for the remaining months of the year did not see the light (After Colgan’s death, other friars took over the charge of pubishing some of the edited materials. This led in later decades to the publication of the Vita S. Rumoldi and Patrick Fleming’s Collectanea sacra. Further unpublished materials of Colgan’s work on such collections disappeared in the aftermath of the French Revolution). In June 1651 Colgan was promoted to the position of commissary of the three main Irish Franciscan colleges. But he asked to be relieved of this position in February of the following year, due to health problems. This also motivated him to refused a request from the order leadership to formulate a perspective on Zacharius Borenius’s positions concerning the Franciscan observants. Colgan did publish in 1655 a booklet on the nationality of John Duns Scotus. Three years later, on 15 January 1658, Colgan died in the Louvain St. Anthony’s college.

Joannes Collimantus (Jean Collimant/Colimant, fl. early 16th cent.)

OM & OFM. French friar. 1508 Doctor of theology in France and in 1510 guardian of the Orléans friary, In 1516, he was preacher at Orléans for the ‘Fête Dieu’. In 1530 he voted in the theology faculty in favor of the invalidation of the marriage between Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. In 1533, he was provincial minister of Touraine. In 1534 he was stripped of all administrative responsibilities by the order in the wake of the so-called Pierre d’Arras affaire, which amounted to a invented apparition of a deceased female benefactor of the Orléans friary who had been interred on the friary’s grounds, but whose grave the friars wanted to empty to use it for a more important ‘catch’ The apparition would have suggested the friars that she had been Lutheran during her life and for that purpose was put in Hell and unworthy to rest in Franciscan ground. She would continue to hound the friary until the body had been removed. In her Heptaméron, Marguerite of Navarre accused Colimant to have persuaded fellow friars that the Gospel was not more believable than the commentaries of Caesar. His fellow friar Guillaume Huet dedicated to him the Serpens antiquus de septem peccatis criminalibus (Paris: Joh. Frellon, ca. 1505/Paris: Jodocus Badius, 1519). [Question: what was the precise authorial relation between Etiènne Nobileau (OFM) and Guillaume Huet (OFM) concerning this work?].

Joannes Coloniensis II (Johannes von Köln/Agrippinus, 2nd half 15th cent.)

OMConv. German friar from the Rhine area; Scotist theologian. Known for his Quaestiones Magistrales, an alphabetically organised compendium of 430 abbreviated questions derived from the works of Scotus. He sometimes is erronously identified with Johan Blomendal, who lived and worked a century earlier. The 1476/1477 edition of the Quaestiones Magistrales inform us that Joannes de Colonia was sacrarum litterarum professor. Yet nothing is known about his possible teachings at the Franciscan Cologne studium, at Cologne University, or elsewhere (see for another opinion on this matter the work of Schlageter)

Joannes Consilius (Jean Conseil/Jean Duconseil, fl. 16th cent.)

OFM. French friar. Took his profession in the Thons friary (Vosges) and became an active member of the Observant Saint Bonaventure province (previously the Burgundian province). Became doctor of theology at Paris on 17 March 1539. Provincial minister between 1542 and 1545. Thereafter, he became for two years (1545-1547) the house theologian of the bishop of Clermont, Guillaume Duprat. In this position, he participated in the first sessions of the Council of Trente, where he urged in April 1546 for a new edition of the Vulgate, gave a sermon on the Ascension on June 3rd 1546, and prepared with other theologians several discussions on justification, the eucharist, and indulgences (in sessions on justification (June 22 and September 27 1546), on the sacraments in general (24, 25 January 1547 and 18 February 1547) and on indulgences (28 June 1547)), to counter Protestant views. He also took part, as provincial custodian, in the general chapter of Assisi (28 May 1547), where he was elected general definitor of the Ultramontan Observants. He was back in France around 1550, and in 1551 he can be found again in the Grand Couvent de Paris, where he was a house discretus and a study prefect. On May 2nd 1555, he was one of three masters who were given the task to teach biblical studies. In 1556, he received much resistance as general commissioner for the four French Franciscan provinces. Jean was confessor and counsellor of the French King Henry II. In 1559, the Princess Elisabeth, eldest daughter of the King, took him with her to Spain when she married the Spanish King Philip II. It is not known whether or not he was present when Elisabeth died in Madrid on 3 October 1568. Jean possibly died himself in 1577. Jean was not a prolific author. He wrote some sermons and a number of theological treatises, among which was a treatise on the sacraments (directed against Protestant ideas), and some explanations surrounding decisions of the Council of Trent. None of these works seem to have reached the printing press.

Johannes Contractus (Johannes Kortz/Johann Korz/Joannes de Saxonia, second half fourteenth century)

OM. German? friar, According to some a Dutch friar, and member of the Cologne province. According to others a German friar and member of the Saxony province. Famous preacher, whose works (Sermones de Tempore et de Sanctis) survived in several mss. According to Stephen Mossman (2012), Johannes Contractus (transformed by modern scholars into the vernacular Kortz, Korz) is an imaginary figure, and that there is no real evidence that we are dealing with a friar of Netherlandish descent. As most extant manuscripts are from South German libaries, the autor might actually be a friar from Southern Germany.

Joannes Coronel (Juan Coronel, 1569-1651)

OFM. Spanish friar from Torija (Guadalajara). As a young student of liberal arts at the Alcalá de Henares university, Juan took the habit at the age of fifteen in the friary of San Diego de Alcalá. After his noviciate and further studies, he traveled to Yucatan in 1590 or 1593, where he was ordained priest and became active as a teacher (Diego López de Cogolludo was one of his disciples) and a pastoral worker, and helped to incorporate Yucatán in the San José province. He learned Mayan and published a set of works of pastoral care in that language, reworking in part earlier works by Villalpando, Landa, Solana and Antonio de Ciudad Real. He also taught Mayan to others (such as López de Cogolludo), and served as a guardian of several friaries. In 1621, he became definitor. He died on January 14, 1651.

Joannes Crespi (Juan Crespi, 1721-1782)

OFM. Spanish friar from Majorca. He entered the Franciscan order at the age of 17 and subsequently became active in New Spain, traveling with Francisco Palou and Junipero Serra to the New World in 1749. In 1767 he is found as guardian of the Misión La Purísima Concepción de Cadegomó (Baja California Peninsula). Twenty years later, in 1769, he traveled with soldiers and a missionary group that included Gaspar de Portolá and Junipero Serra to San Diego and then onwards to Monterey. For this expedition, which some made via the coast and others by sea, Crespi was made one of the three diarists, and as such was one of the very first Europeans to describe parts of California. Beyond Monterey, Crespi went onward towards what is now the San Francisco area, and in 1774, he was chaplain of an expedition to the North Pacific.

works

Historia de la conquista de las sietes islas de Gran Canaria (contested ascription). The work has survived in several manuscripts that differ significantly from each other. The most important manuscript copies are kept in the Biblioteca Municipal de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one dating from 1676 and one from between 1775 and 1787. The 1676 version has been the main source for the editions mentioned below. Both manuscript copies apparently go back to an original, now lost manuscript from 1632.

OFM. Belgian friar. Confessor of the Poor Clares of Mechelen (1535) and Antwerp (1538), When, in 1535, the humanist Jacques Lefèvre d’Etaples published in Antwerp the Contemplationes Idiotae (probably a work of the late fourteenth century Augustinian regular canon Raymundus Jordanus, now re-issued with an introduction of Jacques Lefèvre d’Etaples), friar Jan van Alen quickly provided a Dutch reworking on request of friar Matthias Weynsen. This work was entitled Contemplationes in duytsche. This booklet, which did not solely gave a Dutch rendering of the Latin text, but also added to it Een dancbaerheyt van dye gheheele passie ons heeren Iesu Christi (which is largely almost literally derived from the Fasciculus Myrrhe, an anonymous Franciscan production), received three editions between 1535 and 1540. Jan van Alen died in Antwerp in 1541.

works

Contemplationes idiote in duytsche(Antwerp: Willem Vorsterman z.j., probably late 1535/Antwerp: Willem Vorsterman, z.j., c. 1536; Antwerp: Willem Vorstermanz.j., c. 1538/Antwerp: Marten Huyssens, 1607) [The first six boecxkens of the Dutch version follow the Latin text, entitled respectively: Van der godlicher liefde (24 chapters); Vander maghet Maria (6 chapters); Van warachtige verduldicheit (21 chapters); Van den stadighen strijde des vleesch ende der zielen (20 chapters); Van der verloren onnoselheyt (7 chapters); Vander doot (20 chapters). In the Latin original, the final book on death is followed by a short biography of Christ (Compendiaria vitae Christi per Evangelistas enarratio). In Jan van Alen’s translation, this is exchanged for a different text, namely Een dancbaerheyt van dye gheheele passie ons heeren Iesu Christi (which is largely almost literally derived from the Franciscan Fasciculus Myrrhe].

Joannes de Alvernia (Joannis Firmanus/Giovanni della Verna, 1259-1322) Beatus, feast 13 August.

OM. Italian friar from Fermo. Became an Augustinian regular canon at the age of 10. Three years later, at the age of 13, he entered the Franciscan order (1272) in the March of Ancona. Was stringent in his observance of Franciscan poverty, yet did not evolve into a full-blown spiritual, due to his strong sense of obedience. He nevertheless kept close ties with some spirituals, in particular with Jacopone da Todi, whom he assisted at his death bed (24 December 1306). As an adult friar, John moved to the Tuscan province, and after 1289, he retreated as a hermit to LaVerna, where he died on 9 August, 1322. At Alverna, he lived in a small hut in the woods, spending the evening meal with the local Franciscan community. The rest of his day, he spent with prayer and meditation. Renowned for his ascetisim and his extasies (during which he would have received visions of Francis, Laurentius, the Virgin, and his guardian angel). Would have been consulted by many prelats and theologians. Also renowned for his episodic preaching tours during Lent in Toscana and Umbria, notably during the latter years of his life (esp. at Pisa, Florence, Arezzo, Perugia, and Siena). On 24 July 1311, he testified to the authenticity of the Portiuncola indulgence. He died in the la Verna hermitage on 10 August 1322.

Joannes de Argamanes (Juan de Argumanes, ca. 1458-1535)

OFM. Spanish friar. Entered the order in the Santiago province. Was novice master at S. Francisco de Mayorga (1498-1501), and subsequently guardian of S. Francisco de Caceres (c. 1502) and Toro (c.1504-1506). Visitator of the extremadura convents that followed the reform of Juan de Guadalupe. Provincial of the Santiago province between 1507-1510. In this function he struggled against the partisans of the Guadelupe or ‘Capuce’reform (esp. Pedro de Bobadilla y Melgar), who wanted to become independent of the Santiago province (compromise reached at Évora (21-01, 1509)). Juan was guardian of S. Francisco de Salamanca between 1510 and 1515. When, in 1521, Francisco de Zafra was deposed as provincial of the Santiago province, as the majority of friars found him too lenient towards the partisans of the Guadelupe reform, Juan Argumanes was chosen to replace him. Yet Francisco Quiñones decided to have both men removed from the Santiago province, in order to restore the peace. Thereafter, Juan de Argumanes retreated into the Jarandilla convent in the Los Angeles province. During his career, Juan published several works, showing interest in matters pertaining to the order’s history, juridical status, and spiritual legacy, and propagating the indulgences granted to the Franciscan order.

Joannes de Avella (Giovanni Piscione d’Avella, c. 1580 - 1640)

OFM. Italian friar, born at Avella (in the province of Avellino). Entered the Franciscan Observant branch in the Neapolitan province of Terracdi Lavoro. In the order he developed himself into a distinguished preacher and theologian, as well as into a well-respected composer, performer and theoretician of music. Sometime in the early seventeenth century he was guardian of the Avella convent. Thereafter, between 1620 and 1635, he was rector of the Neapolitan Ecce Homo confraternity (devoted to the commemoration and contemplation of Christ’s passion). Giovanni compiled the confraternity’s statutes, and wrote/edited works of contemplation for use by the confraternity members (cf. Contemplationi devote, of 1637). Giovanni played an important role in the development of church music at the Neapolitan church Sta Maria la Nuova. He was a musical innovator, introducing the so-called ‘canto dimidiato’, which was to have a great success throughout the kingdom of Naples, and producing a work of musical didactics (Regole di musica), which was published after his death (he died in 1640 in the infirmary of the Sta Maria la Nova).

works

Works of contemplation for use by Neapolitan confraternity members. Some of his musical manuscripts apparently are kept in the Franciscan provincial library of Naples and in the library of the Neapolitan musical conservatorium S. Pietro a Maiella.

Contemplationi devote di quindici spine principali, che punsero il cuore della beatissima Vergine Maria nella passione e morte del suo figlio Gesù Cristo (Naples: Antonio Beltrano, 1637).

Regole di musica divise in cinque trattati con li quali s’insegna il canto fermo e figurato, per vere e facili regole. Il modo di fare il contrappunto, di comporre l’uno e l’altro canto. Di cantare alcuni canti difficili e molte cose nuove e curiose (Rome: Francesco Moneta, 1657)

Joannes de Canali (Johannes Canales/Giovanni da Ferrara/Giovanni de’Cocchi/de Curribus/Cauchorio, d. 1462)

OMConv. Italian friar from Ferrara. By some later bibliographers named Hieronymus Cavallus and situated a century later. Preacher and theologian. Professor of theology at the University of Ferrara. Wrote a humanist chronicle of the Este family and a philosophical treatise De Immortalitate Animae, later revised and published as De Coelesti Vita. Juan de San Antonio ascribes to him also De Paradiso & animae felicitate & De Inferno & Animae cruciatu, which would be kept in the library of the Sant'Antonio friary in Padua and were supposedly issued in Venice in 1494, yet those are in fact part of Liber de coelesti vita et de animorum immortalitate. Most of these treatises seem to have been dedicated to Sigismondo Malatesta. Giovanni died in Bologna.

Joannes de Capestrano (Joannes Capestran/Giovanni da Capestrano: 1386, Capestrano - 1456, Ilok on theDanube) Sanctus, feast 23 October

OMObs. Italian friar. Son of a Savoyard nobleman who held the town of Capestrano for the Count of Celano. Pursued studies of Roman and Canon law at Perugia, and became active as lawyer and administrator in the Neapolitan area (assistent of the Neapolitan tribunal; Judge in 1412; Governor of Perugia?). Made prisoner during the conflict between Perugia and the warlord Malatesta. Had a conversion experience and broke with both his professional life and his marriage. Entered the Observants at Monteripido, near Perugia in 1415/16, at the age of 30. Priest in 1417. Studied moral theology under Bernardine of Siena. Held several functions in the order and became at the same time active as Itinerant Observant preacher. He quickly became a very renowned homiletic authority and spokesman for the Observance. Worked closely with papacy (esp. Eugenius IV and Martin V), and was repeatedly chosen papal legate. Famous are Capistrano’s well-organized preaching missions in the German Empire and Poland between 1451-54 (with twelve Franciscan helpers and a host of interpreters), and his preaching tours through Hungary. A substantial part of his preaching was directed against the Hussites, the Turcs (crusade preaching rallies; active at the siege of Belgrade), and the Jews (denouncing their alleged practices of usury, and arguing for their ‘conversion’ to Christianity). Besides, he dealt with many of the moral issues that also can be found in the sermons and actions of Bernardine of Siena and other renowned Observant preachers (which included the formation of confraternities, the stimulation of the third order (of which Capistran sometimes is mentioned to be the real inventor), the foundation of montes pietatis and hospitals). Active as inquisitor against Italian fraticelli (sometimes together with Giacomo della Marca), and against followers of the Miroir des simples âmes of Marguerite Porete in Venice. Between 1443-1446 and again between 1449-1452, John of Capistran was general vicar of the Observants. During his vicariate, and with papal support, the Observants obtained almost full independence from the Conventual branch, while officially maintaining the unity of the Franciscan order. John died on 23 October 1456 at Ilok, on the Danube. His grave became a cult site, until it was destroyed by the Turcs in 1526. He was officially canonised in 1690 [Cf. AASS Oct. 23 X, 427-42 & AAS XLVII, 714-716.]
Many of his sermons and several letters and theological treatises have survived, but most of them still need a critical edition.

works

Opera Omnia. Most of Giovanni da Capestrano's works are only available in old editions and in a significant number of manuscripts. See for instance the manuscripts in the national library of Naples, such as MSS I.A.23; V.H.57; VII.E.29; VII.F.2.26; VII.E.36; XII.G.5; XII.G.7; VII.E.3; VIII.A.7; VIII.A.12; III.A.14 (Brancacciano); VII.F.1; VIII.AA.30; VIII.B.35, as well as Capestrano, Bib. Conv. XXXI [= Sermones Quadragesimales, 1424] A further scrutiny of mss libraries no doubt will bring more manuscripts to light. See also Cenci, the articles of Chiappini, Hofer, Lusczki, Forni & Vian, and especially Lucianus Luszcki, De sermonibus S. Ioannis a Capistrano. Studium Historico-Criticum, Studia Antoniana16 (Rome, 1961).
Around 1700, stimulated by John’s canonisation, most of his works were gathered in sixteen volumes by G.A. Sessa. [Cf. Chiappini (1927), 28-38]. This collection did not reach the printing press, but is available in several photographic copies, for instance in the library of the Franciscan Institute, St. Bonaventure University. For a more or less complete overview of old collections and editions, see aside from Juan de San Antonio also Zawart, 353-354; A. Chiappini, La produzione letteraria di S. Giovanni da Capestrano (Gubbio, 1927) [also with info on the collection gathered by Sessa, on pp. 28-38]. The work of Chiappini was also published in parts in Miscellanea Franciscana 24 (1924), 109-149; 25 (1925), 157-198; 26 (1926), 52-66; 27 (1927), 54-104; L. Luszczki, De sermonibus S.

This text was written in January 1445, when Giovanni was vicar of the regular Observants. Subsequently, this declaration was given a papal interpretation by Eugenius IV, to clarify Capistran’s remarks on the adherence to the precepts of the rule.)
For an edition, see: Declaratio Primae Regulae Sanctae Clarae, ed. Donatus van Adrichem, in: AFH, 22 (1929), 336-357, 512-528. An introduction to the text, with an edition of the introductory letter can be found in AFH 5 (1912), 301ff. Written in 1445 (Rome) for the Poor Clares of the Corpus Christ & St. Paul convent in Mantua (on the request of abbess Elisabeth). John made wide use of existing constitutions, papal decrees, and also of the constitutions made by Colette of Corbie for the Colettines of France. The Declaratio consists of 1.) a highly polished Epistola responsiva to the abbess Elisabeth, 2.) a declaratio regulae, and 3.) a concluding exhortatio, followed by a solutio quorundam Dubiorum. The rule commentary closely follows the text of the ‘prima regula sanctae Clarae’ stressing the liturgical and penitential obligations of the sisters, as well as the rule of silence. John also shows his problems with oblate recruits and overly young postulants. With reference to Colette of Corbie, who did not accept postulants under eighteen, John urges the abbess to look for postulants of seventeen and older. With regard to De modo laborandi (chapter seven of the rule), John Capistran makes clear ‘quod intentio beati Francisci et sanctae Clarae fuit excludere otium, quia multam malitiam docuit otiositas (Eccl. 33, 29). Item quod laboritium non versetur circa inhonesta et vana ad religionem non convenientia.’ (ed. D. van Adrichem, 512.) In his comments on the ninth chapter, which deals with penitence. John makes clear that sisters should help each other and that ‘abbatissa et sorores caveant, ne irascantur vel conturbentur propter peccatum alicuius. (ed. D. van Adrichem, 515). Of particular significance are John’s remarks concerning the tenth chapter De admonitione et correptione sororum. Strong emphasis that ‘abbatissa familiarem se exhibeat sororibus, ut patienter eas audiat et discrete ac benigne respondeat non reputans se dominam sed ancillam, quia et ipsa ancilla Christi est, et tanquam ancilla Domini spiritualiter et corporaliter iuxta posse ceteris ancillis, quae serviunt in domo Domini famuletur.’ (ed. D. van Adrichem, 516). Also stressed that ‘sorores semper invicem sollicite servent mutue dilectionis unitatem quae est vinculum perfectionis. This rule directive is interpreted as follows: ‘Hoc est dicere: quod sorores invicem se diligant sicut Christus dilexit nos et tradidit semetipsum pro nobis oblationem et hostiam Deo in odorem suavitatis…’ (ed. D. van Adrichem, 516). Clearly an attempt at forging or at least facilitating a team spirit (also clear in chapter on penitence). This section also contains some insights on John’s view of the sisters’s literacy and learning: puts it very much to the discretion of the abbess how much learning the literate sisters should try to obtain, while at the same time stressing the rule’s verdict that the illiterate should not aspire for literacy (compare the rule of Francis). In the final adhortation at the end of the rule commentary, the abbess herself is urged again to become an exemple of perfection: ‘Quae mater est aliarum, in bonis operibus ceteras vincat. Prius seipsam perficiat, ut filias suae curae commissas ad perfectionem semper invitet…’ (ed. D. van Adrichem, 523.) John then ambarks on a description of the perfect abbes mother-virgin, whose virtues, good examples and love for the virgins in her trust will be a sine qua non for the religious life and wellbeing of the community.]

Johannes de Casali (Joannes a Casali Montisferrati/Joannes de Casale/Giovanni da Casale Monferrato, d. in or after 1375)

OM. Italian friar. Theologian and scientist. Entered the order in the Genoa province. Lector at the Assisi studium (1335-1340). Subsequently lector at Cambridge (ca.1440-41: 49th lector at Cambridge studium) and Bologna (1346/1351-52?). Master of theology (? when), and appointed papal legate at the court of King Frederick of Sicily (1375. Cf. BF VI, no. 1410) by Pope Gregory XI. Several of his philosophical and theological works have survived, such as his biblical commentaries (for instance the Lectura super Epistolas S. Pauli etc. (lectured upon in Assisi), an interesting question on velocity and movement of natural bodies (introducing in Italy the Oxfordian ‘new physics’; his quaestio was probably written before 1346, but it was publicly discussed at Bologna in 1351 or 1352), and letters. Mentioned by Bartholomew of Pisa (De Conformitate, AF, IV, 524) Inquisitor in Florence (1344). There is some confusion concerning the identification of John. The references in the sources might refer to various friars with the same name. See Piana.

Johannes de Castello (Jean de Châtillon/Giovanni da Castiglione, second half thirteenth century)

OM. Italian or French friar (Sbaralea suggested that he should be equated with the Italian friar Giovanni da Castiglione, active as inquisitor in the 1270s and 1280s). John of Castello was in any case active in Paris in 1272/1273, where he composed/compiled or copied several large series of sermones de tempore. His sermon collections proved to be popular. Witness the manuscript dissemination.

Joannes de Caulibus (Giovanni de’Cauli/Giovanni da Calvoli, 14th cent.)

OM. Italian friar. Possibly a member of a da Calvoli family from the neighbourhood of San Gimignano or Siena. Entered the Franciscan order in San Gimignano c. 1300 (if we can accept the remarks in Bartholomew of Pisa’s De Conformitate). Not much is known of his life and career in the order (For a more in-depth treatment of the search concerning his background and life, see Marco Arosio’s detailed lemma ‘Giovanni de’Cauli’ in DBI LIV, 768ff). Giovanni da Calvoli (Joannis de Caulibus) is held by many scholars to be the composer of the famous Meditationes Vitae Christi (MVC, maybe written in the 1330s, although many recent scholars tend to place the composition between 1346 and 1364. However, that would indicate that Giovanni's alleged entrance into the order might have to be pushed to a moment later in the fourteenth century), which in the later Middle ages was frequently ascribed to Bonaventure. Several (at least a longer redaction of 95 chapters and a shorter redaction of 41 chapters) redactions of the MVC survive in Latin and the vernacular in many mss. Besides, the section of the passion, also survived separately as the Meditaciones de Passione Christi, orMPC) which also were very popular for centuries, both in Latin and in the vernacular. The original text of the MVC might have been written in Latin, but there might also have been a vernacular original that shortly thereafter was translated into Latin. In any case, the Latin text was conceived as a book (libellus, liber, opusculum, tractatus). It follows the life of Christ, with in between (chapters 45 to 58) a treatise on the active and the contemplative life. The division of the MVC into meditations for each day of the week is not found in fourteenth-century manuscripts, and is an innovation of later editors. The Latin work was directed to a Franciscan nun, a certain ‘Cecilia’ [a Poor Clare of a Tuscan monastery] to guide her and her fellow sisters’ spiritual growth, by focusing with imaginative meditative encounters on the life and Passion of Christ. Stallings-Taney (1998) states on the basis of her philological scrutiny of the text (p. 275-276): ‘These passages, not to mention the entire tenor of the MVC, highlight the considerable misunderstanding of the purpose of the MVC text one encounters in reading Daniel Lesnick’s text, Preaching in Medieval Florence [Columbia, 1989, 143-179]. Lesnick’s statement that ‘the Meditations on the Life of Christ…is the closest we can come to retrieving Franciscan sermons as actually delivered to the laity in medieval Florence’ is clearly untenable. He further states that the ‘Meditations was obviously intended as a sermon or series of sermons for the edification of the laity.’Apart from the fact that Caulibus tells us - over and over again - that his libellum is written for a Franciscan religious, specifically a Poor Clare, it is a mistake to accept the mistranslation of the word sermo from the Paris Italian Ms. 115.’ See on these matters also the 1999 article of Michael Cusato.
Several years ago, Sarah McNamer has provided arguments to rethink completely the origin and textual history of the Meditationes Vitae Christi. In an article from 2009 published in Speculum, she proposes to forget current assumptions about the primacy of the large Latin Meditationes Vitae Christi, the possible product of Giovanni da Calvoli, from which the smaller Latin MVC, MPC and a number of Italian versions were derived. Instead, she argues rather convincingly that the origin of the text goes back to an Italian version, still surviving in one manuscript (MS Oxford, Bodl. Canon. Ital. 174). The exact date of this 'first version' is difficult to determine, but McNamer suggests it which even go back to the 1280s or 1290s. McNamer is not completely sure about the Franciscan provenance of this first version, but provides arguments to situate it in the world of Tuscan Poor Clares. She actually suggests three Poor Clares who could be possible candidates for the production of this oldest Italian version. A first candidate is the Poor Clare Cecilia of Florence (not only because the name 'Cecilia' remained in the main Latin version as the spiritual daughter for whom the text had been conceived, but also because Cecilia of Florence is mentioned in the introduction to Ubertino da Casale's Arbor Vitae Crucifixae Iesu as one of his spiritual guides. She is also mentioned as a nun of the Florentine Monticelli monastery around January 1286 in Mariano of Florence's Libro delle degnità et excellentie del Ordine della Seraphica Madre delle Povere Donne Sancta Chiara da Assisi, ed. Boccali). A second candidate is the poor Clare Elia dei Pulci (d. 1320) (who according to Mariano of Florence's Libro delle degnità, ed. Boccali, p. 207, was a highly accomplished and gifted person ('di singulare ingegno naturale et di gramaticha'), as well as a champion of passion devotion). A third candidate is an as yet unknown Poor Clare from the San Gimignano monastery, where the Franciscan preacher Giovanni da Calvoli was spiritual director.
McNamer suggests that Giovanni da Calvoli reworked the original Italian version (which subsequently was more or less suppressed, and now only seems to survive in MS Oxford, Bodl. Canon. Ital. 17), toning down some of the carnal and overly affective dimensions, and changing it along the lines of more 'desirable' gendered patterns of devotion. The first outcome of this reworking by Giovanni would have been a 'short' Italian version of the MVC (prologue and ca. 40 chapters), known as the Italian 'testo minore' or the 'italienische kleine Text' in older manuscript studies on the MVC. This minor Italian text, which for instance survives in MS Florence, Biblioteca Riccardiana 1419, and dates from 1336 or shortly thereafter (date based on the inclusion of Revelations of Elisabeth of Hungary), in turn became the basis for a 'large' Italian version (prologue and 94 chapters). On the basis of this large Italian text, the large Latin MVC edited by Stallings-Taney would have come into being. This Latin text subsequently would have become the source for nearly all other known versions (the Latin MPC, the small Latin MVC, and the bulk of the surviving vernacular adaptations. Yet another argument for the chronological priority of a vernacular version and its possible origin in San Gimignano (but not necesarily with a Poor Clare as author of the text), through an analysis and reflection on Paris, Bibl. Nationale ms. It. 115 is made in the 2009 article of Jacques Dalarun & Marianne Besseyre. Based on all these diverging opinions, the status of Giovanni as the compiler of the first Italian reworking of an Italian original, or only as the compiler of the large Latin MVC edited by Stallings remains uncertain.
But even more recently, the view of McNamer and that of several others has been challenged on filological grounds by Peter Tóth and Dávid Falvay (2014, 2015 and after), who re-assert the primacy of the Latin tradition, but challenge the authorship of Giovanni di Caulibus altogether, making an interesting case for re-assigning the text’s authorship to the Franciscan Jacobus de Sancto Geminiano, leader of a rigorist spiritual faction that rebelled in 1312 (2014, p. 69). And: ‘…his identification as the author of the text, in contrast with the never-recorded Johannes de Caulibus, has been attested to by several fourteenth-century manuscripts, either in the shorter form of Jacobo or, by one particular copy, in the full form as Jacob da Sangimignano. Furthermore, the dates of the charismatic leadership of the rebels, at the very beginning of the fourteenth century, also seem to accord with the alleged date of the MVC as an early fourteenth- century text. Just like the supposed author of the MVC, the spiritual Jacobus de Sancto Geminiano was also a Franciscan, deeply committed to the original Franciscan ideals of poverty and simplicity.’ (2014, p. 72) Hence, with the Franciscan Jacobus de Sancto Geminiano as the author of the earliest text, he suggests, counter to the argument of McNamer, to re-establish the long Latin text of the as the earliest version of the work, written about 1300, with possibly a Clarissan background for one of the vernacular transformations.<>

If the argument of Tóth and Falvay can be corroborated, we both have to amend McNamer's thesis and, even more dramatically, we have to dismiss Giovanni as author/compiler of the MVC. However, in reply to Tóth and Falvay, McNamer has re-stated her position with more arguments in additional publications (2014 & 2016, 2018 etc., see on that also the review by Pietro Delcorno (Archivum Franciscanum Historicum 112:1-2 (2019), 381-38). Hence the discussion seems to be ongoing.

works

Meditationes Vitae Christi. For manuscripts, see the listings in Fischer (1932, which lists 113 manuscripts), Queirazza (1963), the additions in subsequent works of M. Jordan Stallings-Taney, and the latest insights of McNamer (2009). A few manuscripts we have come across in passing are Cologne, Historisches Archiv GB 4° 57; Wroclaw (Breslau) University Library cod. I.F. 115; Manuscripts abound not only of the Latin version, but also of medieval Italian versions and translations into other European languages [see also the 1952 article of Vaccari, the 1952 article of Petrocchi, the article of Ruh in VL² VI, 282-290, Flora (2009), and again McNamer (2009)]. Most famous is the Italian version found in MS Paris BN Ital. 115, which also contains 193 pen drawings of scenes from the life of Christ. See on this the edition and translation by Ragusa and Green and the 2009 study of Holly Flora.
The Latin text has been issued in print repeatedly. See: Meditationes Vitae Christi, in: Bonaventura, Opera Omnia, ed. A.C. Peltier & Vivés (Paris, 1864-1871) XII, 509-630 [for a complete survey of old editions, see Stallings (1998), 254ff]. A first critical edition of the passion part was provided by M. Jordan Stallings, as the Meditationes de Passione Christi olim attributae S. Bonaventurae, ed. M. Jordan Stallings, The Catholic University of America Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Latin Language and Literature XXV (Washington, 1965). A fully revised critical edition of the whole work appeared as Meditationes Vite Christi olim S. Bonaventuro attributae, ed. M. Jordan Stallings-Taney, CCCM, n. 153 (Turnhout, 1997). Stalling-Taney’s re-edition brings back the medieval Latin text and corrects many changes that had been made in the Renaissance editions on the basis of which Peltier edited the text in the Opera Omnia of Bonaventure.
Aside from these editions of the Latin text, there are also more diplomatical editions and translations of vernacular versions. See for instance: Meditations on the Life of Christ. An Illustrated Manuscript of the Fourteenth Century, Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, MS. Ital. 115, ed., trans. & introd. Isa Ragusa and Rosalie B. Green (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1961); Sarah McNamer, Meditations on the Life of Christ. The Short Italian Text, ed. Sarah McNamer, The William and Katherine Devers Series in Dante and Medieval Italian Literature, 14 (Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2018) [Cf. Review in Archivum Franciscanum Historicum 112 (2019), 381-385. McNamer again argues, as in earlier studies, that the The Italian 'short text' is the first among the early versions of the Meditations, and that it was composed by a woman, a Poor Clare from Pisa. See on this also the comments by Delcorno, Falvay and others]; Le Meditationes vitae Christi in volgare secondo il codice Paris, BnF, it. 115. Edizione, commentario e riproduzione del corredo iconografico, ed. Diego Dotto, David Fálvay & Antonio Montecusco (Venice: Foscari, 2021).
In addition, several modern translations have been issued: John of Caulibus. Meditations on the Life of Christ, trans. Francis Taney, Anne Miller, and Mary Stallings-Taney (Asheville, NC: Pegasus Press, 2000); For a (modern) French translation of the Latin text, see: Méditations sur la vie du Christ, ed. Paul Bayart (Paris, 1958). An Italian translation by Lázaro Iriarte can be found in Mistici Francescani Secolo XIV, II (Assisi- Bologna, 1997), 801-972 (which, in the introduction also provides additional information concerning other nineteenth-century and twentieth-century Italian translations).

Joannes de Cazalla (Juan de Cazalla, c. 1480 - d. before 1532)

OFM. Spanish friar from a converted Jewish family; born in Palma (Murcia). Unknown whether he joined the Observants or the Conventuals. In any case master of theology, and strong Humanist grounding in Latin and Greek (cf. his commentary on the Greek NT), and his admiration for Erasmus (defended Erasmus against Franciscan detractors in a 1523 letter to his fellow friar Francisco Ortiz, who in a sermon had attacked the Praise of Folly. Entered in the service of cardinal Jiménez de Cisneros (archbishop of Toledo). After Cisneros’ death, Juan became titular bishop of Vera, with the right of fulfilling episcopal tasks in the city and the diocese of Avila. Maybe also titular bishop of Troye. Became involved with the alumbrados/iluminados (together with his sister María de Cazalla, who later had to face inquisitorial questioning). Juan has left behind a significant bodu of spiritual and anti-astrological texts.

The work has been edited as: Un tratado teológico de Juan Cazalla contra la astrología judicaria, ed. M. Andrés, in: Burgense XVI (1975), 577-589.

It is also available on http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/obra-visor/lumbre-del-alma--0/html/ and on https://www.biblioteca.org.ar/libros/155970.pdf The work, written in a form of a dialogue, amounts to a Castilian reworking/translation of the Viola Animae of Pietro Dorlando, which in itself was an adaptation of Raymundo Sebond’s Theologia Naturalis. Diego Estella’s Meditaciones del Amor de Dios is, in turn, largely dependent on Juan’s Lumbre del Alma.

Joannes de Daventria (Johannes a Daventria/Jan van Deventer, d. 21 October, 1554)

OFM. Dutch Observant friar from Deventer. Already preacher in 1518 and in 1524 guardian in Dorsten. Four years later, in 1528, he was discrete for his province. He was opposed to the division of the Cologne province, and after the erection of the Lower Dutch province in 1529, he remained active within the German part of the Observant Cologne province, to become guardian in Hamm in 1530, guardian in Brühl and Provincal between 1532-1535, 1546-1549 (presiding over the chapter held at Groningen), and 1552-1554. In 1547, during his second stint as provincial, he was also appointed general definitor at the general chapter of Assisi. Well-regarded preacher at the Cathedral of Cologne from 1526 or 1527 onwards. Active defender of monastic discipline and Catholicism, renowned preacher and theological controversialist. The sermon he held in the Cathedral of Cologne on 17 September 1531, in which he dwelt on Purgatory, caused a prolonged conflict with the Lutheran-minded Bernard Rothmann. This dispute, which lasted until after 1532, caused Jan van Deventer to write a number of texts that found their way into his Christianae Veritatis Telum. Jan van Deventer died as provincial minister at Emmerich.

works

Christianae Veritatis Telum seu Fidei Catapulta, in plerosque pseudoprophetas ac populi seductores (Cologne: Melchior von Neuß, 1533). This work, dedicated to Bishop Franciscus von Waldeck, and accessible via the digital collections of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and Google Books, deals with the following topics: De fide, De ecclesia judice, De Eucharistiae veritate et utilitate, De sanctorum veneratione & invocatione, De usu imaginum, De purgatorio, De quibusdam articulis Rothmanni confutatis, De infantium baptismate.

Exegesis absolutissima juxta ac brevissima Evangelicae veritatis, errorumque & mendaciorum quae sunt cum in Confessione Lutherana Caesari Majestati in comitiis Augustensis exhibita tum in ejusdem Apologia, authore R.P. Johanne a Davantria, fratrum minorum regularis observantiae Provinciae Coloniae ministro (Cologne: Melchior Novesianus, 1535/Cologne: Melchior Novesianus, 1537). Accessible via the digital collections of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and via Google Books (creative search, does not always show up). Parts of this work can also be found in: Andreas Fabricius Leodius, Harmonia Confessionis Augustanae, doctrinae evangelicae consensum declarans (Cologne: Maternus Cholinus, 1573 & 1587). The Exegesis, written at the request of Emperor Charles V, was a reaction to an Apologia of Melanchton, which itself had been a reaction to Catholic protests against the Confessio Augustana, which had been presented to Charles V by seven German princes on the Reichstag of Augsburg on 25 June 1530. When both the Confessio Augustana and Melanchton's Apologia were issued in print, whereas the Catholic protests were not, Jan van Deventer penned his own Exegesis to present the Catholic position. The work contains the following themes/chapters: De peccato originis, De justificatione, De una bonorum & malorum ecclesia, De ritibus ecclesiae, An fides sit poenitentiae pars, De integra peccatorum confessione, De satisfactione, De traditionibus, De communione rerum, De invocatione sanctorum, De communione sub una specie, De coelibatu sacerdotum, De discrimine ciborum, De votis monasticis. Cf. De Troeyer (1969), 123 & Schlager, (1909), 243-244.

Other works ascribed to Jan van Deventer, such as an Apologia contra Lutherum and an Apologia contra Anabaptistas are to be identified with the works mentioned above, or with works written by Joannes de Corbach.

Joannes de Fabrica (Jean de Fabrica, d. 1487)

OMConv. French friar. Member of the Aquitaine province and the Toulouse custody. Studied theology at Paris. He received the licence in 1467 (1470?) and the doctorate in 1471 [Paris, BN Lat. 5657a f. 24r & BN Lat 15440 f. 39]. Jean de Fabrica is famous for his treatise on indulgences (and more in particular the theory of a papally issued plenary indulgence for individual souls in purgatory), which he wrote in 1476 on request of cardinal Peraudi, in order to overcome the opposition of the Gallican clergy (who saw the indulgence as a manifestation of unbridled papal power and an infringment on episcopal pastoral authority). The treatise was first published in 1480. Jean’s treatise in several ways resembles the positions taken by his fellow Franciscan Joannes Angeli, though Angeli went even further; reason why his position was condemned by the Sorbonne. Jean de Fabrica’s treatise escaped that fate, and became in fact a useful instrument for preachers of indulgences. The work received at least fifteenth imprints throughout Europe, and in that sense fully fulfilled the expectations of cardinal Peraudi and the (Franciscan) pope Sixtus IV. For some time, Jean de Fabrica allegedly was confessor of Duke Francis II of Brittany and his wife (Margaret of Foix). The friar died in 1487 at Dinan (Brittany), as guardian of the local friary.

Also several undated versions. See on these and for more information concerning the other imprints: Murphy, A History, 205ff.

Joannes de Fano (Giovanni da Fano, d. 1465)

OM. Italian friar from the Marches of Ancona. Baccalaureus Sententiarum in Sept. 1428, licence in theology on 14 March 1434, regent master between 1434 and 1435. [CHUP IV, 478 no. 2314; 550 no. 2427; 555 no. 2436; 574. no 2379; Paris BN Lat. 5657a f. 18r]. Took part in the trial of Joan of Arc (fourth session, february 1431). In 1442, he apparently taught on De Anima at Perugia. In 1444, he became bishop of Nocera Umbria. There is some confusion concerning the attribution of works to this friar and to Joannes Pili de Fano. It seems that the L’Art des’unir à Dieu and the Brevis Discursus super Observantia Paupertatis should be ascribed to the latter and not to the friar Joannes de Fano mentioned here.

Joannes de Fano (Joannes Fanensis/Johannes Pili/Giovanni Pili da Fano, 1469, Fano - 1539, Urbania)

OMObs (1486), OFM later OFMCap (1534), after a long period in which he was a severe criticaster of the Capuchins. During his observant period (OFMObs and OFM after 1517), he became active as preacher against Luther and Lutheranism (from this time, 1532, stem his Opera utilissima vulgare chiamata incendio di zizanie lutherane per li semplici). When the papal bull In suprema was suspended, Pili decided in 1534 to join the Capuchins (like several other more rigorist Observants). As a Capuchin, Pili founded several convents and became formative in moulding the character of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Capuchin spirituality (the second version of the Dialogo set the tone for anew, Capuchin, literature: harking back to the primitive franciscanism of Francis and his spiritual followers, and denouncing ‘superfluous’ learning). Died when preaching during Lent at Cateldurante (Pesaro-Urbino).

A revised version by the author received its first modern edition as well in L'Italia Francescana 10-12 (1935-1938) and separately as a booklet (Isola del Liri, 1935).

Fra Giovanni da Fano (Brescia: Damiano & Jacomo Philippo fratelli, 1536). This ‘rule commentary’, which might be seen as an abbreviation and reworking of the Dialogo de la salute of 1535, and which at many places reaches back to the works of Francis, Bonaventure, Ubertino da Casale, Exiit qui seminat of Nicholas III, Exivi de Paradiso of Clement V, and other Franciscan rigorist rule commentaries (such as the commentaries of the Four Masters, Hugh of Digne, and Pecham) became the manual for the rule Observance and practical religious instruction within the early Capuchin order. After its first Italian edition in 1536, the work received more than 100 editons in various languages, often together with the Rule and Testament of Francis.

See for an English translation now also https://www.capdox.capuchin.org.au/reform-resources-16th-century/writers/the-art-of-union/ [last accessed 7 April, 2022]. A Polish translation was published in 2006: Jan Pili da Fano, Umiejetnosc jednoczenia duszy z Bogiem, trans. Salezy Józef Kafel (Cracow: Wydawnictwo Spes, 2006). [Work produced shortly after 1534, during a meditative retreat after his transfer to the Capuchins. It is, in fact the first printed book from the Capuchin branch. The work offers to lay and religious people alike a method of prayer to arrive at a life of perfect love of God. In the Prologo, ed. Cargnoni, 300, Giovanni announces: ‘…a cioché li devoti e amorosi desideri de pervenire a questa impreciabile unione possino el suo intencto piú facilmente consequire, ho pensato in stilo basso, in lingua materna e vulgare e con iusta brevità, recoglier quello che molti, da Dio illuminati e in questo dignissimo exercizio experti, hanno scripto. E perché bisogna che l’anima sia ben purgata per essere apta a li divini lumi e splendori per posser pervenire a la desideria unione, però pongono tre vie, cioè purgativa, illuminativa e unitiva.’ Following Bonaventure’s De triplici Vita, his Soliloquium, and his De Perfectione Vitae ad Sorores in this triad of purgative, illuminative and unitive ways, as well as elements from Garcia de Cisneros OSB’s Exercitatorio de vida espiritual, Henry of Herp’s Speculum Perfectionis, and the works of Bartolomeo Cordoni and Pietro da Lucca (his more immediate authorities) he enlists daily prayer as a means to arrive at the status in which the soul can obtain an affective union (a spiritual marriage) with God in contemplation (hence, prayer, makes the soul ready to receive the grace of God in contemplation, ‘quod est operatio non hominis sed Dei’): with detailed advice for prayer and additional meditation exercises (replete with advice regarding posture, times of prayer etc.). In the midst of the Arte de la Unione is found a short treatise on the seven sorrows of St. Joseph. Cf. Jean-Joseph Lemire, ‘Jean de Fano et la dévotion aux sept douleurs et sept allégresses de saint Joseph’, Cahiers de Joséphologie 11 (1963), 65-80. The work fits in perfectly with the early Capuchin emphasis on mental prayer and meditation, that we can also trace in the early Capuchin constitutions. Cf. Collectanea Franciscana 3 (1933), 40-66. Strong conviction that the highest level of contemplation in the highest unifying way is not a human activity but a divine one. In that stage, the Holy Spirit fulfils the mystical, loving union with the Divine (also resembles Gilbert of Tournai!)]

Piccolo Catechismo, included at the end of the 1536 edition of the Arte de la unione con Dio, on ff. 96r-98v, giving a basic grid of catechistic teachings on the commandments, the precepts of the Church, the credo, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the sins against the Holy Spirit, the sins of the corporal senses, the practice of penitence with the works of mercy, the seven sacraments and the evangelical beatitudes, as well as the basic prayers necessary for each Christian to know ‘per essere bon cristiano’. Probably also provides insight in Giovanni’s quaresimal teachings. This rudimentary catechistic text has been edited in I fratri cappuccini. Documenti e testimonianze del primo secolo, III/2, ed. Costanzo Cargnoni (Perugia, 1991), 3222-3225.

Joannes de Fonte (Joh. la Fontaine, d. after 1309)

OM. French friar and lector. Known not only for a reportatio of a lecture on the Fourth Book of the Sentences by Vital du Four (on the basis of a Sentences course held by Vital du Four in Montpellier in 1295-1296, which, among other things, would suggests that Joannes de Fonte at that moment was receiving his lectorate education there), but also for his compilation (ca. 1300/1303, when he was mentioned as lector at the Franciscan studium of Montpellier, a position he apparently held until 1309 and beyond) of the famous Conclusiones in IV Libros Sententiarum. The latter work, written on request of John’s(lectorate) students, amounts to careful extract of the Sentences of Lombard (and the Sentences commentary of Bonaventure). It was widely spread in the 14th and 15th century (more than 100 mss, and several editions) and translated in the vernacular (a.o. German). In some cases, the manuscripts of the Conclusiones also contain the Compendium Theologiae of Hugh Ripelin OP. John is also known as the author of the famous Parvi Flores (produced between 1267 and 1325; a florilegium of Aristotle citations, partly based on older compilations and upgraded with citations taken from newly translated works of Aristotle and important Aristotle commentaries). This work was meant both for students in Franciscan custodial schools/and university arts faculties and for preachers in need of philosophical lore. In a way, it provided in the field of philosophy a comparable instrument as his Conclusiones in IV Libros Sententiarum provided in the field of theology. According to Jacqueline Hamesse, the Parvi Flores are the most succesful florilegium of its kind between the late thirteenth and early sixteenth century, surviving in more than 300 mss. It was particularly influential in the German lands, where the work was widely used in the arts faculties (just like his Conclusiones in IV Libros Sententiarum was used in some German theological faculties). During his stay at Montpellier, in the early fourteenth century, John, following the views of Vital du Four, preached publicly against the positions of Olivi and Ubertino da Casale. [Cf. Ehrle, ALKG 2 (1886), 387-388 (remark from Ubertino’s Apologia for the year 1309); Ehrle, ALKG 2 (1886), 159]

Parvi Flores [The prologue in several manuscript versions of the work, which differs from the prologue of the printed version (the Auctoritates Aristotelis) and amounts to an introduction to philosophy and a division of the sciences, probably was not conceived by John de Fonte himself, but borrowed from another friar/lector].

Joannes de Fonte (Juan de la Fuente, ca. 1535-ca. 1600)

OFM. Spanish Observant friar from Toledo. Entered the order in the Burgos province. Fulfilled several guardianships: in the San Antonio friary of Escalona (1570), the Madre de Dios friary at Torrelaguna (1581), and in the Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza friary (Ocaña, 1585). He also was active as lector of theology with a definite mystical bend, and with a penchant for biblical commentaries. Juan should not be confused with the French Franciscan friar Jean de la Fontaine (Joannes de Fonte), who can be traced as lector at the Franciscan studium of Montpellier around 1330 and who compiled a Sentences abbreviation (Conclusiones seu Compendium Quatuor Librorum Sententiarum).
Juan de San Antonio distinguishes two Spanish friars named Juan de la Fuente, both active in the sixteenth century. To the above-mentioned Juan de la Fuente from Toledo, he ascribes the In Sacrosanctum Evangelium Secundum Marcum Libri Quindecim Homiliae, the Super Psalmum Quinquagesimum Homiliae Viginti Sex, the Árbol de la vida, and the De la esperanza y temor que debe tener el cristiano mentioned below. To another friar of the same name, whom he identifies as a Castilian Observant friar, who also was a guardian and would have taught theology in Montpellier, he assignes the Oratio Paraenetica pro Pura et Sincera Praedicatione Evangelii, and a further unknown Sentences commentary.

Joannes de Gaona (Juan de Gaona, 1507-27 September 1560)

OFM. Spanish friar.Born in Alegría de Álava (and not in Burgos?). Entered the Franciscan order at an early age. Studied at Paris under Petrus de Cornibus. Active as a theology lector in the Valladolid convent, to depart for New Spain in 1538. Became professor of grammar, rhetoric and philosophy at the Santa Cruz college of Tlatlelolco, which had been established by bishop Juan de Zumárrraga to create an indigenous Christian elite. Subsequently, Juan de Gaona became guardian, first of the Tlatelolco friary, later of the Cochimilco friary. Also involved with the founding of a friary at Tlanepantla. In 1551/1551, he became the provincial minister of the Santo Evangelio province (Mexico). During his provincialate, he reacted against the ideas of another Franciscan friar, namely Jacobo Daciano, who had argued in his Declamación del pueblo bárbaro that indigenous people should not be excluded from clerical offices. Juan de Gaona, on the other hand, defended the established practice, which denied indigenous people access to the priesthood, in his treatise Antidota quarumdam propositionum. Juan de Gaona died at the San Francisco convent in Mexico on 27 September 1560. According to Mendieta and Juan de San Antonio, he published a number of other works as well. During his teaching period at Tlatlelolco he also had become well-versed in the Mexican languages (commented upon by Mendieta), which shows in his sermons and in various of his theological treatises.

Joannes de Guadelupe (Joannes de Guadalupe/Juan de Guadelupe, 1450-1506)

OMDisc. Spanish friar from Guadelupe (Caceres). Attended the Hieronymite college in his native town and studied theology at the University of Salamanca. After he was ordained priest he joined the Franciscan order, where he soon became active as a reformer. Together with Juan de la Puebla (d. 1495), he took part in the foundation of several convents, among which was the convent of Jarandilla, where Juan de Guadelupe for some time was guardian. Together with his fellow friar Pedro de Bobadilla y Melgar, Juan took action to found a new Franciscan branch. He was able to enlist the support of his Franciscan superiors, as well as the papacy (pope Alexander VI), to start an observantia strictissima under the sway of the Conventual wing in the kingdom of Granada. After protests of the other Observants, this experiment was thwarted. Yet with the help of the Counts of Oropesa, the Duke of Feria, and others, Juan and Pedro soon thereafter were able to establish a range of convents, for which they eventually obtained papal authorisation in 1499. New legal hassles were to follow. He would have died in Rome, while participating in the Franciscan general chapter. His reform statutes, as well as several ascetical and spiritual letters have survived.

Joannes de Hoveden (John of Howden/Johannes Houdemius, fl. ca. 1270) [see also Anonymus Anglicus/Hispanicus]

OM. English friar (?) From the north of England. Spiritual author and poet. For a while also chaplain of Queen Eleanor of Provence. There are serious doubts about the Franciscan identity of Hoveden/Howden, and in the past he also has been identified as a prebendary of the church of Howden in Yorkshire. He is according to some also the author of the Speculum Laicorum, ed. J. Th. Welter (Paris, 1914). [edition available at http://www.mgh-bibliothek.de//etc/dokumente/b070491.pdf ] Yet this ascription seems erroneous. The most correct entry concerning this person, who probably was not a friar, seems to be: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Hoveden,_John_(DNB00)

Juan de San Antonio mentions several manuscripts kept in the Convent Archive of the San Gabriel friary in Segovia, notably a vernacular rendering of Diego de Collado OP's Ars grammaticae Iaponicae lingae: in gratiam et adiutorium eorum, qui praedicandi Euangelij causa ad Iaponiae Regnum se voluerint conferre, a historical account of Japanese events, and a description of the Philippines and an account of missionary activities there. The general archive of the San Paolo province furthermore would have had by his hand a history of the deeds of members of the San Paolo in the new San Gregorio province, a catalogue of martyrs of the San Gregorio province, and a life of friar Antonio de Santa Maria. We have not yet been able to trace the current whereabouts of such texts.

Joannes de Kent (Joannes Cantianus/John of Kent/John Kent/John Gwent, fl. 13th cent.)

OM. Allegedly an English friar from Kent? There is a lot of confusion in older catalogues about the identity of this friar. Wadding and Sbaralea mention Joannes Cantianus as provincial minister of the Saxony province, who also was responsible for the Constitutiones pro Hospitali S. Francisci Pragensis (1238), and later (1248) was papal legate in England. Others identify him with an English canonist, who taught law at the University of Paris in the 1220s, who would have left Paris for Angers in 1229, and continued there to teach law (where he wrote De Casibus Juris and De Rubricis), prior to his conversion to the Franciscan life, and to whom sometimes is ascribed a versified version of Celano's Vita prima S. Francisci. There also was a John of Kent who was lector in Oxford and provincial in the 1340s. We are working on this.

Joannes de Lare (Johannes von Lare/Johann Lor, d. 1481)

OMObs. German Observant friar from the Strasbourg province (provincia argentinensia). Probably born at the beginning of the fifteenth century, he must have joined the order sometime in the 1430s. By 1454, he was guardian of the Ruffach friary. At the provincial chapter of that year, he became commissioner and visitator of the Poor Clares of Alspach. The following year, he was elected provincial vicar by the Observant faction at the chapter of Heidelberg (24 April 1455), as successor of the first Observant provincial vicar Nikolaus Caroli. Johann held the vicariate for seven years, until the chapter of Bamberg (23 May 1462), when he was replaced by Johann Schieber. Yet he was again elected vicar at the next provincial chapter (Ruffach, 4 May 1471). In the mean time, he represented ultramontan Observantine interest for his province in Rome as general commissioner, and he again served for a while as the guardian of the Basel friary. After his additional stint as provincial vicar, Johann was relieved from his office at the Tübingen chapter (8 May 1474), to become again guardian of the Basel friary. He was one last time elected to the position of provincial vicar at the chapter of St. Ulrich (20 April 1480). During this last stint, near the end of his life, he also had to step in as temporary general vicar of the Ultramontan Observants, when the latter (Guilelmus Bertho) died during a visitation journey at Ingolstadt on 6 February 1481. Johann Lor died himself a few months later (26 May 1481), while on his way to the general chapter of the Observant family in Burgundy (at Montluçon). As one would expect, Johann was very much involved with the implementation of the regular Observance. This also included an interest into the reform of Clarissan houses (for instance in Bamberg, Munich and Bressanone (Brixen, which was put under authority of the Observant vicar of the Strasbourg province by Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa). Reform statutes for the Bressanone Poor Clares still survive.

works

Stattuten des wirdigen vatter Johannes von Lor, die er hat geemacht den swestern zu Pryxen darnach die andern: MS Bressannone, Poor Clare Monastery. This manuscript copy has been described by its editor Straganz. It was finished in 1517 by the Poor Clare Anna Nymelperger (Abbess between 1509 and 1511). Aside from the statutes (ff. 32r-68r), the manuscripts also includes a German translation of the 1317 reconfirmation by Cardinal Protector Arnaldo of the decrees issued in 1297 by Cardinal Protector Orsini concerning the Franciscan cura monialium obligations towards the Poor Clares (ff. 68r-85v), as well as a German translation of the papal bull issued by Gregory IX on 25 March 1237 to regulate the enclosure of the Poor Clares in the Viterbo monastery (ff. 85v-86r). The statutes, which might have been partially based on comparable regulations issued for the Nuremberg monastery some years earlier, consist of a short introduction and five chapters, dealing with obedience (‘von der gehorsam’), poverty (‘von der heiligen armut’), purity (‘was zu reinigkeit mag fudern’), the liturgy (‘zu dem gotlichen dienst’), and silence (‘von stillikeit und sweigen’). In actual fact, the five chapter include under these headings quite a number of adjacent topics (how to deal with novices, the role of novice master, the role of work in the communal life, forms of correction/punishment etc.).
The work was edited as: Die ältesten Statuten des Klarissenklosters zu Brixen (Tirol), ed. Max Straganz, in: Franziskanische Studien 6 (1919), 143-170 (text on pp. 151-170).

Joannes de Matrito (Juan de Madrid, fl. later 17th cent.)

OFMDisc. Spanish friar. Member of the Sint Joseph province. Missionary in the Philippines and Japan. Is this the same Juan de Madrid to whom Juan de San Antonio and Sbaralea ascribe an Oración panegírica fúnebre en obsequio del Rey N. S. D. Phelipe IV (Madrid: Joseph Fernández de Buendía, 1666), and a eulogic sermon on Saint Eligius (supposedly issued in Madrid: Joseph Fernández de Buendía, 1659)? Juan de San Antonio distinguishes also another Juan de Madrid, likewise an OFMDisc from the Sint Joseph province, and a theologian, known for a Oración fúnebre a las honras y pompa funeral de Don Baltasar Carlos de Austria (1647), whereas Sbaralea, assigns this to the same friar as the other works. We have not yet been able to trace these works and we are not yet sure about their identification (to one and the same, two, or three friars).

Joannes de Mendoza (Juan de Mendoza, d. 1619)

OFM. Colombian or Mexican friar. There is confusion about his origin. Vázquez makes him a native of Mexico, but Adams suggests he was born at Medellín. Following Sánchez, he came to Guatemala as a young merchant, and took the Franciscan habit there in 1564, in the San Francisco de Guatemala friary. Thereafter he would have been sent back to Mexico for his studies. After his return to Guatemala, he studied and taught indigenous languages. He was apparently well-versed in three or four of them, and wrote books and treatises in each of these. None of these books reached the printing press. He died at the age of c. 80.

Joannes de Minden (de Gemunda/Johannes von Minden, d. 1413)

OM. German friar. Member of the Bremen custody. Entered the order in Lüneburg, and studied at Erfurt, becoming lector principalis there before 1395 and doctor in 1395/6. Therewith first Franciscan Magister regens of the Erfurt Studium generale, after the association of the Franciscan study house in the University of Erfurt (1392). One of his pupils was Christian von Hiddesdorf. After his year as magister regens, Johannes elected provincial minister of the Saxony province. His successor at the Erfurt chair was probably Johannes bon Belgern (Belliger), who also had obtained the magisterium theologiae in Erfyrt. Belgern, in turn was succeeded at the chair of Erfurt by Christian von Hiddesdorf (keeping that position for 20 years). Johannes von Minden remained provincial minister until 1405/6, as the 24th provincial minister of the Saxony province. Thereafter back in the Lüneburg convent. Died on 20 June, 1413. In his many sermons (for sun-and feast days, and Lenten sermons), John appears as a well-educated theologian, particularly well-versed in the works of Bonaventure. L. Meier and V. Honemann remark that, aside from Bonaventure, John also repeatedly quotes Robert Grosseteste, Roger Bacon, John Peckham (which might point to connections between Erfurt and the English schools), as well as Bernard of Clairvaux, Augustine, Athanasius, Cassiodor, Gregory the Great, Pseudo Dionysius, Thomas Aquinas, and various pagan classical authors (Aristotle, Seneca, Cato, Avicenna). His sermons were much appreciated during the fifteenth century. The Postilla super Epistolas Dominicales collection has the nature of a model sermons for fellow friars/students in a school setting. Several of his other collections, such as the Sermones super Evangelia Dominicalia Quadragesimae and the Quadragesimale (surviving in Lüneburg mss) date from his later career.

OFMCap. Italian friar. Entered the order in Monte di Torino after completing his law studies, entering the noviciate on 5 March 1605 in the Alessandria friary. Was lector of philosophy at Turin (1613-1616), and subsequently guardian and lector at Cuneo (1616-1619).

Between 1626-1631, he accompanied the minister general of the Capuchin order as socius and counsellor, and in 1633, he as appointed definitor general of the Capuchin order. John was repeatedly used for ambassadorial functions by the order and the curia, and on 29 May 1637, he was elected minister general. During his generalate, he was an active visitator of Capuchin order provinces. He promoted the lecture of disciplinary works [cf. his propagation of the use of Zaccaria Boverio’s Annales], and he published various letters and treatises to support a stricter Observance, as well as works on ecclesiastical magement, and he was involved with the initiative to create the first Capuchin atlas ( the so-called Chorographica Descriptio (Rome, 1643), a geographical and statistical guide of the Capuchin order that was repeatedly updated in times to come). On May 22, 1643, he retired to the Piemonte province, where he became the counsellor of the Duke of Savoie. In 1650, he once more was appointed difinitor general of the order.

OM. Italian friar from Corvino and Patriarch/Archbishop of Beijing. Prior to his entry into the order active as a soldier, medical doctor and judge. As a friar, he made his first journey to Persia and Armenia between 1280 and 1289. Then, in 1289, the Pope sent him as a legate and for mission purposes to the realms of Armenia, Georgia, and the Mongol Empire. He traveled via Armenia, Persia and India to Khanbaliq (Beijing) in China, and there he remained activa as a missionary for the remainder of his life, also to create an ecclesiastical infrastructure, obtaining from the Pope the status of Archbishop. In this period he also would have translated the New Testament in the Mongolian tongue. His missionary activities and his death are described in the chronicle of Joannes Marignolla. During his journeys, Giovanni da Montecorvino wrote a number of letters to his ecclesiastical superiors. Three of these have survived. One was written in India around 1292-1293, the others were written in China and date from ca. 1305. They have been edited repeatedly.

Joannes de Montibus (Jean de Mons/Jean de Mans, d. after 1273)

OM. French friar; probably from Cambrai. Was involved in the peace settlement between the friars minor and the Cambrai chapter of Notre Dame (27-10, 1266: a settlement ratified by Bonaventure and other order officials. Cf. AFH 7 (1914), 251-254). John was confessor of Isabella of France, and repeatedly also of king Louis IX of France. As intimus of the French king, John travelled with Louis IX to Northern Africa and was at the death bed of the king near Tunis (25-08, 1270). He was among the delegation that brought news of the King's death and last wishes back to France. After 1270, John made his rounds as a preacher in and near Paris. At least four of his sermons have survived (dating from 1272-1273), due to the reportationes made by Raoul de Châteauroux.

Joannes de Murro (Joannes Minus de Murrovalle/Joannes Minius/Giovanni Minio da Morrovalle, d. 1312)

OM. Italian Franciscan friar. Born around 1250 in Morrovalle (Macerata, Marche), and joined the order the in Marche province. Provincial minister of the Marches Province in the 1270s [correct? rather young]. Bacc. Sent. in Paris in 1283, and in 1284 one of the examinators of the works of Olivi. 1289 Magister of theology in Paris, and apparently the same year lector at the Curia in Rome and in 1291 lector at the Sacro Palatio. Minister general between 1296 and 1304 (elected at Anagni on May 16, 1296. As minister general he commissioned Giotto to make the murals on the San Francesco basilica in Assisi, and he acted, together with Niccolò Bocassini, master general of the Dominicans (later Pope Benedict XI), as papal legate to mediate peace between France, England and the County of Flanders. Cardinal since 1302 (cardinal bishop of Porto e Santa Rufina), taking place in the conclaves of 1303 (electing Benedict XI) and 1304-5 (electing Clement V), Cardinal Protector of the Franciscan order after September 1307, and participating in the council of Vienne (1311-1312, defending the memory of Boniface VIII against the French party). He died in August 1312 in Avignon, and was buried in the Franciscan church of that city. Author of a commentary on Daniel, disputed questions, Sermones in Sollemnioribus Festivitatibus (no mss surviving?) and an Epistola Encyclica de Reformatione Antiqui Kalendarii.. Ephrem Longpré claimed to have discovered John's Sentences commentary in a Parisian manuscript (BN lat. 16047). This was disputed by O. Lottin and P. Glorieux. Eventually, Louis-Jacques Bataillon defined this as an autograph manuscript of the secular theologian Pierre de Limoges.

works

Sermones in Solemnioribus Festivitatibus Habiti:? [Fabricius, IV, 104]

Quaestiones disputatae (12 questions): MS Paris, BNF Lat. 15865 ff. 1-15. Three of these are edited in Ephrem Longpré, ‘L’oeuvre scolastique du cardinal Jean de Murro, O.F.M. (d. 1312)’, in: Mélanges Auguste Pelzer (Louvain , 1947), 467-492.

Questiones Quodlibetales: MS Paris, BN lat. 15858 qq. 42-48 (ff. 21va-24ra). These questions are attributed to John of Murro by Palémon Glorieux. Sylvain Piron is not completely convinced, but suggests that they are possibly the work of the Franciscan master Giovanni di Pershore. See the Studies of Glorieux (1928) and Piron (2007), esp. 341-2.

Quaestiones (11 other questions): MS Florence, Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana, fondo Conv. Soppr. 123, ff. 85ra-87r. Possibly disputed questions and not question fragments from the lost In III Sent., as once thought by Doucet (AFH 47 (1954), 136-139 and AFH 50 (1957), 285. See also Stegmüller, RS, 496a. This manuscript is further described in: Aegidii Romani Opera Omnia, I: Catalogo dei manoscritti (96-151), 1/2* Italia (Firenze, Padova, Venezia), ed. Francesco Punta & Concetta Luna (Florence: Olschki, 1989), 50-69. According to Sylvain Piron these questions disputed by Giovanni while active at the papal curia.

With thanks to Frans A. van Liere, who mentioned this to us.

We should not attribute to him the anonymous Sentences commentary kept in MS Paris, BNF Lat. 16407, ascribed to him by Longpré, but not by any later specialist. The discussions in this text on Free Will seem to pertain to the 1260s rather than to the 1290s.

Joannes de Parma (Joannes Borellus/Giovanni Buralli da Parma, ca. 1208, Parma - 1289,Camerino) beatus, feast 20 March

OM. Italian friar. Master of logic before his entrance in the order in 1233. Studied theology and read the Sentences in Paris. Was lector in Bologna and in Naples. Present at the council of Lyons in 1245. Was minister general between 1247 -1257. Legate for pope Innocent IV to Constantinople to arrange a union with the Orthodox church (1249), on request of the Byzantine emperor John III Doukas Vatatzès. This mission was not very successful [see work of Franchi]. Worked with Humbert of Romans OP to end the antagonism between the two orders and to strengthen their position over against the criticism of the secular clergy. Tried to mitigate the use of papal privileges, and took important steps to reform Franciscan liturgy (production of a ceremoniale to uniform the recitation of the divine office and the celebration of Mass throughout the order. These Ordinationes Divini Officii were approved on the general chapter of Rome (1257. Cf. AFH 3 (1910), 64-81). Was more or less force to resign because of the scandal concerning Gerard of Borgo San Donnino's joachimistic works. After a period of confinement, he worked as missionary and legate in Greece (in 1288/89), commissioned by pope Alexander IV. John of Parma is one of the heroes in the chronicle of Salimbene [MGH Scriptores XXXII, 21, 294-313, 320-322, 550-553, 718], as well as in the Historia Septem Tribulationum of Angelo Clareno, and in the writings of later Spirituals.

Joannes de Parma (II) (Joannes Genesius Quaglia/Joannes Quaia de Parma/Giovanni Genesio Quaglia, d. c. 1398)

OM. Italian friar from Parma. Entered the Franciscan order at an early age (Bologna province). Was sent to England for his lectorate course. Thereafter further studies. By 7 March 1373, he was already bachelor of theology and had taught at various studia generalia of the order (at Bologna in 1367). In 1373, he was appointed at the Franciscan studium of Pisa. Pope Gregory IX therefore asked the bishop of Bologna to have John finish his Sentences lectures pro gradu and subject him to the examinations that would lead to his magisterium, so that he could obtain his licence (BF VI, 499 n. 499; BF VI, no. 1253 indicates that John was made magister bullatus on 7 March 1373. Yet, a magister Joannes de Parma, ord. minorum figures among the examinators of the Franciscan friar Jacques Cortesio). After John thus had become master of theology in 1373 (or shortly thereafter) and had fulfilled his lectorate obligations at the Pisa studium, he became professor of theology at the theology faculty of Bologna (where he examined candidates for the magisterium and the licence on 8 February 1375 and 8 June 1383). Thereafter, he returned to Pisa. The exact date of his death is unknown. He was a fairly productive author, both of academic biblical works and of works that had a more moral/catechetical/homiletic character (On the basis of his Proverbia, he might be called a ‘Christian humanist’ in the same class as John of Wales).

Lat. 5057 [cf. also the study of Pergamo. In a preface, the work was dedicated to Benedicto de Gambacurtis (Benedetto de Gambacorta, potestà of Pisa. The work itself starts with the following incipit: ‘Fundamenta ejus in montibus sanctis, ait ille David prophetarum eximius atque totius populis Dei rex illustrissimus mente perscrutans de beatissima Jerusalem civitate superna, ps. LXXXVI’ The expl.runs as follows: ‘Et sic ibunt in vitam eternam ad quam per portas hujus sanctae civitatis Christi nos introducere dignetur inclitus dux et capitaneus Dominus noster Jesus Christus qui vivit et regnat per omnia secula seculorum. Amen.’It amounts to a description of the heavenly Jerusalem and its twelve gates (each of which is guarded by an apostle). John speaks about the ways to get to these gates and the necessary means for the soul to arrive at its proper destination.]
The work received several sixteenth-century imprints: De Civitate Christi (Reggio Emilia, 1501/Rome, 1523) [two copies of the 1501 edition are still present in the Biblioteca Comunale of Reggio. Cf. Piana, Chartularium Studii Bononiensis (Quaracchi, 1970), 33.]; De Civitate Dei (Rome, 1523).

Amen.’ The work was apparently written on the request of several people in need of a guide to live saintly. John Quaglia deals with different conditions under which people live and how they nevertheless can aspire for evangelical perfection. The work is divided in four parts (respectively divided in 14, 13, 12, and 12 chapters). After a part dealing with the various conditions in which man can find himself, Quaglia deals with man in the condition of sin, man in a state of virtue, and man in state of blessedness and glory. As Quaglia makes clear, he has called the work a Rosarium, as to gather from the works of philosophers and poets the smelling roses, which are threathened to be extinguished in between the spines of errors and sins. John wrote this work on request of several people, who liked to have a guide to live a saintly life. Cf. the study of Ubald d’Alençon (1904)]

Joannes de Pineda (Juan Piñeda/Juan de Pineda, 1513?-1593/9?)

OFM. Spanish friar, known for his literary prowess in the Castilian vernacular. Born in Medina del Campo or in Madrigal de las Altas Torres. He studied the liberal arts in a Franciscan school setting in Arévalo and then moved on to the University of Salamanca, where he graduated as bachelor of theology in 1540. Entered the order in the Salamanca San Francisco friary (Santiago province) in 1544. Was ordained priest and embarked on an ambulatory preaching career in Castille. Due to problems with fellow friars and superiors, he gave up his preaching and began to write. Yet this brought him to the attention of the Inquisition. He more or less retreated to the more contemplative Concepción province, in the San francisco de Valladolid friary. Later, his problems with superiors and inquisition apparently abated sufficiently for him to work in Salamanca and Saragossa, places that facilitated the publication of his works.

Joannes de Romano (Giovanni Belotti da Romano, d. 1685/1692?)

OFMCap. Italian friar and Franciscan missionary in Congo and Angola. Born at Romano (Lombardy). Entered the Capuchin order in the Brescia province early in life. In 1671, he travelled as a missionary to Congo (where the Capuchins had been active since 1621). After an illness, he travelled to Brazil. After his return to Italy in 1680, he wrote two works on missions in Africa (esp. Congo and Angola), which remained unpublished. He also composed a range of letters devoted to missionary issues, several of which are published in the Archives Congolaises (Brussels, 1919), 91-103. On 20 July 1682, he was appointed prefect for the missions in Angola (Luanda), and returned to Africa. He died in his mission in 1685 (or on his way back to Europe in February 1692?).

Joannes de Rupescissa (Jean de Rocquetaillade, ca. 1310 - after 1365)

OM. French friar from Marcolès (Cantal), near Aurillac (Auvergne; cf. Liber Ostensor, MS Vat.Ross 753 f. 148v). Entered the Franciscan order in 1332 after five years of study at the University of Toulouse (studying liberal arts/philosophy, and devoting himself to alchemy, which resulted in his Liber de quinta essentia). Continued his studies (esp. theology) after his entry in the order in the sub-provincial school network (predominantly at theToulouse studium). Around 1335, when he had a dream (in which he was transported to China and saw the Antichrist in the disguise of a child in the neighbourhood of Zayton. Some elements of this dream seemed to be confirmed thereafter in a meeting between Jean de Rocquetaillade and the Franciscan bishop of Zayton, who happened to be in France at the time), Jean became convinced of his own visionary qualities. Between 1340 and 1344 he was living in the Aurillac convent, where he began to propagate his visions on the approach of Antichrist, annoying his guardian and the provincial Guillaume Farinier. The latter ordered Jean’s imprisonment in the Figeac convent (December 1344) for his radical ideas about Franciscan poverty and his eschatological visions, which went hand in hand with attacks on the Avignon Papacy. Was kept in confinement in several convents of the Aquitaine province (Figeac, Martel, Brive, Donzenac, Limoges, and Saint-Junien (where he was granted more liberty)). After his transfer to Toulouse, he received a sympathetic hearing by the inquisition (the Dominican inquisitor Jean de La Molineyrie could not find any heretical tendency), yet his own Aquitaine provincial minister, Guillaume Farinier, made sure that he was again imprisoned, first in Toulouse, and then in the convent of Rieux. Around this time, Jean suffered a fracture in his leg, which was not well treated, as well as other severe illnesses. Nevertheless, Jean survived the plague epidemic of 1348. The new provincial minister of Aquitaine, Raoul de Cornac, ordered Jean’ stransfer to Castres (August 1349). Yet the friars responsible for his transfer brought him to Avignon, so that Jean could defend himself before the pope. Jean arrived in Avignon on August 17, 1349. His process started in October of that year. An uncompromising Jean accused the pope and the college of cardinals of simonist practises. During the process, Jean was kept in the papal prison (the Soudan, reserved for religious people), sharing a cell with the lunatic and sadist English cleric Simon Legat (episodes of which are described in the Liber Ostensor). Jean stayed for several years in the papal prison, where he was able to write, to receive visitors, and sometimes was questioned further by cardinals and other officials, yet also suffered from bad treatment. Some of the cardinals, notably the French cardinal-protector of the Franciscan order, Elias de Talleyrand-Périgord, took some interest in him, which lead to an amelioration of his conditions. In 1354, another process concerning Jean’s orthodoxy was started, lead by the Cistercian cardinal Guillaume Court. As no heretical views could be detected, Jean finally was released from prison on 9 November 1356 (a liberation ‘shown’ to Jean by the Virgin Mary in a vision on 9 May 1356). After his release from prison, Jean was kept in some kind of confinement in Avignon, until, by 1360, pope Innocent VI apparently transfered Jean to the castle of Brignoles (the castle of the Orsini family at Bagnoles? Cf. Bignami-Odier (1981), 83 n. 57), where he again was confined but would have received better treatment (cf. remarks of the chroniclers Jean le Bel and Froissart). Accounts of the apostolic chamber show that, between June and December 1365, Jean received several donations. By then, Jean had fallen ill, and was hospitalised in the convent of the friars minor at Avignon. Thereafter he disappears from view. Both inside and outside his cell, he wrote many alchemical and prophetical writings, heavily influenced by Joachimist ideas (as well as by prophetical traditions inspired by the Vaticinaria, the writings of Hildegard, Peter John Olivi, Arnold of Villanova, Robert d’Uzès etc.). In all, he probably composed more that 30 works. More or less a third of these have survived until this day (for the ‘lost’ works, see the studies Bignami-Odier). His prophecies had a great influence on late medieval and early modern Latin and vernacular prophetical traditions throughout Europe.

See for early modern edition: Vade Mecum in Tribulatione, edited in E. Brown, Fasciculus Rerum Expetendarum et Fugiendarum II (London, 1690), 493-508 [Latin text]. The Catelan text found in the Carpentras MS has been edited in: M. Aurell, ‘La fin du monde, l’enfer et le roi’, Revue Mabillon n.s. 5 (1994), 143-177. Two new editions of the work have apeared as well, based on different editorial and philological principles: Vade mecum in tribulatione, ed. Robert Earl Lerner, Gian Luca Potestà & Elena Tealdi, Dies Nova: Fonti e studi per la storia del profetismo (Milan: Vita e Pensiero, 2015) [Review CF 87:1-2 (2017), 352-354.

A Late Medieval Eschatological Manual for the Forthcoming Thirteen Years of Horror and Hardship, ed. Matthias Kaup, Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West (London-New York: Routledge, 2017). The latter edition has much info to import on the different versions of the text that have survived, and produces editions of the three main versions including an English translation. A revised edition of the Lerner etc. was issued as Vade mecum in tribulatione, ed. Robert Earl Lerner & Pavlína Rychterová, Dies nova, 4 (Milan, 2019) [an important re-issue of the 2015 edition, with translations by Pavlína Cermanová, Viorica Codita, Marleen Cré, Barbara Ferrari, Robert E. Lerner, Alberto Montaner Frutos, Antonio Montefusco, Marco Pedretti, Carola Redzich, Pavlína Rychterová, Rosa Vidal Doval, and Sophie Zimmermann].

Verba fratris Johannis de Rupescissa: MSS Cambridge, Corpus Christi College Parker Library 138; Paris, BNF lat. 16021. This work has been included in editions pf the Liber Ostensor, and sometimes is seen as an extract of either Vade mecum in tribulatione or/and Liber Ostensor. For a re-evaluation of the nature of this text, see: Robert E. Lerner, 'Yet Another Work by John of Rupescissa', Oliviana 5 (2016) [https://journals.openedition.org/oliviana/825 ]

Litterae/Epistolae. Several letters survive, one to the archbishop of Toulouse, one to the cardinal of Ostia, one to cardinal Talleyrand-Périgord, and the letter known as the Apologie des Oiseaux [See there]. This Apologie would have a large afterlife, not in the least because it was used by Wyclif in the 1370s (cf. Wyclif’s De Civili Dominio).
Two letters by Jean have been edited in an appendix in E. Brown, Fasciculus Rerum Expetendarum et Fugiendarum II (London, 1690). A third letter has been edited by Matthias Kaup?

Apologie des Oiseaux. The text is incorporated in: Froissart, Chroniques, ed. L. Mirot (Paris, 1931) 3rd. Book, Vol. XII (ad. an. 1356-1388), 228-232, and reproduced in Bignami-Odier (1981), 177-179.

Sexdequiloquium, included in the so-calld “Lorain Manuscript”, MS Private Collection, ff. 1-257. This text was found several years ago in a village farm house near Nancy and brought to the attention of Franciscan scholars early 2008. It is the first text in a substantial manuscript, dating from the middle or the later 15th century. The Sexdequiloquium was meant to be the first book of a larger De lumine luminum fidei christiane. The Sexdequiloquium dates from 1352/53, and seems to have been written while Rupescissa was imprisoned in Avignon. As is, it is a reply divided in sixteen parts to the verdict given by Francis of Meyronnes on passages from the Apocalypse commentary by Petrus Joannis Olivi in the context of the last phase of the process against Olivi's work in 1325. The work mentions various works by Joannes de Rupescissa that have not yet been found, such as the Defensorium immaculate virginis ecclesie contra malignantium ecclesiam babilonicam meretricem; the letter Declaracio papalis monarchie; Directorium simplicium electorum; Liber coadiutorium veritatis; Quadrigentiloquium Christi adversus iudeos (an exegetical 'proof' of the Trinity and the Advent of Christ in the text of the Old testament [relationship with the famous quodlibet by Nicholas of Lyra?]. For a detailed study of this newly found work, see the works of Piron (2009), Muzerelle (2009), Mesler (2009) and Lerner (2009) in the third volume of the electronic journal Oliviana: https://journals.openedition.org/oliviana/322.

In 1729, he was made general chronicler of the order. Between 1731 and 1734 he was custos and between 1734 and 1737 order provincial. Although he reputedly was in bad health and suffered from severe bouts of rhumatism, he was rather active as order administrator and kept up a large output of historical and bibliographical works until his death on 7 February 1744. Most well-known for his Bibliotheca Universa Franciscana, which mentions at least 5728 Franciscan authors, and for which he visited many libraries in Italy, Portugal and Spain.

Joannes de Sancto Athanasio (Joaõ de San Athanasio, 1659-1711)

OFM. Portuguese friar and missionary. Born in Coïmbra. Departed for Brazil as Franciscan missionary and eventually ended up as president and procurator of the Franciscan mission in the St. Anthony province. He died on 3 March 1711. He Wrote several theological and missionary works, such as the Roteiro moral para missionários and the Roteiro doctrinal. These works were lost in 1834, due to the suppression of the religious orders by the Portuguese government. One of Juan’s letters still survives. This letter, dating from 1698, develops interesting concrete missionary perspectives.

Joannes de Sancta Maria (Juan de Santa María Alonso y Valeria/Gaspar Alonso de Valeria/Juan Muñoz de Valeria?, 1642-1701)

OFMDisc. Spanish friar. Came from a wealthy family. Entered the strict Alcantarine branch of the Franciscans in Naples in 1669, after some spectacular public displays of piety. Fulfilled a range of administrative functions within the Alcantarine branch of the order (In the kingdom of Naples and Spain; also active as ambassador for the Spanish king (a.o. in Vienna), and as representative of the Holy See. Was appointed bishop of Lerida in 1700. Rather rigid in his reformist views, his activities as order administrator caused some opposition from within. Well-known for his propagation of the writings of Miguel de Molinos and Franciscan quietism, currents that were under suspicion of heresy (apparently without severe consequences for Juan’s reputation of orthodoxy). A range of his works have survived, many of which pertain to the administration of the order and his ambasadorial activities.

Joannes de Sancto Laurentio (Joannes Coloniensis/Johannes von Köln, fl. ca. 1350 and after?)

OM. German Franciscan friar from Cologne, named 'Johannis de parochia sancti Laurentii in Colonia ordinis fratrum Minorum by the Franciscan scribe Hermann Doering (see under manuscripts). The name Joannes de Sancto Laurentio/Laurentius Minorita Coloniensis/Joannes Coloniensis also appears in other manuscripts and incunables. The identity of Joannes de Sancto Laurentio/Johannes von Köln is uncertain. A number of friars with the name Johannes of Köln/Joannis Coloniensis have left works behind (see also under Joannes Colonienis and Joannes Bloemendal), and it is not at all clear whether some of these names belonged to different persons. After reading Annette Löffler's 2007 essay, I am inclined not to identify Joannes de Sancto Laurentio with any of the other friars known as Joannes Coloniensis/Johann von Köln (including Joannes Bloemendal), but to see him as a different author, in all likelyhood active during the second half of the fourteenth century, and possibly already in the order when Bertrand de Turre and Nicholas of Lyra were still alive. The Leipzig manuscript studied by Löffer and that contain the Postilla Evangeliorum was once in the possession of the Franciscan theologian and book collector Joannes Rothaw. Specific characteristics of that particular manuscript would indicate that it was also envisaged to be used (probably by Rothaw or by the scribee Hermann Doering) in school disputations.

works

Postilla Evangeliorum: MS Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek 684 (an. 1455). This manuscript was once in the possession of Joannes Rothaw. The second half of the manuscript was copied by Hermann Doering, possibly a friar in the Cologne friary, who names Joannes de Sancto Laurentio as the author of the sermons; Cologne, Gymnasialbibliothek Folio 174 (an. 1414). ascribed in the 1993 study by Vennebusch as the work of Laurentius Minorita Coloniensis [what about Archiv der Stadt Köln, Best. 7002 (Altsignatur Handschriften GB fol. 174?]; Utrecht, Universiteitsbibliothek 356 (2nd half 15th cent.); Liège, Bibliothèue du Grand Séminaire 6 H 7 (without ascription). A set of Postilla super Evangelia ascribed to Joannes de Sancto Laurentio has also survived in MS Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Theol. lat. fol. 696 ff. 193r-206v. This partial fragment, copied in or shortly after 1458, has the following title: 'Postille super ewangelia dominicalia totius anni edite per reverendum fratrem Johannem de sancto Laurentio ordinis fratrum Minorum oriundum de Colonia'. Annette Löffler has established that this collection does not have the same sermons as the Leipzig manuscript, and either is a text witness of a second collection by Joannes de Sancto Laurentio or a collection by one of the other friars also known as John of Cologne/John of Bloemendal. Another fragment of Postillas Evangeliorum and a text De Passione Domini ascribed to Joannes de Sancto Laurentio/Joannes Coloniensis? is found in Bibliotheca Jagellonica Cracoviae, MS MS 1563, ff. 120r-151v [cf. Catalogus codicum manuscriptorum Medii Aevi Latinorum qui in Bibliotheca Jagellonica Cracoviae asservantur. Volumen XI numeros continens inde a 1501 usque ad 1575, ed. Anna Kozlowska (Cracow: Bibliotheca Jagellonica-Officina editoria Ksiegamia Akademicka, 2016).] The collection surviving in the Leipzig, Cologne, Utrecht (?) and Liège (?) manuscripts is clearly a compilation. Löffler (2007), 317 quotes MS Leipzig UB 684, f. 1ra: 'Ignorantie proprie subvenire cupiens ac aliorum simplicium predicatorum commodo et utilitati intendens has evangeliorum dominicalium ferialium et quorundam festinalium postillationes ex diversorum doctorum scriptis studiosius compilavi.' These doctors are Bertrand de Turre/Bertrand de la Tour, Nicholas of Lyra, Alexander of hales and possibly Nicholas of Gorra OP. Löffler concludes that the author possibly compiled the work sometime during the second half of the fourteenth century. Based on the author/compilor's 'intimate' way of addressing Nicholas of Lyra and Bertrand de Turre/Bertrand de la Tour, Löffler suggests that the author/compilor might have known them personally. That would mean he was already in the order during the 1340s. With the exception of one sermon by Bertrand, most sermons taken from the four main sources are reworked rather thoroughly.
An early incunable imprint appeared as: Postilla Evangeliorum (Brussels: Apud Fratres Vitae Communis, 1480). Present for instance in the Bibliothèque Mazarine, Paris. The relationship betwween this and subsequent incunables and the manuscript version of the Postilla is uncertain. See on this the remarks by Löffler (2007), 315.

Joannes de Serravalle (Joanes de Bertoldis/Giovanni dei Bertholdi, ca. 1350-1445)

OMConv. Sammarinese friar from Serravalle near San Marino. He studied with local Franciscan friars at San Marino and joined the order there. Further theological studies at Pavia and at Bologna, where he might have followed Benvenuto da Imola's lectures on Dante's Commedia (1374-76). In 1390, be became lector of the Sentences of Peter Lombard at the gymnasium of the apostolic palace in Rome at the invitation of Boniface IX. In 1393, he moved to Florence, where he taught theology at the Santa Croce studium. Four years later, in 1397, he made a journey to the Holy Land, and between 1400-1401, he acted as Perugia's ambassador in Foligno and Spoleto. Following the death of lector Grazia de'Castellani, Giovanni returned to Florence as Lenten preacher and as lector of theology. By 1405, he was elected provincial minister for the Marches and this was followed with a comparable appointment in Romagna. He was appointed bishop of Fermo by Pope Gregory XII, around 1410. On 15 Dec 1417, he was appointed Bishop of Fano during the papacy of Pope Martin V. He died as as Bishop of Fano on 15 Feb 1445. As pupil of the most important Dante commentator of the 14th century, Benvenuto da Imola, he was asked at the council of Konstanz (1414-1418), where he later gave an appreciated oration on church reform on 18 June 1416 (entitled 'Caro mea vere est cibus'), to translate the Comedia of Dante into Latin. He apparently finished this within six months (January 1416) during a long recess at the council. His commentary is predominantly moral and religious, without exploring the historical allusions.

Joannes de Silva (Joannes de Sylva/Juan da Silva, fl. c. later 16th and early 17th cent.)

OFM. Spanish friar from the Castile province. First soldier in service of Spain and active in military campaigns against the Turks. He also served in the army of the Duke of Alva during his military campaigns in the Netherlands in the late 1560s and early 1570s. In addition, he took part in the doomed Spanish Armada. When he joined the order, he became active in New Spain and Florida (1590s), and from Florida, he sent a special report to the Spanish King on January 9, 1596. Later, he was keen to make the Austral lands of the South Seas a Franciscan mission territory. Juan de Silva is known for his Memoriales/Advertencias Importantes from 1613 and 1621 to the Spanish crown related to his missionary plans and endeavors. One of his ideas was to establish a Franciscan missionary college in Lima.

works

Memoriales informativos, tocantes al bien espiritual y temporal de todos los Regnos de las Indias (Madrid, 1613). See Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, 2/51255
A lengthy study and at least a partial modern edition of the 1613 Memoriales and the 1621 Advertencias importantes is provided in: Paulino Castañeda Delgado, Los memoriales del Padre Silva sobre predicación pacífica y repartimientos (Madrid: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas Istituto 'Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo', 1983).

Advertencias importantes, acerca del buen Govierno, y Administracion de las Indias, assi en lo espiritual, como en lo temporal (Madrid: Viuda Fernando Correa, 1621). This contains three memorials, the first two of which are revised versions of those issued in 1613. The third memorial in this edition (ff. 52-110v) contains info and plans concerning the Austral lands. These memorials were printed after examination of the Council of the Indies. According of Celsus Kelly, p. 282-283: 'In general the three memorials dealt with methods and practices already in use or to be adopted in the future regarding exploration, conquests, the propagation of the faith, etc. The First Memorial (ff. 5-36) insists that the only way to preach the Gospel was that adopted by Christ and the Apostles and denounces as iniquitous the two methods used by the conquistadores, namely, either by the sword preparing the way for the Gospel, or (as is also now the practice) the sword accompanying or coming after the Gospel (f. 10v). The Second Memorial (ff. 36v-52) deals with the laws and practice regarding repartimiento and servicio personal, with its accompanying evils and abuses so contrary to the divine and natural laws. He urges the king to root out from every part of his realms at once both systems which are nothing but "most scandalous and unexampled coercion and tyrannical persecution." The Third Memorial (f. 52-110v) treats of the title justifying Spanish rights in the Indies and declares that it is primarily and principally spiritual; it restates the principle enunciated in the two previous memorials and emphasizes that the Gospel should be preached apostolically, i.e. with kindness and suavity, without arms, escorts of soldiers, without any kind of force or compulsion (f. 54v). Silva singles out for special condemnation the evils of la mita in the mines of Potosí and Huancavélica. In this memorial also Silva deals not only with the Franciscan plan to send missionaries to the Austral Realms and Provinces but also with its riches. He held as certain that the fleets of Solomon laden with gold and silver and other great riches were from these Austral Provinces and that the Queen of the South (Austria) who came from the ends of the earth to see Solomon was also from these Austral Lands.'

The work of Sommerfeld is predominantly an abbreviation of the Psalm commentary of Peter Lombard and the Glossa Ordinaria, and presents a very streamlined and consistent christological exegesis of the Psalms. Sommerfeld was also responsible for the production of a catalogue for the library of the Görlitz friary (in 1348, see Meyer, ‘Psalterium Glossatum’, 326; Honemann (2004/2008).

Wrote for King Philip III of Spain a vernacular reflection on Psalm 8 and 26 meditations on the immaculate conception. Also wrote a large number of religious songs and other psalm commentaries/reflections, as well as a sololoqui on his own religious conversion and a description/history of the San Miguel friary in Priego de Cuenca. All these works, written in the vernacular, would once have been kept in the library of the latter friary. We are not informed about their current whereabouts (as that friary was partially destroyed in 1770).

Joannes de Torquemada (Joannes a Turrecremata/Juan de Torquemada, c. 1564-1624)

OFM. Spanish friar. Member of the Santo Evangelio province (Mexico). Historian. probably born in Torquemada (Palencia). Traveled at a very young age to Mexico, where, after studies in philosophy, theology, and Nahuatl, he took the habit in the San Francisco friary of Mexico in 1579. Fulfilled several teaching and administrative positions in the Santo Evangelio province (including various guardianships of friaries in Zacatlán and overseer of the construction of the monastery and church of Santiago Tlaltelolco), to end up as provincial minister in 1614 (until 1617). He died in 1624 in Tlaltelolco while singing mass in the friary church, and was buried in Mexico City. Friend, disciple and collaborator of Juan Bautista Viseo, he is known as the author of the famous, largely compilatory but nevertheless valuable Monarquía indiana, also known as the Los veinte y un libros rituales y Monarchia Indiana (1615), of Comedias en lengua mejicana and Servicios de las Ordenes.

Joannes de Utino (Joannes a Mortiliano/Joannes Longus/Joannes de Udine/Giovanni Longo da Mortegliano, d. ca. 1363)

OM. Italian friar from Mortegliano, near Udine. Probably entered the Franciscan order before c. 1320 at the convent of Friuli. Received a thorough theological education. Apparently master of theology. Active as inquisitor in L’Aquila, Venice, and the March of Treviso. He died in the Friuli friary in or around 1363. Sbaralea ascribes to him various works, namely a Pantheon (which is mentioned in the 1387 Repertorio of the Cividale friary), a Compilatio Nova Super Tota Biblia (also known as the Summa de Aetatibus/Compilatio Librorum Historialium ab Adam usque ad Christum), and the Expositio Orationis Dominicalis cum Oppositione quae inter Virtutes et Vitia Intercedit. Of these, only the Compilatio/Summa de Aetatibus seems to have survived. This work, dedicated to the patriarch of L’Aquila and finished between 1344 and 1346, amounts to a (rather well-written) reworking and extension of Peter Comestor’s Historia Scholastica, with recourse to several additional sources (Peter of Poitiers, Paulinus of Venice (Paulinus Minorita), Albert of Aix, Heinrich of Munich and Jacob of Voragine). It was probably designed to function in school contexts for students not yet ready for or incapable to more advanced biblical studies. The first part of the work ends with the story of Christ’s passion and emperor Octavian. The second part of the Compilatio, which also has survived separately as the Compendium Romanorum Pontificum et Imperatorum, is a pope-emperor chronicle along the lines of the Flores Temporum and the chronicle of Martin of Troppau. This part presents the history of popes and emperors in two catalogues up till the early fourteenth century. It is quite possible that this second part was not written by Giovanni himself. Various Latin and German manuscripts also contain a third part, devoted to the history of Hungary and the Hungarian kings, starting with king Stephen. This part almost certainly stemms from a Hungarian compilator. The Compilatio was rather popular during the closing centuries of the Middle Ages, and has survived in a range of manuscripts, both in Latin and in various vernaculars.

Joannes de Vintimilla (Joannes Albentimilliensis/Giovanni da Vintimiglia/Giovanni da Ventimiglia, c. 1490-3 April, 1560)

OFM & OFMCap. Italian friar. Entered the Observant branch of the Genoa province at an early age. Active as preacher, novice master and provincial vicar. Discovered an Italian translation of Angelo Clareno’s Historia Septem Tribulationum, which he copied and was allowed to keep for personal use by his superiors. When he became aware of the Capuchin reform, he saw that as the fulfillment of Angelo Clareno’s prophetical renewal of the Franciscan order, and transferred to the Capuchin branch around 1530. Within the Capuchin order, he held various posts (provincial vicar of the province of Rome and Genoa, repectively in 1538 and 1544. During the council of Trent, Pope Paul IV appointed him into the committee that was to come up with proposals for the reform of the Church. John did much to promote Angelo Clareno’s Historia Septem Tribulationum within the Capuchin order. Not surprizingly, it became a major source of inspiration for the Historia Capuccina of Mattia Bellintani de Salò. Giovanni died at the Saint Barnabas friary in Genoa.

Joannes de Walsham (John of Walsham, fl. mid 14th cent.)

OM. English friar. Born in Walsham (Norfolk). Entered the Franciscans at the Norwich convent. Studied theology at Norwich and Cambridge. Master of theology in 1365 (Cambridge). Later he taught again at Norwich. Nine of his disputed questions have survived (three dating from his Cambridge period, and five from his teaching period at Norwich). In his disputed questions, which are divided in several conclusiones, John tries to keep an independent position between the teachings of Scotus and Ockham. Seems to have harboured rather singular views concerning proofs for the existence of God.

Joannes de Werden (Joannes de Werdena/Joannes de Verdena/Johann von Werden, d. 1437)

OM. German friar from Werden a.d. Ruhr. Renowned popular preacher in and near Cologne around 1400 (also member of the Cologne friary). Composed a preaching manual/sermon collection (consisting of two parts: Sermones de tempore, and Sermones de Sanctis), entitled Dormi secure or Dormi sine cura. This work, which has a rather moderate medieval manuscript proliferation, became very popular during the early days of the printing press (No less than 40 incunable editions and a range of early sixteenth-century printings). Together with the Discipulus of Johannes Herholt, the Dormi secure is the most wide-spread preaching manual in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century German. It provided priests with ready-made sermon outlines on the basis of the appropriate evangelical theme for each Sunday and each Feast day in the ecclesiastical year. According to Trithemius and Juan de San Antonio, Johannes von Werden also compiled a Quadragesimale. That work has not yet been found.

Johan von Werden breaks with the scholastic past, developing his sermon themes in a very accessible way, including a lot of explicatory symbolism (explaining elements of the liturgy) as well as a lot of imagery and exemples from apocryphical gospels, the Historia Scholastica of Peter Comestor, the Legenda Aurea of Jacob of Voragine, and comparable works. In order to make his book acceptable to all preachers, Johannes von Werden refrained from putting a heavy emphasis on Franciscan saints and figures. Various editions of this work can now be accessed at a number of portals, including the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munich and Google Books.

Sbaralea identifies additional sermon collections, yet it could be that they are constitutive parts (two series or books of sermones de tempore and two series or books of sermones de sanctis) of the larger collectionDormi secure/Dormi sine cura.

Joannes de Winterthur (Joannes Vitoduranus/Johann von Winterthur, ca. 1302-1348)

OM. Swiss friar, historian. Born c. 1302 in Winterthur. Went to school in Winterthur from 1309 onwards. Entered the Franciscan order probably in his late teens. Active as confessor and priest in the friaries of Basel (1328), Schaffhausen (1335), and Lindau (from 1340 onwards). Died after the fourth of June, 1348 (latest datable notice in his chronicle). Between 1340 and 1348, he planned to write a universal chronicle in two sections (from the creation until the twelfth century, and from c. 1200 until his own time). Only the second part (from 1198 (pontificate of Innocent III) to 1348) has survived. All that remains of the first part are two excerpts from the chronicle of Frutolf-Ekkehard and the Historia scholastica. Until c. 1300, the second part consists mainly of elements derived from the chronicle of Martin of Troppau, the Franciscan Flores temporum, the Legenda aurea of Jacob of Voragine, the Franciscan chronicle of Erfurt, De Proprietatibus Rerum of Bartholomaeus Anglicus, and various florilegia. From ca. 1300 onwards, the chronicle contains many eyewitness accounts and materials from living informants. The chronicle, which contains a wealth of information on the Bodensee area, as well as on matters pertaining to the crusades and Franciscan missions in the Holy land, is very anecdotical and provides many praedicabilia. In this, the work is comparable with the chronicle of Salimbene.

Joannes de Zamora (Juan Pobre de Zamora, d. 1615)

OFM. Spanish lay friar. Was on his way to the Philippines with other missionaris. Their ship was ordered to pass by the Marianas, to pick up survivors of the galleon Santa Margarita, who was wrecked near the island of Rota the year before. Juan Pobre and others wanted to use this opportunity to leave some missionaries on the Marianas to convert the indigenous population, but this request was denied by the governor of the Philippines and the ship's captain, as they would be unable to protect these missionaries. At Rota, Juan Pobre and another Franciscan friar deserted their ship to start missionizing nevertheless. He stayed for seven months on Rota and wrote down his experiences of the Chamorro inhabitants and also his interviews with other Islanders from Guam in a fascinating account, with much information on the lifestyle and culture of the indigenous people, emphasising their peaceful, democratic and industrious nature. See also the entry on Joannes Pauper de Zamora (Juan Pobre, d. 1614/15). Is this one and the same friar?

Joannes de Zazenhausen (d. ca. 1380)

OM. German friar, preacher and author of Passion devotion treatises. Born in Zazenhausen (near Stuttgart). Friar of the Mainz convent. After 1362, he became auxiliary bishop in Trier. In his function of auxiliary bishop, he consecrated altars in Koblenz (1372) and Ehrenbreitstein (1376). Died in 1380, and buried in the friary of Mainz [See MS Mainz Stb I 51 f.168r]. The manuscript containing the one surviving sermon of Zazenhausen relates that, around 1370, the friar preached regularly in Mainz. Aside from these preaching activities, Zazenhausen is foremost known for his Passion treatises or Passion histories. Most well-known is the treatise dedicated to the Archbishop of Mainz, Gerlach von Nassau (1346-1371), which was written between 1362 and 1371 in the German vernacular (with exception of the Latin dedication and the Latin Prologue, which also includes a short scholastic sermon on the salvafic meaning we can derive from the Book of Life, that is the crucified Christ). Besides, Johannes von Zazenhausen probably also is the author of a rather similar (but in starting point, ending and structure differing) Latin Passion treatise. The Passion treatises of Zazenhausen have much in common with (a contemporary German reworking of ) the Passion treatise of Michael of Massa. Although Zazenhausen’s Passion treatises use Franciscan sources, they nevertheless are relatively independent with regard to the late medieval Franciscan Passion treatise tradition. In the works of Zazenhausen, there is, on the whole, less fictional embellishment of the Passion story and less emphasis on the more graphic and gory aspects of Christ’s suffering that in many Franciscan treatises are meant to enhance the compassion and emotional identification of the reading public with Christ and the Virgin. Johannes’works adhere more strictly to the biblical sources (including apocryphical texts) and prefer a more literal exegesis over allegorical interpretation. They also contain informed eschatological explanations for Christ’s suffering and exhibit a tendency to present Christ as an example for Christian behaviour.

Joannes de Zumárraga (Joannes Zumarraga/Juan de Zumárraga, 1468-3 June 1548)

OMObs & OFM. Spanish friar of noble descent from Tavira de Durango (Bilbao, Biscay province in present-day Spain). Missionary and first archbishop of Mexico. After some initial studies in his town of birth, Juan entered the Observants of the Santoyo province. Finished his noviciate in the San Francisco convent of Valladolid. Thereafter studied theology and canon law at the University of Valladolid. After the Santoyo province was combined with the La Aguilera custody, forming the new province of La Concepción (1518), Zumárraga became its second provincial (1520-1523). Afterward, he is found at the Recollect convent of El Abrojo (1524-1526), and became guardian of the San Francisco convent of Avila and quickly thereafter of the El Abrojo convent (1526-1528). He also fulfilled functions as inquisitor (with Andres de Olmos) in Navarra and Biscaye, and as general definitor for the La Concepción province. On 12 December 1527, Emperor Charles V appointed Juan de Zumárraga to the new episcopal see of Tenoxtitlán, or Mexico (papally confirmed by pope Clement VII in 1530 and official consecration at Valladolid in 1533, during a short Spanish intermezzo of Zumarraga), and on 10 January 1528 gave him also the function of ‘Protector of the Indians’ (a function renounced by Zumárraga in Sepember 1534). Zumárraga arrived in Mexico in December 1528. Between December 1528 and November 1532, and again between October 1534 and 1548 he was active in his diocese (covering New Spain (with the exception of Tlaxcala), Yucatán, and Guatemala), which in 1546 was freed from its suffragan status and became an archdiocese (with the dependent dioceses of Oaxaca, Michoacán, Tlaxcala, Guatemala, Chiapas, and Nueva Galicia). In 1535, Juan de Zumárraga became the first general inquisitor of New Spain on top of his episcopal duties. He kept this inquisitorial position until 1543. Zumárraga died on 3 June 1548 and was buried in the St. Peter Chapel of Mexico Cathedral. During his episcopal charge, Zumárraga was an active supporter of education for indigenous peoples (establishing schools for adults, boys and girls, as well as the famous Collegio de Santiago de Tlatelolco), and took an interest in creating a local printing press and in the formation of libraries. Although Zumárraga had a reputation as protector of the Indian people, and took action to fully emancipate baptised and doctrinally informed indigenous converts, he also is known for inquisitorial persecution of ‘idolatry’ (which lead to several executions). Zumárraga not only had to defend indigenous people against enslavement and the consequences of the encomendar practice (which, thanks to the actions of las Casas were mitigated and nearly abrogated in 1541/2), but also had to negociate between vying secular and regular clergymen and their supporters in Spain and at the papal court, which expressed itself in numerous conflicts about missionary privileges, baptism practices and religious authority over recently christianised populations. Aside from diocesan statutes (1534) and related works concerning synodal matters (1539, 1546), Zumárraga has left no less than 67 letters (covering the period between 1529 and 1548), and two doctrinal works.

Carta sobre los males (...): a.o. MS Madrid, Nac., 1778 ff. 104-108 [Castro, Madrid, no. 89] These comprise various letters on the state of affairs in the New World. See on these for instance Richard E. Greenleaf & Neal Kaveny, Zumárraga and his Family: Letters to Vizcaya, 1536-1548 (Washington, 1979); Manuel Serrano y Sanz, ‘Una carta de Fr.

See also the studies mentioned under the statutes above.
Several of Zumarraga's letters and missionary reports sent back to Europe (the Spanish crown and the order's general chapter) ended up quite early in works like Egidio Gonzalez' Theatrum Ecclesiae Mexicanae (1532), in the Bibliotheca Occidentalis and in other accounts of Spanish missionary conquests.

Doctrina breve muy provechosa de las cosas que pertenecen a la fe católica (1543/Facsimile edition New York, 1928). [This work, partly based on the doctrinal manuals of Pedro de Córdoba and Constantino Ponce de la Fuente (1543), and composed with the help of the Dominican friar Betanzos, is hailed as the first Christian doctrinal work ever produced in America. It was composed between 1543 and 1546. The first part of the work apparently did not survive. The remaining second part probably was finished after the synod of 1546. The Doctrina provides a practical introduction into catholic doctrine for secular and regular priests active in the field, dealing with the dogmas, the commandments, the sacraments, the capital, cardinal and venial sins, and the works of mercy. In this work, which repeatedly refers to Erasmus, Zumárraga also stresses the importance of allowing women to read the Gospel in the vernacular, and emphasizes that the indigenous populaation should be respected and evangelized into true Christians]

For a more detailed description, see DSpir XVI, 1664-1665.]

In 1544, Zumarraga would have issued in Mexico in a Spanish translation the ars moriendi, the commandment treatise and the confession treatise of Jean Gerson. In addition, he would have issued a Castilian version of the Processionale of Dionysius Riquel, sermons, etc. All this needs to be checked.

Joannes Dominicus Ithier (Jean-Dominique Ithier, ca. 1610-1672)

OFM. French friar. Born in Bordeaux around 1610. Known to have been the guardian of the Franciscan friary in Bordeaux in 1650. In that year, Mazarin involved him into a conspiracy to gain the town from the Ormists allied to the Fronde movement. Jean was betrayed and arrested but escaped executed thanks to his religious status. Instead, he was kept in prison for two years. Liberated, Mazarin compensated him by making him bishop of Glandève in 1654. During his episcopate, Jean ordered the construction of the episcopal palace of La Sedz, near Entrevaux (Alps-Haute-Provence area). Apparently, Jean took the episcopal duties in his diocese of 49 parishes in mountainous areas very seriously as well. In 1656, he held an episcopal synod, which resulted into a series of statutes. Jean died on 12 September 1672 in his palace.

Joannes Duns Scotus (John Duns Scotus, ca. 1265 - 8, 11, 1308, Cologne)

OM. Scottish Franciscan friar, theologian and philosopher. Born at Duns, some 15 miles west of Berwick. Entered the Franciscan order between 1278 and 1280. Ordained priest at Northampton, on 17 March 1291 Fulfilled his philosophical studies in England. Produced commentaries on the logical, metaphysical and psychological works of Aristotle, and several theological treatises. Between 1297 and 1300 he studied in Cambridge, where he gave his first Sentences lectures. Moved to Oxford, where he taught the Sentences pro gradu between c. 1300-1302. After he had become a master at Oxford, he moved to Paris, where he again taught the Sentences at the request of his order superiors in 1302/03. Back in Oxford (1303-4) after refusing to sign a French Royal document directed against pope Boniface VIII. He lectured there on Book IV of the Sentences. Back in Paris between 1304-1305/6, probably as magister regens (1305), following the reconciliation of the French king with Boniface VIII's successor, Benedict XI. From 1307 until his death, a year later, principal lector at the studium generale of Cologne. Very influentiual, both in his philosophical doctrines (metaphysics; epistemology; ethics) and in his theological works, including his thoughts on the immaculate conception of Mary. As a result of Scotus's various teaching assignments and ongoing revision of his Sentences lectures, we have of him both reportationes and an Ordinatio, which was going to be his final authorised version, meant for publication, but was never finished. The complications concerning the the status of these various versions of his Sentences commentary is reflected in the confusing in older editions of his work. Still, as they provide insight in the received Scotus of the later medieval and early modern period, it is not always sufficient to use the most recent edition of his works, which have done much to clarify the development of his thought.

works

Opera Omnia. The works of John Duns Scotus have received a fair number of Opera Omnia editions. And their differences reflect the difficulties to sort out the various recensions and stages of the works of the doctor subtilis exhibited in the manuscripts and early imprints. Among the older Opera Omnia editions, there are two that are still used in modern scholarship, namely Ioannis Duns Scoti Opera Omnia, ed. Lucas Wadding, 12 Vols (Lyon: Durand, 1639; Reprint by G. Olms, Hildesheim, 1968-1968), and its revision in Joannis Duns Scoti, Doctor Subtilis, Ordinis Minorum, Opera Omnia , ed. L. Vives, 26 Vols. (Paris, 1891-1895; Reprint by Westmead, Franborough and Hants: Gregg International Publishers, 1969).
Over the centuries the works of Scotus have also been gathered in other configurations, the dependability of which is not always easy to determine. Hence, to provide an alternative to the much-used Summa Theologiae of Thomas Aquinas, early modern and modern Franciscan theologians also produced Summa-versions of Scotus's works. A good example is Ven. Iannis Duns Scoti Doctoris Subtilis Ordinis Fratrum Minorum Summa Theologica ex Universis Operibus eius Concinnata, iuxta Ordinem et Dispositionem Summae Angelici Doctoris S. Thomae Aquinatus, ed. Hieronymus de Montefortino, 2nd Ed., 6 Vols. (Rome: Sallustiana, 1900-1903).
Since 1950, a new, critical Opera Omnia edition is in progress, divided over theological and philosophical works. For the theological works, see: Doctoris Subtilis et Mariani B. Ioannis Duns Scoti, Fratrum Minorum, Opera Omnia, studio et cura Commissionis Scotisticae ad fidem codicum edita. XXI Vols, ed. C. Balic, H. Schalück, P. Modric et al. (Vatican City: Typis Polyglottis Vaticanis, 1950- ). For the philosophical works, see: B. Ioannis Duns Scoti Opera philosophica (St. Bonaventure, N.Y.: The Franciscan Institute Press, 1997-2006). The following lists of individual works is first and foremost based on the edition of texts in these most recent edition, with some additions of other editions.

Comm. in I-IV Sent., Ordinatio. For manuscripts, see: https://www.mirabileweb.it/title/ordinatio-title/3445 [last accessed 28 March, 2022]. This polished Sentences commentary has been edited in the following volumes of the most recent opera omnia edition:

The Amiens MS also contains De Gestis Trium Regum of John of Hildesheim, and Innocent III’s De Miseria Humanae Conditionis] De Septem Peccatis Mortalibus apparently was meant for confessors, to help them identify capital sins from venial ones. Work is predominantly based on the Summa Confessorum of John of Erfurt (taking over its main structuring elements). After the treatment of sins, the work deals in some detail with thenature and proceeding of confession, and the fifteen conditions to which it should adhere. Work alludes to yet another work of John, namely the Tractatus de Decem Praeceptis

Joannes Eberlin de Günzburg (ca. 1470-1533)

OFM. German friar who left the order. Preacher in Ulm and reformer. Famous parodist. Tried first to reconcile Erasmian and Observant reform ideas, but went over to the side of Luther in 1521 and even held a farewell sermon on June 29 1521. Thereafter he went to Wittenberg, to work as Lutheran propagandist against his former mendicant colleagues. His famous XV Bundtgenossen was started when he still was Catholic and finished during his Lutheran transition. The work was later countered by a Catholic parody produced by Thomas Murner (Von dem Grossen Lutherischen Narren).

Joannes Edaeus (John Edes, d. 1406)

OM. English Friar Minor from Hereford. Active at Oxford and later guardian of the Hereford friary. He would have written a Sentences commentary, several commentaries on the physical and logical books of Aristotle, a Fasciculus virtutum et vitiorum, sermons, some other theological works and a Lectura in Apocalypsim. As yet, we do not have any information on these works. An individual theological question seems to have survived.

Joannes Eiximeno (Juan Eximeno/Joan Exemeno, ca. 1360 - 1420)

OM. Spanish (Catalan) friar. Born at Majorca. Entered the franciscan order at an early age. Went through the lectorate program and read the Sentences pro exercitio at the studia of Gerona, Barcelona, and elsewhere before he was allowed to read the Sentences pro gradu at the degree studium of Toulouse (1391; cf. papal letter of Clement VII). In 1397, he finally received the title of master of theology. A year before, in 1396, he pronounced the funerary eulogy for Juan I of Aragon. In 1398, Juan preached at Majorca. In 1399, he is active as crusade preacher. In 1409, he is active in Bologna, and in 1418, he is found as preacher at the cathedral of Lérida. In the early fifteenth century, Juan became involved with the Catalan Royal court (a.o. confessor of Maria de Luna and Marguerita de Prades, respectively the first and second wife of Martin I. Juan also became confessor of king Martin of Sicily. In addition, Juan became counsellor in matters of diplomacy and war). Due to his support for count Juan de Urguel (after the death of king Martin I in 1410), Juan Eiximeno obtained the enmity of anti-pope Benedict XIII, who started a process against him. Under pope Martin V, Juan Eiximeno was rehabilitated, and finally (1418) granted the episcopal see of Malta, a position promised to Eiximeno several years earlier. Juan Eiximeno died two years later. Eiximeno has left a considerable literary legacy, ranging from letters, memoirs, supplications in favour of the count of Urguel, to spiritual writings (see in general the studies of Samuel d’Algaida and J.-M.Pou y Marti mentioned below).

The Quarentena (a Catalan text, written in 1406 on request of King Martin I) is a manual for contemplation for the Lenten period. It was envisaged to provide lengthy and evocative contemplation exercises on the passion of Christ for each day of the Lenten period, yet the surviving text only contains exercises for the first four days.

Johannes Elen (before 1475 - after 1517)

OM. German friar from the Cologne province. Possibly studied at the University of Louvain before his entry in the order (on 26 February 1490 a certain Johannes Elen de Balen was listed as student at Louvain University. Cf. Matricule de l’Université de Louvain, ed. A. Schillings (Brussels, 1958) III, 60, no. 27.). In 1517, he published in Den Bosch in a mixture of German and Dutch dialects an instruction manual on the sacrament of confession: Der gemeynder bicht (Den Bosch: Laurens Hayen, 1517). One year later, the book was published again in Antwerp, now in a more common form of Dutch, under the title Der ghemeenten biechte (Antwerp: Hendrik Eckert van Homberch, 1518).

works

Der gemeynder bicht (Den Bosch: Laurens Hayen, 1517). One year later, the book was published again in Antwerp, now in a more common form of Dutch,under the title Der ghemeenten biechte (Antwerp: Hendrik Eckert van Homberch, 1518). This confession manual contains the following subjects: a short explanation of the ten commandments of God; a short explication of the ten major commands of the Church for the believer; a treatment of the seven capital sins; the scrutiny of the conscience before confession; a guide how to go to confession; the pre-confession (voorbiecht); how to confess the various types of sins; the after confession (nabiecht); on the five kinds of confession that have to be repeated; where one can go to confession (the privilege of the four praying orders); when and how restition should be made. The work shows that Johannes was well-acquainted with all the canonic rules and privileges surrounding confession in the later Middle Ages. The Bull of Leo X from 19 December 1516 might actually have been a direct incentive to produce his text. At the end of the book, Johannes warns against reading incorrect Bible translations and incorrect histories and legends, urging his public instead to learn with the help of this book how to live virtuously.

Johannes Elston (John Elston/Eyston/Bernardinus de Sancto Francisco, 1627-1709)

OFMRec. English Franciscan friar from Berkshire, who entered the English Franciscan recollects at the St Bonaventure friary of Douai (Southern Low Countries), taking his profession in 1644. He was ordained priest in 1651. After studies at Douai University and a number of philosophical and theological teaching assignments, he became doctor of of divinity in 1668. Therafter, he fulfilled a range positions. Most significantly, he was confessor and spiritual director for English third order nuns at Aire between 1668-1671, 1683-1686, 1691-1695, and 1700–1706, and for another community of third order nuns at the Princenhof, near Bruges, between 1674-1677, 1687-1691, and 1696-1697. During his work at Aire, he published The Christian Duty Composed by B. Bernard Francis Student in Divinity (1684), which amounted to a commentary on the credo, the commandments, sacraments, and the theological virtues. This work saw a number of English and later (late 18th cent.) also Irish editions. After his first stint as spiritual director, he was sent for a while as a missionary to England in 1677, but he suffered from a certain type of partial paralysis, and the position of Catholic missionaries in general suffered as a result of the so-called Popish plot. He therefore returned rather quickly to the Low Countries, serving in between his above-mentioned spiritual director positions as provincial definitor to the general chapter (1680-1683, and 1686–1689). Around 1693, he also became director of studies for the English recollects. And in 1708, he retired as doctor jubilatus. He died a year later, on 28 May 1709 in the Douai St Bonaventure friary.

works

The Christian Duty Composed by B. Bernard Francis Student in Divinity (1684). There are a number of editions of this work. From the later 18th century, for instance, stems a reworked version, entitled as: The Decalogue Explained, and the Creed, Theological Virtues, Seven Sacraments, &c. in Fifty-one Excellent Moral Discourses (Richard Cross, Bookseller, 1778). The 1684 edition, entitled The Christian Duty Composed by B. Bernard Francis, Student in Divinity (Aire: Claude François Tulliet, 1684), is available via Google Books.

Joannes Erfurdensis (Joannes de Erfordia/Joannes de Saxonia/Joannes Alemannus/Johannes von Erfurt, ca. 1250-ca. 1320/1340 in Erfurt?)

OM. German friar from the Saxony province. Theologian and Lawyer., and one of the most prominent early Franciscan canonists. Born in or near Erfurt and Lector at Erfurt (c. 1275, again in 1290, and in 1309) and Magdenburg (ca. 1285 -1295). Degree studies in theology, canon and roman law at Bologna university? (1289, 1295, if that is the same man. If true, his teaching at Magdeburg must have been intermittent). He died in or after 1320 in Erfurt, possibly as late as 1340 or even after (he is mentioned in the necrology of the Franciscan friary of Mühlhausen (cf. Th. Noll, 'Das Totenbuch der Mühlhäuser Franziskaner', Franziskanische Studien 17 (1930), 12-25 (19)). John’s Sentences commentary dates from c. 1294/1295. This could point to degree studies in theology). (also provincial minister and custos of Turingia).
Predominantly known for his theological, philosophical and juridical manuals, such as the Tabula de Verborum Significatione, the Tabula iuris utriusque (alphabetical juridical manual in several redactions, first version after 1274, last ‘update’ before 1311), the Vocabularium Vocum sive Glossarium Bibliae (also known as the Libellus in Britonem, which is a reworking of William Brito's Expositio Difficiliorum Partium Totius Bibliae (see Stegmüller), and a Tabula originalium (a biblical encyclopaedia?). Besides, he wrote a Sentences commentary (strongly dependent on Bonaventura (esp. Book II and III, Peter of Tarantasia, Petrus de Trabibus (esp. Book IV), Thomas of Aquino and John Pecham (esp. Book I)), a Summa Confessorum (several redactions: first finished between 1300 and 1302, second redaction between 1304 and 1311; third redaction after 1311) and several biblical commentaries (Job, Isaia, Cant., Apoc.). His biblical commentaries, several of his sermons, his Tabula Tocius Philosophiae Naturalis, his Tabula Logicae and the Tabula Tocius Philosophiae Moralis have been lost since the fifteenth century (Bonmann, 129). To him was also ascribed a Computus Chirometralis (which has survived in ca. 30 manuscripts (a.o. Solothurn Zentralbibl. S.I. 167 ff. 133v-142v (s. XIV)), but that probably is the work of another thirteenth-century John of Erfurt.

It consists of an alphabetically ordered collection of canon and roman law materials for the use of theologians/priests.The first version was composed after 1274 (and before 1285). It received several reworkings (both by Johann von Erfurt and by others) until the early fourteenth century. Kurtscheid (1914), 273: ‘Sie unterscheidet sich von den spätern Vocabularien utriusque iuris (..) dadurch, daß sie sich bei den einzelnen Materien nicht auf eine kurze Namen- und Sacherklarung beschränkt, sondern in mehr oder weniger ausführlichen Artikeln fast erschöpfend ihren Stoff behandelt.’ As such, John’s Tabula was larger than the earlier, alphabetically organised, Summae Iuris. It went beyond the works of Monaldo or Raymond of Peñyaforte (the latter of which was a summa for confession purposes). Kurtscheid (1914), 275: ‘nach mehr allgemeinen Bemerkungen über die Bedeutung der Rechtskenntnis, über die Verschiedenheit, die Begründung und Interpretation des Rechtes äußert sich Joh. dahin, er habe die verschiedenen, oft sehr ausführlichen Ansichten der Rechtslehrer, die ohne bestimmte Ordnung an den verschiedensten Stellen zerstreut sich fänden, kurz zusammenfassen und ordnen sowie etwaige Zweifel nach Kräften erläutern wollen. Es sollte demnach die Tabula ein bequemes Hilfsmittel sein, sich über die wichtigern Materien des kanonischen und römischen Rechtes leicht und sicher zu orientieren.’ It was a work for clerics: ‘posita est compilacio ista propter episcopos et omnem clericum,’ not solely for matters pertaining to confession, but for all matters in which an orientation in canon or roman law was necessary. The work had a great success in this field, yet, as can be expected, did not have a large impact on later, more specialist canonist literature.

The work is meant to provide sufficient canonical information for regular and secular priest engaged in confession and religious teaching. The work is divided in two books, which again are divided in parts, articles, and questions. The first book deals in eight parts with the capital sins, whereas the other book deals in eight parts with the precepts of the decalogue.

Johannes Evangelista Sylvaducensis (Joannes Evangelista Silvaducensis/Johan Evangelista van 's-Hertogenbosch/Gerardus Verscharen, ca. 1588, Den Bosch -1635, Louvain)

OFMCap. Dutch friar. Born in 's-Hertogenbosch as Gerardus Verscharen. OFMCap since 1613, fulfilled his noviciate under Marcellinus of Bruges in the Flemish Capuchin province, and by his profession he adopted the name Joannes Evangelista. Studies of theology in Antwerp (1616 and after), and ordained priest. Subsequently, he lived and worked in Kortrijk, Louvain, Tervuren (a.o.active as novice master (Louvain), guardian, and provincial definitor). As provincial definitor, he was involved with the creation of the monastery of S. Franciscus in Eremo in Trevuren, at the request of the infanta Isabella. Near the end of his life, he lived for a while in partial seclusion in the forest of Soignes (Zoniënwoud, to the South of Brussels), editing his spiritual works and introducing young friars to the religious life. He died, like 10 of his fellow brethern of the plague in Louvain, on 2 November 1635. He is known for several spiritual and introductory mystical treatises geared to the needs of beginners, in which the influence can be traced of Hendrik Herp, John Tauler & Pseudo Tauler, and Benedict of Canfield. These works were all published after the death of the author and had a substantial success.

Joannes Ferretti (Joannes Ferrettus/Giovanni Ferretti da Reggio, d. after 1615)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Born in Reggio Emilia, he joined the Conventuals in the Bologna province and studied theology under Girolamo Pallantieri. Subsequently, he taught philosophy and theology at Bologna, Padua, and Pavia and he seems to have held the position of rector of the order gymnasia in these locations. After 1592 he was theologian-consultant of Card. Alessandro d’Este, and consultant of the Sacra Congregazione dell'Indice in Rome. He retired after 1611 and died sometime after 1615. He was a known Scotus specialist, published a commentary on the Roman Catechism (theological questions) and also wrote a life of the Conventual friar (and bishop of Bitonto) Girolamo Pallantieri. He should not be confused with the composer Giovanni Ferretti (c. 1540 – after 1609).

Joannes Forestus (John Forest, 1471–1538)

OMObs & OFM. English Observant friar, born in or near Oxford in 1471. Joined the Observants at Greenwich in 1491 and studied in Oxford. Made a substantial career in the order and became provincial of the English province, as well as confessor of Queen Catherine of Aragon, first wife to King Henry VIII. In November 1532, then guardian of Greenwich, Forest took a stance against Henry VIII's divorce plans. This led to his imprisonment in Newgate prison and the death penalty. He was conditionally released but later, early 1538, again imprisoned at Newgate, where he was able to be in touch with Catherine of Aragon, and where he wrote a treatise against the King, the so-called De auctoritate Ecclesiae et Pontificis maximi. Due to this text and his refusal to swear an oath of loyalty to the King, Thomas Cromwell, Thomas Cranmer and Hugh Latimer made sure that he was condemned for treason and heresy, and Forest was burnt at the stake at Smithfield, London on 22 May 1538. On 9 December 1886, Forest, as well as 53 other English martyrs, were beatified by Pope Leo XIII.

Joannes Foxall (Joannes Foxal/Joannes Anglicus/Joanes de Anglia/John Foxholes, d. 5-12, 1475)

OM & OMObs. English friar. Born in Lichfield (1415/16). Entered the Franciscan in Lichfield (Worcester custody of the English province). Probably absolved his grammar studies before his noviciate (c. 1430/2), to continue his study of logic, metaphysics and theology (lectorate course). Was ordained subdeacon on June 2nd 1436 and priest on 23 September 1441 (still in Lichfield). Probably spent some time as lector of logic and philosophy (c. 1441-45) in the Worcester custody, before he was sent to Oxford for a degree course (c. 1445-50). Was baccalaureus formatus in 1451, and probably continued his studies for the magisterium at a European university (Di Fonzo suggests Cologne and Erfurt, where manuscripts and other sources seem to confirm his presence and teaching activities before 1462). During this period, he apparently also was active as teacher at the arts faculty level. Was transferred to Bologna (c. 1462/65-1467). He not only was active at the OFMConv. Franciscan studium, but apparently joined the Observants and and lectured in the Observant convent San Paolo al Monte (apparently lectures on Scotus). In 1467-71, he is found as lector at the Ara Coeli convent in Rome. From Rome he travelled back to Bologna (28 December 1470), where he probably was regent of the SS. Apostoli studium, acted in a licence procedure as member of the Collegium Theologorum of the university, and took part in the famous academic Disputa de Arcanis Dei (on the role of future contingents in Divine providence). Subsequently, he was raised to the position of Archbishop of Armagh on 16 December 1471 by Pope Sixtus IV (Foxall’s old friend and fellow friar Franciscus della Rovere). Due to unsolved debts of his predecessor on the archepiscopal cathedra to the Roman Curia, Foxall was not able to enter his diocese, and finished his years in the London convent of the Conventual friars. On the chronology of his various writings presented below (in relation to his teaching positions in Cologne/Erfurt, Bologna, and Rome), I have relied heavily on Di Fonzo (1999), 322-326. Check also the studies of Etzkorn (1989) and Garrett R. Smith & Benno van Croesdijk (2015).

Joannes Fritzhans (Johann Fritzhans, d. 1540)

OFM. German friar and later a Lutheran. Born at Frauenreuth (Thuringia). Became a member of the Leipzig friary. In 1520, he is known to have defended two other Franciscan friars who had come under attack by Protestant Reformers, such as Karlstadt. After Johann’s transfer to Magdeburg, he gradually became more and more sympathetic to the Lutheran cause. He was confronted by his superiors, who threatened him with imprisonment and demanded a public retraction of his views. In reaction, Johann fled to Wittenberg in 1523, from where he wrote a public pamflet, exhorting the people of Magdeburg to adopt the Lutheran reforms, and in which he defended his ‘Werdegang’. After Magdeburg chose for the reformation, and the closure of the Franciscan friary (in which Fritzhans apparently played an important role) Johann returned, and became a Lutheran vicar in one of the larger parishes of the town. Shortly thereafter, he married. In 1530 and after, he embarked on a series of public preaching rallies to strengthen the Lutheran cause in Magdeburg. In addition to these homiletic efforts, he wrote a number of works, frequently in collaboration with Weidensee, directed against the remaining Catholic priests still active in the region. He also became more and more pre-occupied with the threat of Anabaptism and other more radical forms of reformatory thought. He died in 1540.

It could well be that he was not a Franciscan friar, but he seems to have been connected with Dutch Observant spirituality

OM. French friar and medical astrologer. Active in Vienne (Isère). He died before July 1496. His most well-known work, the astrolological Amicus medicorum magistri Johannis Ganiveti seems to be based in part on medical-astrological works by Gundissalinus.

The 1496 incunable can be accessed via Gallica, the digital collections of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munich, and via Google Books.

Joannes Garcia Feijoo (Juan García Feijoo, fl. late 17th cent.)

OFM. Spanish friar. Member of the immaculate conception province and lector of theology in the San Francisco de Valladolid friary, and consultant for the inquisition. Also provincial minister, provincial visitator in Aragon and procurator for his order in Rome. For one of his approbations in his function as Calificador del Santo Oficio, see the beginnings of Noticias de el caphe: discurso philosophico, obra igualmente gustosa a los medicos adultos (...) (accessible via Google Books). He would have left behind two unpublished works: Trina Dissertatio de rebus Historicis in obsequium V. Matris Mariae a Jesu de Agreada (...) & Responsio Religionis Seraphicae ad censuram S. Romanae Generakis Inquisitionis circa libros Mysticae Civitatis Dei. He furthermore wrote poetry and eulogical sermons. The Sermon panegyrico del inclyto y antiqvissimo martyr San Victorio (Valladolid, 1687) ascribed to him by Juan de San Antonio seems to be the work of the friar Ivan Garcia Feijoo.

Joannes Gerardus Knijf (Joannes Cnyfius/Johan Gerritszoon Knijf, ca. 1513-1576)

OFM. Dutch friar from Utrecht, from a patrician family. After studies at Utrecht and possibbly at the famous school of Deventer, Knijf went to Louvain. There, as a student of theology, he entered the Franciscan order. Became a distinguished preacher, obtaining during a visit to Rome from pope Julius II the title predicator generalis. In 1552, he was the guardian of the ‘s Hertogenbosch convent, and in 1555, he was made provincial of the Lower Germany province (until 1558). At the recommendation of Cardinal Granvelle, Knijf became the first bishop of Groningen (appointment came of on 5 August, 1561), a town that he in earlier years had visited as a preacher. He received his solemn ordination from Granvelle on 5 December 1563 at Brussels. At first, he could not take up his position, due to the opposition of the Groningen magistrates and the Cistercians of Aduard Abbey. In the mean time, Knijf worked as an auxiliary bishop in the dioceses of Utrecht and Haarlem. Only after the arrival of the Duke of Alva, with military reinforcements from Spain, was Knijf able to take possession of his episcopal see (November/December 1568). Knijf tried to re-establish traditional Catholicism and to end Lutheran, Anabaptist and Calvinist tendencies in the city of Groningen and in the surrounding country side (the so-called ‘Ommelanden’). To that extent, Knijf held a synod in 1569, thus to lay down for his clergy the rules from the council of Trent. Knijf died of the Plague on the first of October, 1576. Considering his preaching career, it seems likely that Knijf wrote a number of sermons and related works of pastoral care. Thus far, only one pastoral work of him has been found, namely the Meditatie op de psalm De Profundis (1551).

Joannes Ghizzolo (Joannes Ghizzola/Giovanni Ghizzolo, 1580-after 1624)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Composer and chapel master. Probably born in Brescia. Must have joined the Conventual Franciscans by 1608, shortly afer his first compository publication (Madrigali a 5 voci, November 1608). Might have joined to work and study under his uncle Gerolamo Ghizzolo at San Francesco di Brescia. In the registers of the Franciscan Lombardy province from 1618, he is made magister musicae. After a sejourn in Novara, he moved to Milan in 1610, where he became maestro di cappella at Correggio (until 1615). In 1618, he became maestro di cappella for the archbishop of Ravenna, Pietro Aldobrandini. In October 1621, he was made maestro della cappella musicale of Il Santo in Padua, and early 1623, he was called to Rome by the master general Giacomo da Bagnacavallo. He probably never arrived there. In any case he died before 29 February 1624 in Novara.

In 1517, Jean Glapion was elected as commisioner for the ultramontan Franciscan order provinces, while attending the general chapter in Rome. The year thereafter, Jean Glapion was made procurator for the order as a whole. After involvement with the reorganisation of the French order province (the province was divided into the Provincia Francia for the Conventuals and a Provincia Franciae Parisiensis for the Observants in 1518), Jean Glapion became provincial minister of the new Provincia Franciae Parisiensis (1519), and visited a number of houses in Normandy. He also helped transform a tertiary community within the ambiance of Marguerite de Lorraine into a monastery of Observant Poor Clares, preached during lent at the court of Lorraine in 1520. A year later he was appointed counsellor and confessor of emperor Charles V, maybe on the recommendation of Francisco de Quiñones. After an initial sympathy, became more and more antagonistic towards Luther. Supported Erasmian humanism. In 1521, Glapion participated in the Diet of Worms, where he negociated with Frederick of Saxony in order to seek a way out of the Lutheran crisis. Later that year Glapion worked against heresy in the Low Countries. In 1522, when Charles V asked pope Hadrian VI and the Franciscan leaders of the order to send missionaries to New Spain, Jean Glapion was chosen to be sent (just like Angelo Quiñones, a disciple of Cisneros). Jean Glapion was able to find several fellow friars to accompagny him (namely Joannes Tecto, Juan de Aora and Pedro de Gante). Together they departed from Ghent (April 1522), to reach Santander on the 27th of July (after a short interlude in England). Yet Jean Glapion fell ill, and died on 14 September of the same year in Valladolid. His fellow missionaries continued their travels to the New World. In the course of his life, Jean Glapion wrote many letters, witnesses to his dealings in the order and to his activities as humanist and counsellor of Charles V. In addition, he produced a range of sermons (several of which have survived), disciplinary statutes for the Observant reform, liturgical works (Mass on the Passion of Christ), spiritual texts, and works in which he dealt with Lutheranism.

In the sermon, Glapion provides an elucidation of the pater noster prayer, and at the same time denounces contemporary superstitious prayer practices.]

Letters give good impression of Glapion's contacts with Margareth of Austria (Governor of The Netherlands for Charles V) and other authority figures. They also give a good indication of Glapion’s interest in establishing Observant convents of poor Clares that would strictly follow the first rule of Clare and the Coletan statutes, but not as a semi-independent body (as the Colettines), but fully under the control of the regular Observance: the so-called Clarisses de la première Règle ou Soeurs de l’Avé Maria.

This work was issued as: Passe-temps du Pèlerin de Vie Humaine(Louvain (or Antwerp?), c. 1540) [This spiritual work, meant to harnass the faithful against the new ideas of Luther, presents the seven days of the week as stages in the journey of the Christian life: Friday is the stage of the fear of God (Du premier passetempss, nommé crainte de Dieu); Saterday is the stage of faith (le deuxieme passe temps du pelerin pour le samedy est foy); Sunday the stage of hope and charity (La tierce journee est le dimenche et passerons ce jour notre temps avec esperence en charite); Monday is the stage of the imitation of Christ and his celestial philosophy (La quarte journee du pelerin est ensuyvir les euvres et operations de nostre Seigneur Jhesucrist); Tuesday is the stage of prayer (La quinte journee de passetemps du pelerin se passe en contemplant le ciel et les estoiles et qui se fait par oraison, qui contemple Dieu et le Ciel); Wednesday is the stage of patience (La sixieme journee du pelerin passerons le temps a passer les mauvaises passaiges et saillir les fossez avec le baston de patience); Thursday the stage of preparation for death (La septieme journee, qui est le jeudy, passera ce pelerin le temps en la consideration de la mort…). In its totality, the Passe-temps is a mixture between a doctrinal and a spiritual treatise. Justification runs as a central theme throughout the text. Although the Passe-temps in many ways foreshadows the views of justification put forward in the Council of Trente, it was prohibited by the theology faculty of Louvain in 1546/1550. A Dutch version appeared around 1540: Een seer suyverlijc tractaetken (…) ende is ghenaemt die tijtcortinghe der pelgrimagien des menschelijcken levens, ende is ghedeylt in seven dachreysen allen kerstenmenschen nootlijck ende profijtelijck (Antwerpen: Jacob van Liesveldt voor Marck Martens te Brussel, ca. 1540).

Joannes Gorel (Jean Gorel, fl. 1408)

OM. French friar. Franciscan preacher and theologian. Received the licence in Paris in 1408, to become master on January 2, 1409 (Paris, BN Lat. 5657a f. 13v] Before he was allowed to proceed with the magisterium sollemnities, the Faculty of theology summoned him to retract five errors with regard to the sacrament of penance in his theological writings, his vesperies disputations, and in his preaching, which were seen to be degrading the office of the secular clergy [CHUP IV, 162, 174]. Gorel argued that the curate of a parish very often was bestowed on a lay person, for the sake of a benefice, and that the office of pastor or curate therefore was not necessarily the office to which the hearing of confessions should be attached. Moreover, Gorel held that the office of pastor or curate was an ecclesiastical institution going back to Pope Dionysius (c. 250) and hence was not of evangelical origin. This conflict took place in a tense atmosphere, in which the university of Paris and Jean Gerson with reference to tradition formulated a case for a strong episcopal church, in which the mendicants were but an auxiliary force under control of the secular clergy. Gorel retracted his opinions in December 1408. In 1416, he attended the Council of Konstanz (see citations in Sbaralea), together with the provincial minister of the French province, Joannes Guimonelly.

OM. French Franciscan friar. Received the licence in December 1485. Magister regens of the Paris studium in 1486-7 [cf. Paris BN lat. 5657a f. 27v]. One of the main promotors of Scotism of his day. As such became topic of ridicule by Erasmus [Allen, Ep. 64, August 1497: Gryllardus]. Edited (in collaboration with Antonius Capelli) an edition of Scotus’ commentary on the fourth book of the Sentences replete with the Compendium Quattuor Librorum Sententiarum of William of Vorillon and other notitions. The edition prepared by Grillot and Capelli was was reprinted several times. On 25 December of 1495 Grillot preached in the Church of St.-Germain- l’Auxerrois (Paris), during which he publicly exposed and refuted the arguments of the Dominicains against the Imaculate Conception. The Parisian theology faculty accused him of proclaiming in public what should be dealt with in the classroom. He escaped with an apology.

Joannes Grimestone (fl. later fourteenth century)

OM. English friar from the Norfolk region. Compiled in 1372 a preacher’s commonplace book for use in the pulpit, written in the language of the East of England: a miscellaneous (mainly Latin) alphabetical collection of exempla, covering 143 topics. In between are scattered a large number of English rhymes and poems. Among Anglicists he is reckoned the most important compiler of religious lyrics in the fourteenth century.

works

Commonplace Book: MS Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, Advocate MS 18.7.21
Twenty-two lyrics of Grimestone’s collection have been published in Carleton Brown, Religious Lyrics, 69-92 [these lyrics deal with: the hours of the cross (a devotional poem, re-living the passion following the liturgical hours); a dialogue between the Virgin and her child (a lullaby-dialogue set on Christmas day, anticipating the Passion and the sorrow to come); a Nativity song (evoking the mystery of Christmas and hinting at the Passion); a song of the Virgin and Joseph (dealing with Mary’s miraculous pregnancy and how Joseph overcomes his doubts concerning the paternity of the child); Christ weeping in the cradle for the sins of man (a lullaby); an appeal of Mary to the Jews (a Planctus, asking the Jews to stop the torture of Christ. Very much in the Franciscan style of antisemitism); a song of mercy (asking God to show mercy on man’s sins); Christ’s prayer in Gethsemane; Jesus as champion of man; Lamentatio Dolorosa (Planctus about Mary’s sorrow at the foot of the cross); lullaby to Christ in the cradle (adapting one of the lullabies in the Kildare collection); Christ’s love song to man (explains how the love of Christ enticed him to leave Heaven and to suffer for mankind); Dialogue between the crucified Jesus and Mary (Passion meditation dialogue); Ecce sto ad Hostium et Pulso (How Christ invites man to open the door to Him, the heavenly spouse, out of free will); a poem on Christ’s tears (Passion devotion poem); Homo, vide quid pro te patior (lament by Christ); I would be clad in Christ’s skin (exploiting the idea of hiding within Christ’s side wound, to entice the reader/hearer into contemplating the physical suffering of Christ); Mi folke, nou answere me (elaborating on the Good Friday liturgical pasage ‘popule meus, quid feci tibi’, comparable with a poem by William Herbert); song on the love of Christ for man’s soul; O vos omnes qui transitis per viam (a planctus inspired by a responsory from the Good Friday Office: ‘O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus.’); a lullaby on the Christ child shivering with cold; a poem on Christ’s three songs for man (a lyric singing the love of Christ for man and Christ’s redemptive suffering); Woman, I on take to the (Song in which the dying Christ entrusts Mary to John the apostle).

Joannes Guallensis (John of Wales, ca. 1220-after 1285)

OM. English friar, theologian. Entered the order at Oxford as baccalaureus theologiae in 1257. He became the sixth lector of the Franciscan school at Oxford between 1258-1262/78. Later, he was active at Paris (Magister Regens at the Franciscan theology chair at Paris between 1281-83). Connections with Archbishop John Pecham OM, for whom he travelled to Wales in 1282, to meet with Lleywelyn ap Gruffydd. Between 1283-1285, he was part of the committee that examined the writings of Peter John Olivi [cf. AFH 28 (1935), 120, 130; AFH 47 (1954), 45-53. John probably died at Paris, where he was buried [cf. De Conformitate, AF IV, 308-309, 543-544]. John was a prolific author, especially of praedicabilia and works of moral theology. Nearly all of these had a tremendous lifespan throughout the later medieval period (and thereafter),witness the incredible number of manuscripts and the popularity of early editions throughout Europe. Most famous are his Compendiloquium de vita et moribus philosophorum and the Breviloquium de quatuor virtutibus cardinalium, principium et philosophorum, directed at preachers, teachers, and confessors.There are many MSS of these works (several of which are listed below), as well as several old editions. John therewith is one of the more influential moral theologians of the later medieval period. By some scholars, he is also regarded as an upholder of medieval humanism. To John are also ascribed various Bible commentaries, which give insight in his teachings as regent master at the Franciscan Studium Generale of Paris (on Matthew, John, the Epistles etc., as well as on the Apocalypse. Yet the ascription of his Commentarius/Postilla in Apocalypsim is not without its problems. Swanson provides an exhaustive overview of the Apocalypse commentary mss, yet some of these look like copies of commentaries by Guilelmus de Militona and Vitalis de Furno. Stegmüller, in his turn, allots the following Apocalypse commentary mss to John of Wales: Breslau, Univ. 88 (I F 78) ff. 1-178; Todi, Communale 68). Recently, in 2014, Alain Boureau has discussed the implications of the attribution of a postil on Ecclesiastes to John (which Stegmüller and Kaepelli had attributed to the Dominican John of San Gemignano), and the discovery of an as yet unknown text by John, namely the Collationes super Apocalypsim, which also sheds light on the attribution of the Postilla on the Apocalypse, arguing that the Apocalypse commentary in MS Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional 507 should be ascribed to John (see here also under manuscripts).

The work saw early imprints as: Communiloquium, sive Summa Collationum Dictus ad Omne Hominum Genus (Brussels, 1471/ Cologne, 1472/Augsburg, 1475/ Ulm, 1481 & 1493/Strasbourg, 1489[reprinted in 1964]/Venice: G. Arrivabena, 1496 [as the Summa de Regimine Vite Humane]/Cologne, s.a.

Wittlin, in Estudios Franciscanos 72 (1971), 189-203. Hence, this work survives under several titles, such as: Summa de Regimine Vitae/Summa Collationum/Margarita Doctorum etc.. Completed ca. 1270, it contains a wealth of teachings and examples from the life of the philosophers, classical history,  and patristic sources, aiming to instill a right and humble disposition in the young and bring them to a more profound christian life. Meant first of all for the education of priest, and especially directed to all those who do not have access to libraries. The seven chapters of the work deal with 1. the state and rulership; 2. the people; 3. sex and age; 4. the church; 5. students and teachers; 6. religious life; 7. death. This work, as well as the Breviloquium de Virtutibus, had a profound impact on the writings of Eiximenis (especially the latter’s Regiment de la cosa pública and his Dotzen libre de regiment dels princeps e de comunitats). On this, as well as on the general influence of John of Wales’ works in later medieval Spain, see Conrado Guardiola Alcover (1985 & 1989).]

The work received several early imprints under slightly varying titles: Breviloquium de Virtutibus Antiqorum Principum et Philosophorum/Breviloquium de Quatuor Virtutibus Cardinalibus Antiquorum Philosophorum et Principum (Venice, 1498/Lyon, 1511/ Paris, 1516). For more editions, reworkings (a.o. by the Augustinian Hermit Michele da Massa (d. 1337) well as Italian and Catelan translations, see Brady and Swanson. The work gives countless examples of actions and sayings of pagan philosophers and statesmen who by the light of natural reason had chosen to live a virtuous life] A new critical edition of the work on the basis of the oldest available manuscript is currently being prepared by Albrecht Diem and Michiel Verweij.

[John of Wales's text provides new friars with a positive and instructive guide for interpreting the Franciscan Rule and ‘build their spiritual home’; quite different from some of the more legalist thirteenth-century rule commentaries. Cf. Ignatius Brady, ‘Jean de Galles’ DSpir VIII, 534: ‘Puisque l’on utilise une règle pour la construction des maisons, comment les frères ne se serviraient-ils pas de leur Règle comme d’un guide constant pour bâtir leur édifice spirituel? Pour que la Règle soit ‘le livre de vie’, comme l’apelle saint François, Jean met en singulier relief la valeur spirituelle de ses préceptes et surtout de ses exhortations. Il voit dans le nom de ‘frères mineurs’ les vertus qui doivent caractérise leur vie, leur oeuvre, leur apostolat: pauvreté, humilité, détachement dans l’esprit d’un ‘pèlerin’, fraternité et service, dans un climat de prière et de dévotion, sont la marque, selon la Règle, de l’authentique frère mineur.’]

Joannes Guallensis (Jean Wall, 1620-1679), beatus

OFM. English friar from Preston, Lancashire. Was sent by his Catholic parents at an early age to the English College of Douai (Southern Low Countries). Additional training at the English College in Rome (1641) and ordained priest on 3 December 1645. Back in Douai, he worked for a while as a priest and then he joined the Franciscans in the local St. Bonaventure friary (January 1st, 1651), adopting the name Joachim of St. Ann. Novice master until 1656, when he returned to England as clandestine missionary in Worcestershire (using the name Francis Webb), where in public he was governor of the Royal Grammar School, serving in addition a range of Catholics in the region. He was captured and revealed as a clandestine missionary in December 1678. After trial and some delays, also due to failed attempts to implicate him in the so-called popish plot, he was executed (hung, drawn and quartered) on 22 August 1679 at Worcester, much to the dismay of the local population, including many Protestants, as he had been well liked.

Joannes Heimstedt (Heymstete/Heymstede, d. 1504)

OM. German Franciscan friar from the Saxony province. Studied at the Franciscan studium generale of Rostock (1465; lectorate program) and active as lector in Erfurt (1469). In Erfurt, he later finished the degree program, to become Doctor of theology (10-10, 1482). [His promotor was Christian Borgsleben. Allegedly, Heimstedt was already magister regens of the Erfurt Franciscan Studium Generale in 1471, long before he received the magisterium. Only after his promotion would he have been able to become full magister regens in the theology faculty itself]. In the context of his degree studies, he might have published a Sentences commentary (cf. Meier (1930), 344). Held the Franciscan chair of theology at Erfurt between 1485-1490. Thereafter, Heimstedt ecame involved with administrative positions. He was guardian of the Hildesheim convent and became provincial in 1498, as successor of Ludwig von Segen (until 1504). For in-depth info on his activities as provincial and his reform activities along Martinian lines (balancing between the Conventuals and the Observants), see the studies of Bredenbals and Honemann mentioned below In 1502, he took part in the sollemnities accompanying the inauguration of Wittenberg University. He died on 30 July 1504 at Erfurt, and was buried there. Heimstedt is predominantly known for his treatise on the Pater Noster, which he wrote in Rostock in 1465.

Joannes Hyacinthus Sbaralea (Giovanni Giacinto Sbaraglia, 1687-1764)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Born in San Niccolò della Rotta, near Forlì. After first studies in his home town, he joined the OFMConv (4 August 1703) in the Cesena friary. He completed his noviciate in the Ferrara friary, and was thereafter sent to the Lugo friary for his philosophical training. He returned to Ferrara for his priest training and was ordained priest on April 5, 1710. Subsequently, he was sent to the theology study college of Saint Bonaventure in Rome, where he completed his examinations in 1715. Thereafter, he went to the study house of Bologna, where he studied for an additional three years and started to teach – taking over a vacant theology chair. Once he had reached the magisterium theologiae, Giovanni returned to Ferrara, where he embarked on further theological and historical studies. The order leadership recognized his research talents and gave him time to work as order historian and bibliographer in Ferrara, Florence and Assisi, and from 1751 onward again in Rome, where he worked in the Dodici Apostoli friary on the Bullarium Franciscanum and on many other works pertaining to the history of the Franciscan order, the history of the church, church law, councils, the Donatists, and related issues. He died on 2 January 1764 in the Dodici Apostoli friary in Rome.

Johannes Hilten (Johannes Herwich von Ilten, ca. 1425-ca. 1500)

OM. German friar. Born between 1425 and 1430 in Ilten, near Hannover (or in Hilden, near Düsseldorf?). Studied the arts and philosophy at Erfurt University, where he reached a bachelor degree in the artes liberales in 1447. Around this time, he joined the Observant branch of the Franciscan order, and studied theology at the Franciscan studium of Erfurt (possibly after 1447, but maybe starting as early as 1445). It would seem that he joined a group of friars who traveled to Riga in 1463 to implement Observant reforms in the Franciscan friary there. In subsequent years, Johannes obtained a reputation as an efficacious preacher in Livland (working from the friaries of Dorpat and Reval). He became prone to Apocalyptic ideas and gathered around him a group of lay disciples from the local bourgeoisie who were totally devoted to him and from whom he demanded total obedience. This, as well as rumours concerning a love affair, lead to complaints before the episcopal court of Dorpat in 1471. This notwithstanding, he became Lector at the Dorpat friary in 1472. Ongoing complaints lead to his transfer to the friary of Weimar (1477), where he was put in a mild form of confinement that would last until the end of his life. Yet he was allowed to read and write. A month before his death, hen he was already ill, the local order leadership had him transferred to the new infirmary in the Eisenach friary, where he died `a sodalibus permultos annos tribulatus' around 1500, totally reconciled with the church and his order, without retracting his exegetical works. Fragments of two interesting commentaries by his hand still survive: on Daniel and on the Apocalypse. These (through the mediation of Fredericus Myconius, a former Franciscan friar turned Lutheran) even would have influenced the exegetical stance of Luther and Melanchton. Hilton was mentioned in letters by Myconius, Melanchton and Luther as a precursor and also as a prophet of the coming reformation.

Joannes Jubi (Joannes Jubinus/Juan Jubi/Joan Jubi, d. 1572)

OFMConv. Spanish friar. Probably born at Palma de Majorca in the early 16th century. Entered the Conventual branch in Aragon. Was a member of the Barcelona convent in 1540, in April of which year he complained in a letter to his provincial superior Martin Bruguera about the laxity and lack of discipline among the Catelan Conventuals. Around that time, Juan was also active as humanist Latin poet, and wrote on the Conventual constitutions (Nove Reformationes Sanctionum seu Constitutionum Fratrum Conventualium Ordinis Minorum). Juan succeeded Martin Bruguera as provincial minister by the end of 1540, and in 1542, he was appointed bishop of Constantina (Numidia). Yet he remained in Barcelona, to assist bishop Juan Cardona (d. 1546). On 29 June 1547, Juan became auxiliary bishop of Reus. On request of Emperor Charles V, Juan Margarit (bishop of Girona), chose Juan Jubi to act as his theologian at the Council of Trent. Juan arrived there on 16 May 1551. At the Council, Juan took part in discussions about the sacrament of Penance and about the Eucharist, examining in particular the doctrines concerning communion and the nature of the blood and body of Christ in the host. From his period at the Council, two letters to cardinal Granvelle still survive (from 19 November 1551 and 4 February 1552), respectively asking (in vain) for a transfer to the episcopal see of Elna, and for an augmentation of his financial stipend. Juan returned to Spain by April 1552, receiving an appointment as auxiliary bishop of Vich. He spent the rest of his life in the service of the Vich and Barcelona episcopates, to die at the Franciscan Santa Maria de Gesù convent of Barcelona in 1572. Aside from the poems, constitutions and letters mentioned above, Juan also published a versified Opusculum de Sacratissimo Eucharistiae Sacramento (Barcelona, 1568 & 1570). To him are also ascribed a De Contemptu Mundi (1568) and a treatise De Beata Virgine, yet these seem to be religious edificatory poems included (together with other doctrinal, catechistic, laudatory and edificatory poems) in the Opusculum de Sacratissimo Eucharistiae Sacramento.

Joannes Jucundus (Fra Giovanni Giocondo/Giovanni da Verona/Giocondo da Verona, 1435-1515)

OFMConv. Friar from Verona. Famous architect and humanist, and editor of writings of Vitruvius and other classical authors. He dedicated a collection of ancient inscriptions to Lorenzo di Medici. For a long time, debate raged whether he was a Dominican friar or a Franciscan. Vasari mentions that he was a Dominican, and his Dominican status is still mentioned in many studies, but the documentary evidence seems to point out that (possibly after a stint in the Dominican order) he had joined the Conventual Franciscans, and that he was a member of the Franciscan Venetian community in 1508 and of the San Francesco di Treviso community in 1510. He was apparently given much leeway to develop his architectural and humanist interests. By 1493 he had already obtained several clerical benefices in Naples which were not easily reconcilable with the Franciscan vow of poverty. Renowned for his knowledge of architectural engineering, he was called to Naples as early as 1489 by Alfonso, duke of Calabria, where Giovanni Giocondo engaged in archaeological studies, advised on military fortification and infrastructure, and possibly had a hand in the design of the gardens of Giuliano’s palazzo, Poggio Reale. Although he was well-esteemed in Naples, Giovanni Giocondo moved to France in 1495. There he mighit have been involved with the design of several renaissance castles, and he supervised the construction of the Pont du Notre Dame over the Seine in Paris (ca. 1500-1504). Some claim that he was instrumental in introducing Italian building styles in France. Later Giovanni Giocondo returned to Italy, where he became involved with the development/design of fortifications, buildings, public spaces and bridges in Venice, Treviso, and Padua. In 1513, Pope Leo X called him to Rome, to assist Giuliano da Sangallo and Raphael with the construction of the St. Peter basilica, in particular to help consolidate the foundations, which initially were not sufficiently stable. Giovanni Giocondo produced various writings on numismatics, Roman architecture etc., and he issued in 1511 an annotated and illustrated edition Vitruvius’ De architectura, which had a significant impact on Renaissance architecture.

Joannes Kamienski (Jan Kamienski, 1676-1730)

OFM. Polish friar. Entered the Observant Franciscan order in Poznan, where he also began his theology studies. After taking his first clerical orders, he went to Rome, as representative of the Observant of the Greater Poland province while continuing his studies. He returned adfter his studies in 1700, where he became lector in Warshaw and Poznan. Later active as provincial definitor and in 1716 provincial of the Greater Poland province. He undertook many activities as provincial. For instance, he wrote a new redaction of the rule for the female Bernardines (Moniales Tertii Ordinis Regularis Sancti Francisci Assisiensis Bernardinae) and supported the erection and support of libraries, allowing for a mitigation of Franciscan poverty practices to promote learning. In 1719, retired as provincial, became custodian and historian or 'chronologer' of his province, as well as one of the friars involved with the canonisation process of Ladislaus of Gielniow. In 1720 inspector of the Smaller Poland province, guardian of Warshaw in 1722, and shortly before his death, he replaced the acting provincial of the Greater Poland province in 1729. He died on 7 June 1730 at Rawicz. Jan Kamienski is the author of the Annales Polono seraphici, in five volumes. After his death, this work was continuated by other friars until 1800. Jan also wrote a history of the St. Anne convent of Warshaw and he collected and edited the various provincial constitutions of the Polish Observants (from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century).

Joannes Kanneman (Johann Kannemann, d. ca. 1470)

OM. German friar from the Saxony province. Probably born ca. 1400 somewhere in Lower Saxony. Entered the order in the Magdeburg custody. There he probably completed his non-degree studies. Became lector ordinis minorum at the Erfurt studium, and entered the theology degree program there in 1440. Master of theology on 10 February 1444. Magister regens in Erfurt until 1446 [?], thereafter certainly lector principalis of the Magdeburg studium (1446-1449). In these years, he defended with Matthias Doering the pilgrimage to Wilsnack (site of the contested ‘Wunderblut’ miracle) against the secular master Heinrich Toke [Declarationes super Quaestionibus Magistri Hinrici Toke]. For this affair, Kanneman even travelled to Rome (1446), presenting pope Eugenius IV a Supplicatio to enlist papal support for his case. Kanneman also became involved with the defense of mendicant independence from episcopal supervision, against the bishop of Magdeburg and Heinrich Toke [Scutum Defensionis & De Libertate Confessionem Audiendi]. In 1449/50, Kanneman became lector in Berlin. He kept this position until 1458, when he was appointed inquisitor for the Brandenburg diocese. In this position, he initiated several processes against Waldensians, and engaged in vernacular preaching tours against the Waldensian heresy. In 1461, he became the first Visitator regiminis of the reformed (Martinian but not Observant) Franciscan friaries of the Saxon province. From this period dates his Compendiolum de Quarta Danda [on restitution of burial costs in Franciscan cemeteries]. In 1463, Kanneman is found as preacher in Berlin, where he gets into conflict with the Bishop of Brandenburg, the law faculties of Erfurt and Leipzig, and the Erfurt Chartusian Johan Hagen over some statements in a Passion sermon, in which Kanneman had warned against the abuse of the spiritual sword and more in particular the abuse of excommunication verdicts (see on this also Schlageter (2015), 490f. From this controversy stems Kanneman’s Defensorium Sui as well as Johannes Hagen's De potestate ecclesiastica et de auctoritate papae contra Iohannem Kannemann. In 1469, Kanneman is crusade preacher against the Hussites and the Bohemian king George Podiebrad. Kanneman died shortly thereafter in the Franciscan convent of Frankfurt a.d. Oder.

Joannes Kington (Joannes Kynton/John Kington/John Kyngton, d. 1536)

OM. English friar and theologian. Not much is known about his early years. Between 1472 and 1477 he was a member of the Stanford convent. During this period, he was ordained as a sub-deacon (May 1475) and as a priest (22 March, 1477). He went through the degree programme at Oxford and became doctor theologiae in the early 1490s. In the academic year 1494/5, he taught at Magdalen College. In subsequent years, he remained active within the university, acting as a deputy commissioner of the university chancellor in 1502 and as a full commissioner between 1503-1507. In 1503, he also taught at Lady Margaret College. In 1521, he was a member (for the university of Oxford) of the Wolsey committee that gathered in London to examine the doctrines of Luther. The same year, he became a member of a Royal committee that had to review the spread of Lutheranism at Oxford. In the context of these assignment, Kington wrote an anti-Lutheran treatise (did it survive?). Following these involvements, Kington obtained the Lady Margaret professorship in theology. Early 1530, he was accused of forgery by William Warham (archbishop of Canterbury). Kington resigned from his teaching position but remained connected with Oxford university and in 1531 took part in the Oxford committee that discussed the divorce of Henry VIII. He died on 20 January 1536. No extant works? For more info see the lemma of Clark in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

Joannes Kniptrovius (Johann Kniepstroh/Knipstro, 1497-1556)

OFM. German friar who went over to Lutheranism. Born at Sandow (Silezia) on 1 May 1497. Entered the order in his adolescence. Studied at the university of Frankfurt an der Oder (since 1516), where he was noticed for an intervention in an academic disputation against Tetzel concerning Lutheran positions about indulgences. Johann apparently showed himself rather favorable to the Lutheran point of view. His superiors therefore decided to send him to the Pyritz convent in Pommern, in the hope that, far away from the academic life, he would forego his Lutheranising tendencies. However, Johann immersed himself in Lutheran writings and began to make converts among his fellow friars and among the citizens of the town. Valentin von Colberg forced him out of Pyritz, whereafter Johann went to Stettin (Autumn 1523) and Stralsund (Fall 1525). In the latter town, Johann preached the reformation and rose in the ranks of Lutheran pastors. Between 1531-1532 and between 1539 and 1552, he taught at the university of Greifswald, by then a centre of Lutheran theology, and preached at the Ducal court of Pommern. He also co-organised the Lutheran synod of Pommern in 1535 and became a very staunch opponent of re-catholisation during the Augsburg interim. In 1552, after a conflict with a fellow professor (Johann Frever) on the nature of priestly ordination, Johann retired at the ducal court of Duke Philip (at Wolgast), where he died on 4 October 1556. Most of his writings stem from his Lutheran period.

Joannes Locher (Johann Locher, d. 1524)

OFM. German friar. He opted for the Lutheran cause around 1520 and was executed at Munich in 1524. Known for his polemic writings on the oppression of the poor by the rich. In the past, scholars have tried to identify him with Heinrich von Kettenbach, yet that seems unwarranted. Johann Locher probably was executed for his seditious activities. All his surviving works seem to date from his Lutheran period.

Joannes Mahusius (Mahuys/Mahieu, ca.1503-1577)

OFM. Belgian friar. Born at Oudenaarde. Studied arts and theology at Louvain (matriculated as student in the arts in the De Valk pedagogium and in 1524 promoted as primus among 164 students). Entered the Observant Franciscans before he completed his theology studies. Fulfilled all the theology degree obligations, but refused the doctor's title, in accordance with Observant practice. Lector of biblical theology at the Antwerp friary between 1535 and 1538 and from 1539 active in the Franciscan Studium theologicum of Louvain. Known for his preaching skills and theological knowledge. In 1551, when he was guardian in Brussels, he was sent to the Council of Trent on behalf of the Habsburg government of the Low Countries. He departed on the first of August of that year and held on 23 October in Trent a doctrinal lecture on the sacrament of confession. Later, on December 11th of the same year he formulated an advice on the Eucharist and the priesthood. In 1552 we find him again in Brussels. Several years later, in 1554, the urban authorities of Audenaarde convince him to preach for nearly six months in that town. In the wake of the diocesan reforms in the Low Countries, Cardinal Granvelle proposed in 1559 to King Philip II to appoint Mahusius as Bishop of Deventer (and the Franciscan Johannes Knijff as Bishop of Groningen). As a prelude to the appointment, the governess Margaret of Parma asked Mahusius to preach a Lenten cycle in Deventer in 1560 (just as Knijff was asked to preach in Groningen). On August 8, 1561, Pope Pius V issued the appointmenyt bull. Yet resistance in Deventer and the start of the Dutch revolt prevented the effectuation of Mahusius's appointment. In the mean time, Mahusius remained in Brussels, where he was active as vicar in 1561 and where he preached regularly between 1561 and 1563 for the Cistercian Bernardine sisters of Ter Kameren. In October 1565, he took part in the provincial Council of Utrecht. By 1568 the road towards his appointment as bishop seemed open, but by then Mahusius deemed himself too old and too decrepid to accept it. He stepped aside and in 1570 his fellow Franciscan Gilles van der Bergen was made Bishop of Deventer instead. Mahusius retired in a small house near Oudenaarde. On September 7, 1572 a group of roaming Gueux attacked Oudenaarde, the local Franciscan friary and the surrounding countryside. they found and mistreated the elderly Mahusius and kidnapped a number of secular priests who had found refuge in the friary. Five of these priests were later killed (drowned) by Gueux, when they were forced to flee. Later historians sometimes have written that Mahusius was killed together with the secular priests, but that was not the case. Mahusius died instead from complications of oedema on May 10th 1577, and was buried in the Franciscan church of Oudenaarde. Important theological and homiletic author in Latin and Dutch.

Sermoen op de hymne Veni Creator, a long sermon held in 1562 before the Bernardine sisters of Ter Kameren near Brussels. This sermon copied by the nuns and later also by the chaplain Hendryck Boulaert for the nuns of the Vorst monastery near Brussels. Now still present in MS Brussels, Royal Library 4298 ff. 231-294.

XXVII Sermoenen op het Pater Noster op het thema Men moet altoes bidden en niet ophouden. Preached in 1563 before the Bernardine (Cistersian) sisters of Ter Kameren near Brussels. These sermons were copied by the sisters ‘uyt den prekende mont vanden E. seer wijsen discreten gheleerden pater heer Jan Mahusius minderbroeder tot Brussel‘, and later communicated to other monastic communities. These sermons can now be found in: MS Brussels, Royal Library 4297 ff. 1-225 [women's copy?]; MS Namen, Archeologisch Museum cod. nr. 32, 31ff; MS Oudenaarde, Stadsbibliotheekl s.n.

Psalm commentary, MS Brussels, Royal Library 3665 ff. 1-121v.

D. Joannis Chrysostomi in sanctum Jesu Christi evangelium secundum Matthaeum commentarii, diligenter ab Arianorum facibus purgati (Antwerp: Jan Steels, 1537) etc. This was a 'purged' edition of a commentary on Matthew, which seven years before had been issued by Erasmus of Rotterdam. In Mahusius's time, the commentary was believed to be the work of John Chrysostom, but the work should probably be ascribed to the Arian Bishop Maximus. Mahusius had tried to weed out the Arian passages, in order to arrive at what he thought to be the 'original' text of Chrysostom. From 1545 onwards, later editions of this work also include a Passio domini nostri Jesu Christi secundum Matthaeum in decem homilias divisa, per D. Joannem Chrysostomum. This latter work is possibly not the work of Mahusius's editorial interventions but inserted at the initiative of the printer. For more info see the studies of of De Troeyer mentioned below.

Epitome annotationum in Novum Testamentum ex quinta et ultima Des. Erasmi Roterodami aeditione (Antwerp: J. Steels, 1538) etc. This was Mahusius's own 'reading' and selection from Erasmus's Novum Testamentum, which Mahusius dedicated to master Andras Rytius from Antwerp. Mahusius tried with this edition to open up Erasmus's work fora larger public. Later, like Erasmus's original, Mahusius's work also became suspect and exemplars of the work were either confiscated or 'corrected'. In 1615 the work was placed on a list of works that could only be read after proper correction and the work might even have figured for some time on the index for forbidden books. For more info see the studies of of De Troeyer.

Editions of Bonaventure's commentary on Luke, issued as: D. Bonaventurae a Balneo Regio doctoris seraphici (...) in sacrosanctam Jesu Christi secundum Lucam Evangelium commentarii, 2 Vols. (Antwerp: Joannes Crinitus for Gregorius Bontius, 1539). Mahusius dedicated this edition to the provincial minister Matthias Weynsen of Dordrecht. Most later editions of Bonaventure's commentary, including the Quaracchi edition from 1895 rely in part on this edition.

Psalterium Davidicum paraphrasibus et argumentis illustratam (Antwerp: Jan Steels, 1553). This was a shortened version of Francis Titelmans's Elucidatio in omnes psalmos, which had been issued for the first time in 1531. Mahusius's reworking, like the original dedicated to Emperor Charles V, wished to provide a wider audience with a book that was brevis, luculenta et portabilis. Mahusius's version includes at the end a Psalterium Davidis in locos communes redactum: a fifteen pages long enumeration of themes and emotional states with appropriate psalms. This was apparently ment to facilitate preachers. Contrary to Titelmans's longer work, Mahusius's reworking only saw one edition. For more info see the studies of of De Troeyer.

This is the lecture on the confession sacrament held at the Council of Trent, in accordance with the manuscript annotations of the lecture retained by Karel de Langhe, secretary for the Habsburg government at the Council.

General preacher on Sicily, and in several other Italian regions until 1581. Provincial minister of the Capuchin Foggia (or S .Angelo) province between 1561 and 1564, of the Sicilian province between 1565 and 1569, and again of the Foggia province between 1573 and 1576.

Joannes Marignolla (Joannes a S. Laurentio/Joannes de Florentia/Giovanni dei Marignolli, ca. 1290, Florence - ca. 1359)

OM. Italian friar minor from Florence [born in the Marignolla quarter]. Entered the order in the Ste Croce convent, and was active as lector at Bologna (ca. 1330-1338). Was sent to China by Pope Benedict XII with a group of friars led by Nicholas Bonetus [a delegation of new friars on the request of Khan Togan-Temur, who asked for a successor of John of Montecorvino (d. 1328) as archbishop of Khanbalik]. John took over the leadership of the mission after the defection of Nicholas Bonetus and travelled via Constantinople [where he tried to enlist the support of Patriarch John XIV Calecas for the advancement of the unity of the Church in May 1339] and Kazachstan [where he heared about the martyrdom of the Franciscan bishop Richard of Bourgogne and his friars in the 1337 persecution by Ali Sultan (the successor of Khan Kazan)], to China [arrival in Khanbalik in 1342, and active in apostolic activities and religion discussions until 1346]. He returned to Avignon via Zayton, Java, Sumatra, Ceylon, India, Ormüz, Bagdad, Palestine, and Egypt, to report to Pope Innocent VI c. 1352. On 12 May 1354, the Pope made him bishop of Bisignano in Calabria, but John preferred to follow the Emperor Charles IV, who invited him to his Court in Prague, where John became active as commensalis, chaplain and historiographer (from 1355 onwards). He apparently wrote a Historia sui Ordinis (ms. Florence Coenobio S.Crucis?), and, on request of Charles IV, he published a lengthy Cronicon Bohemorum (mss. Prague Bibl. Publ.;Venice, Bibl. Marciana), which also contains accounts of his missionary journeys to China, India and the Middle East, and speculations concerning the earthly paradise (relying on the legend of Joh. Presbiter?). Within Bohemia the Chronica Bohemorum was hardly used, partly because of its lack of historical accuracy on the local level. Yet it was used in Vienna, and it became a major source for the Oesterreichische Chronik (1390) [See the studies of A.-D. von den Brincken]

Cronicon Bohemorum: MSS Prague, Národni Knihovna cod. I D 10 ff. 1r-102v; Venice, Marciana cod. lat. X.188 ff. 243r-263v (Until Book IIa and used by Emler for his edition); Prague, Národni Knihovna cod. I C 24 ff. 202r-v (fragment); Florence ?

Golubovich, Biblioteca bio-bibliografica della Terra Santa e dell' Oriente Francescano IV (Quaracchi, 1923), 257-309. A new, full edition of the chronicle is currrently being prepared by K. EZngstová. [Book I of the Chronicon, called the 'thearchos', tells the history of the world until the Flood of Noah; Book II, called the 'monarchos', starts with the sons of Noah and tells the history of realms and kingdoms until Emperor Augustus; Book III, called 'ierarchos' explains the history of 'sacerdotium': 'sacerdotium naturale, legale & spirituale' until the first popes and then continuing with bishops of Bohemia. Giovanni used many sources for his universal history, among which also the world chronicle of Giovanni da Udine (Johannes de Utino)].

Joannes Meder (Johann Maeder/Johannes Meeder/Johann Mederlain, d. 1518)

OMObs. Swiss Observant friar from Baden. Matriculated at Heidelberg University in 1451, and became bachelor of arts in 1453. Thereafter he entered the Observant branch of the Franciscan order in the Strasbourg province. Active as preacher in and around the Franciscan convents of Pforzheim (1477-1480, 1483-1486), Ruffach (1480-1483), Oppenheim (1486-1487), Wissemburg (1487-1489), Saverna (1489-1492), and Basel (1494-1502). Also active as preacher among the Poor Clares of Alspach (1492-1493, 1502-1507) and Gnadental (Basel, 1501-1502). In the convents of Saverna, Oppenheim and Wissemburg, he also was active as lector of theology. He befriended Sebastian Brant, who prefaced the 1495 edition of Meder’s sermon collection (Quadragesimale) with 11 Latin Distichs. A letter from Brant to Meder, in which the humanist expresses his thanks for Meder’s council, was printed in Brant’s edition of the Revelationes of Pseudo Methodius (published in Basel in 1498 and 1504).

Quadragesimale Novum Editum de Filio Prodigo et de Angeli Ipsius Ammonitione Salubri per Sermones Divisum (Basel: M. Furster, 1495/Basel: M. Furster, 1497 [title: Parabola filii glutonis, profusi atque prodigi]; Basel: M. Furster, 1510/Paris: Barbier, 1511) [cf.Hain 13628 & 13629]. The 1495 edition is accessible via the digital collections of Ghent University Library [https://lib.ugent.be/europeana/900000176539?pg=PP1 ] and via the digital collections of the Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek Basel [https://www.e-rara.ch/bau_1/content/structure/1398612 last accessed 2 October, 2022]. This collection contains 50 sermons for the Advent and Lent period, although it mentions in the beginning that the collection is useful for the whole year. Meder had preached these sermons in 1494. Each sermon contains a veritable dialogue between a guardian angel and the prodigial son, followed by a scholastically divided elaboration of the theme in question. 49 sermons close of with a parable or a similitude. The last ten sermons deal with the passion of Christ. The longest of these amounts to a veritable allegorical treatise on the passion. Another sermon contains a reworking of the Pyramus and Thisbe story. John cites a wide range of theological authorities, among whom stand out Anselm of Canterbury, Gratian’s Decretum, Bernard of Clairvaux, Hugh and Andrew of St. Victor, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, and Nicholas of Lyra. The Basel editions have 16 woodcuts, apparently produced according to Meder’s wishes. With these illustrations and the character of the texts in mind, Landmann (1927), 305 indicates: ‘Wir haben es hier also nicht mit einem homiletischen Magazin gewöhnlicher Art, sondern eher mit einem aus gehaltenen Predigten hervorgegangenen literarischen Erbauungswerke zu tun.’ Landmann , 305-306, also provides more information concerning Meder’s catechistic motivations.

Provincial of the Castilia province (1637-1639) and minister general between 1639 and 1645. He promulgated new enclosure constitutions for all Franciscan nuns (Poor Clares, Conceptionalists and Tertiaries). Due to a feud with Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel Ribera y Velasco de Tovar (el Conde-Duque de Olivares, an important counsellor of Philip IV), Juan for a while was not welcome in Spain. Eventually able to regain respect of the royal family and able to return. Was appointed bishop of Ciudad Rodrigo by Philip IV, and later became bishop of Valladolid. Wrote an influentual Scotist philosophy handbook (Cursus Integer), followed by more extensive works in the same vein, some of which are akin to the works of Bartholomaeus Mastrius. Not all of these works reached the printing press. He died on 24 September 1663 in Valladolid.

Joannes Michaelis (Jean Michaelis/Joannes Gallicus, fl. c. 1292)

OM. French friar from the Provence (probably born at Sommieres, Nîmes diocese), who probably studied at the studium generale of Montpellier (lectorate program) and worked at various study houses in southern France (in the Alès custody; in Montpellier (1292), where he composed his commentary on the third book of the Sentences; in Avignon) and in Italy. He probably was well-acquainted with Peter Olivi (with whom he shared some theological and eschatological concepts), and seems to have been a moderate supporter of the Spiritual cause. He was involved in the canonisation proces of Delphine de Puymichel. In the course of his life, he produced ca. 30 different works, predominantly biblical commentaries, sermons and ascetical works, which not solely betray an affinity with the ideas of Olivi, but also have a strong Bonaventurean imprint. Some of his works (Expositio in Danielem and the first two books of his commentary on Maccabees) have been included in old Opera Omnia editions of Thomas Aquinas. Michaelis probably died after 1320.

His Sentences commentary on book III contains 56 Quaestiones de beata Maria Virgine, on the life and privileges of Mary (received between her first sanctification in the womb and her coronation in Heaven). Heavy emphasis on her gift of contemplation, her imitation of Christ, and her perfect evangelical poverty. In addition, the commentary gives an exposition of the theological virtues (focussing espacially on caritas), the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the moral virtues and the divine law. His mariology apparently had an impact on the mariological concepts of Petrus de Trabibus, Peter Aureol, and Bernardine of Siena]

Joannes Pauli (Johannes Pauli, fl. c. 1515)

OMConv. German friar. Renowned preacher. Probably ordained priest in or shortly after 1479. Convent lector in Villingen, near Freiburg in 1490 (mentioned as such at the provincial chapter, held at Villingen in 1490). Joannes survived the Plague, which more or less emptied the Franciscan friary in Villingen in 1493. After 1494, he moved to other areas: Custodian of the Basel custody in 1498, guardian in Bern between 1503-1504, Guardian of the Straßbourg convent (1504/6-1510), and Lector (Lesemeister) in Schlettstadt (ca. 1513-1515) and Than (Alsace, from 1518 onwards). During his lectorate years at Villingen, between 1490-1494 he became also Preacher and confessor at the Villingen Bicken convent of Poor Clares (appointed in 1491, and according to the Bicken convent chronicle in function since August of that year). Near the end of his long preaching career, he produced the humorous an critical Schimpf und Ernst (finished in 1519, when he was lector or reading master in Thann. The work was published for the first time in 1522), based on exempla. Contains c. 693 little histories, exempla, and anecdotes to strengthen morals of monks and aristocratic lay people, and to provide exempla for preaching purposes. Many of these histories etc. were thought out by Pauli himself, yet probably two-third of these tales are adaptations of earlier collections. Often translated and revised. Very popular work on religious instruction for ca. 200 years (comparable with the Adagia of Erasmus?). Aside from this, he also is known for his edition in four volumes of Geiler von Kaisersberg (d. 1510, celebrated cathedral preacher at Strasbourg)’s sermons (edited to function as religious ‘Volksbuch’for the laity) and for his own sermons held before the nuns of the monastery of Bicken in Villingen (Schwarzwald) in the early 1490s. In these latter sermons, Pauli draws heavily on Bonaventure’s Sentences commentary and other works of the Seraphic teacher [cf.Steer, 1976, 151: ‘Bonaventura ist Johannes Paulis Lieblingslehrer. Er nennt ihn des öfteren zärtlich min truts Bönli.’], showing a preference for a theology of love.

works

Sermones: MS Berlin MS Germ. 4° 1069; This collection was written by a sister of the Poor Clares of Villingen (the so-called Bickenkloster), on the basis of sermons held by Pauli in between 1491 and 1494 (esp. 1493-1494?, see Chr. Roder, ‘Die Franziskaner in Villingen’, Freiburger Diözesan-Archiv 5 (1904), 253f.; Die Predigten Johannes Paulis, ed. R.G. Warnock (1970), 5-25). It contains in the Berlin manuscript 23 lengthy sermons for i.) feast days and the commemoration of saints, for ii.) Advent and Lent, and iii.) on the relation between will and reason. The latter are rather free reworkings by the female Clarissan copiist.
For an edition, see: Die Predigten Johannes Paulis, ed. Robert G. Warnock, Münchener Texte und Untersuchungen 26 (Münich: Beck, 1970). Based on the sermons in MS Berlin MS Germ. 4° 1069.

Joannes Pauper (Juan Pobre/Juan Díaz Pardo, 1514-1603)

OFM. Spanish franciscan; first friar minor to enter Japan as a missionary. Before his entrance in the order, he was an officer in the Spanish army, and took part in the conquest of the Philippines (1565). He entered the Franciscan order, after taking part in a missionary journey to China (1579), and absolved his noviciate in the Philippines. Taking the name Juan Pobre, he engaged in missionary activities in Thailand and Japan, without ever becoming priest. At the age of 70, he returned to Manilla, where he worked an additional twenty years as procurator for the missions. His experiences and teachings stimulated the order to embark on more systhematic missionary activities in Japan.

Joannes Pauper de Zamora (Juan Pobre, d. 1614/15)

OFMDisc. Spanish friar and missionary. Served in the Spanish army in The Netherlands before he entered the Franciscan order in the Flemish province. Travelled back to Spain and in 1592 departed as missionary to the Philippines, where he soon became procurator for the missions in Manilla. In 1596 he was shipwrecked on the Japanese coast, and witnessed the Japanese persecution of Christianity. Travelled back to Rome in 1599 and assisted in the beatification of the Nagasaki martyrs. Returned to the Philippines with 30 missionaries. In 1603, he again was back in Europe, this time recruiting 50 missionaries for the Philippines. In 1611, he travelled back to Spain, trying for the third time to recruit missionaries. This time, he fell ill in Madrid, and died. He was buried in the church of the Friars Minor of S. Bernardino. He was a prolific missionary author. Only a selection of his works have received an edition. Check also the entry Joannes de Zamora (Juan Pobre de Zamora, d. 1615). Are we dealing with one and the same friar?

Joannes Pecham (Joannes de Pescham/Joannes Peccanus/John Pecham, ca. 1225, Patcham in Sussex - 1292, Mortlake, Surrey) doctor ingeniosus

OM. English friar from Patcham (near Brighton,Sussex). Apparently studied the liberal arts at Paris and at Oxford, where he became master of arts. Entered the Franciscan order in or shortly after 1250. He was sent to Paris for his theological education, where he became regent master of theology (1269-71). Thereafter he functioned as regent master at Oxford (1271-1274), taking over the regency from Thomas Bungay. He was elected provincial minister of England in 1274 (1276?) and was lector at the papal curia between 1277-79 (during which period a provincial vicar took care of his provincial obligations). On 25 January 1279, Pope Nicholas III appointed him to the archepiscopal see of Canterbury. He died at Mortlake, on 8 December 1292, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral. Pecham took an active part in the struggle with the secular masters (of arts) at the university of Paris. Defended the Franciscan positions of poverty, and argued against Kilwardby OP’s denigration of the Franciscan way of life. Supported Stephan Tempier in 1277 in his condemnation of the averroist positions of Thomas Aquinas. As archbishop, he was very involved with issues of pastoral care (witness his Lambeth Constitutions). Wrote many scientific and theological works (. A.o. Perspectiva communis, Quodlibeta, Trinitatis officium, sermons, hymns, poems (o.a. Philomena), letters). Citations in the Apocalypse commentary of John Russel, which have been identified by Beryl Smalley, would indicate that Pecham also wrote an Apocalypse commentary (see Joannes Russel, Comment. in.Apoc. ms Oxford, Merton College 172ff. 107vb, 108ra, 108vb, 109rb). Nothing is known about the whereabouts of this work. According to the Lanercost chronicle, Pecham introduced the practice of holding quodlibetal questions at the University of Oxford (‘primus omnium disputavit in facultate theologiae de quolibet’). See on this innovation (and his later quodlibetal activities at the papal curia esp. Piron (2006).

Canticum Pauperis pro Dilecto, ed. F. Delorme, Bibliotheca Franciscana Ascetica Medii Aevi, 4 (Quaracchi,1905/Quaracchi, 19492). The first (1905) edition also contains the Stimulus Amoris of Jacob of Milan: Stimulus Amoris Fr. jacobi Mediolanensis. Canticum Pauperis Fr.Johannis Pecham sec. codices mss. edita, Bibliotheca Franciscana Ascetica Medii Aevi IV (Quaracchi, 1905), 133-205. The last part of the Canticum (pp. 197-205 in the 1905 edition) is sometimes also found separately as the Forma Vitae Fratrum Minorum, a.o. in MS Rome, St.-Isidoro Cod. 1/73. The Canticum amounts to an explanation, a defence and a recommendation of the Franciscan way of life, aiming to guide the soul in its search for true happiness. In the work, which presents the Franciscan life as a life of Christian wisdom and explains what it takes to enter into this house of wisdom and virtue, an old teacher guides a pupil, helping him to overcome obstacles and helping him to withstand the criticism of enemies (such as seccular clerics who denounce the mendicant way of life). Work probably written during Pecham’s stay at Oxford (before 1274-1275).]

Principium: Fons sapientiae Verbum Dei in excelsis: MS Vatican Burghesiani 157. This text is discussed in Joshua C. Benson, Fons sapientiae verbum Dei in excelsis. John Pecham’s Inaugural Sermon?’, Collectanea Franciscana 81:3-4 (2011), 451-478, and was edited in: Joshua C. Benson, ‘Un Unedited Principium: Fons sapientiae Verbum Dei in excelsis. Introduction and Text’, Collectanea Franciscana 81:1-2 (2011), 71-100. The author argued in his article ‘Identifying the Literary Genre of the De reductione artium ad theologiam: Bonaventure’s Inaugural Lecture at Paris’, Franciscan Studies 67 (2009), 149-178 that one of the sermons in MS Burghesiani 157 was an unedited academic sermon by Bonaventure that has to be identified with a principium of Bonaventure with which he sharted his magisterial theology course. That particular sermon text, which is presently being edited by Benson, is probably the first part of a principium, the second part of which has become known as Bonaventure’s famous De reductione artium ad theologiam. The author identifies the text immediately following Bonaventure’s inaugural sermon in VB 157 as a principium text by John Pecham (which has the incipit Fons sapientiae verbum).

On the composition and the intended audience of these hymns, see: Antoine de Sérent,‘Livres d’heures franciscaines’, Revue d’Histoire Franciscaine 6 (1929), 19-20.

The Hymn Versus de Sacramento Altaris has been printed in Registrum Epistolarum fr. Johannis Peckham, ed. Ch.-T. Martin, III, p. cxviii and in Drèves, Analecta Hymnica L, 598. The hymn Meditatio de Sacramento Altaris/Rythmus de Corpore Christi has been published in Registrum Epistolarum fr.Johannis Peckham, ed. Ch.-T. Martin, III, p. cxiv-cxvii and in Drèves, Analecta Hymnica IV, 597, as well as in Fr. J. Pecham Tractatus Tres de Paupertate, 8-9.

The work was edited in: Bonaventura, Opera Omnia VIII (Quaracchi, 1898), 391-437. It used to be ascribed to Bonaventure (from 15th century onwards. Maybe starting with John Capistran). Pecham probably wrote this work in Italy, when he was magister sacri palatii (or, after 1273, during his charge as provincial in England). Emphasis, in a Bonaventurean fashion, on the spiritual value of the Rule of Francis. Cf: F. Delorme, ‘Trois chapitres de Jean Pecham pour la défense des ordres mendiants’, Studi francescani 29 (1932), 49. Cf. also the article of Harkins mentioned in the bibliography.

Joannes Philippus (Joannes Philippi/Jean Philippe, d. 1487)

Became active supporter of Observance [as is also testified in Glassberger, Chronica, AF II, 428-32, 436-42, 446-49, 502-03], and acted as provincial vicar in the provinces of Aquitaine (before 1464), Bourgogne (1464), France (1479 & 1484). Three times, he was general vicar of the ultramontine Observants (1467-70, 1475-78, 1481-84). Well-known for his visitations, in which he specifically examined the poverty standards of the visited convents. This concern for poverty and observance practice also shows in his letters to various convents (a.o. to Ruffach, Strasbourg, Basel, which are edited in Glassberger), and in his various treatises devoted to the use and abuse of privileges, the recourse to amici spirituali etc. Died in 1487 in the convent Ligny-en-Barrois,which he himself had founded.

Joannes Picardus (Joannes de Cambia/Jean de Cantois/Jean Picard, fl. ca. 1490)

OMObs. Born at Lille. Member of the Observant province of Milan. Obtained his licence of theology at the University of Paris in 1487 (12 March 1488?) and incepted as master on 12 January 1488 (1489?) [MS Paris BN Lat 5657-A f. 28r]. As part of his theological teachings he compiled the Thesaurus theologorum in quatuor libris sententiarum correspondens doctorum et magistrorum in sacra pagina professorum decisiones complectens resulutive et in pluribus probative, modo competenti artem sillogizandi non ignorantibus (dedicated to the vicar of the Cismontane province, Jerome Torniello), which was approved on the general Observant chapter of Mantua in 1504. It was printed in Milan in 1506. The work, dedicated to the Vicar General of the Cismontane Observants Jerome Torniello, is a survey of the main theological and theological positions held in Sentences commentaries between the 13th and 15th centuries. It gives excerpts of no less than 33 theological authors (18 Franciscans, 5 Dominicans, 5 Augustinian Hermits, 2 Carmelites, 3 Seculars). Picardus divided the work in four parts, following the divisions and distinctions of Peter Lombard’s Sentences. Most interestingly, the Thesauri theologorum contains statements of several masters whose own commentaries were never published (such as Ugo de Novocastro, Antonius Valentinus, Johan Rodington, Peter of Candia and the Carmelite Hugo Episcopus.[For a more detailed discussion, see the work of Murphy, 220-224. A comparable work on an even larger scale was compiled by Conrad Wimpina (printed in Frankfurt, 1508)] Later in life, Joannes Picardus is found in the Vermandois custody in the French province (1504).

Joannes Pontius (Joannes Poncius/John Punch, 1599-1672/3)

OFMRef. Irish friar from Cork. He moved to Belgium at an early age. Member of the strict observant Hibernia province (in exile), fulfilling his noviciate in St. Antony's College, Louvain. Subsequently, he was educated in Cologne and at the Franciscan college of Louvain (with teachers such as Hugh Ward and John Colgan). Following this, and possibly at the invitation of Wadding, he became active at the San Isidoro college in Rome (1625) as lector of philosophy and (later) theology. In later years, he also lectured in Lyon and Paris. Back in Rome in the 1630s and after, he administered for a while the Ludovisi College (now known as the Pontifical Irish College) devoted to the education of Irish secular priests, and he became guardian and lector at Saint Isidoro, as well as an editorial assistent of Lucas Wadding in the editorial project concerning the works of Scotus. In this period, he began to issue several of his major works and also became involved with several disputes concerning Scotus and the obedience of Irish Catholics.

Joannes Ridevallensis (Joannes Ridevallus/Johannes de Ridevall/Joannes de Musca/John Ridewall/John Ridwall, first half 14th cent.)

OM. English friar, theologian, preacher and magister regens at Oxford ca. 1330 (54th lector of the Franciscan Studium of Oxford 1331/1332). Later active in Basel (1340). Author of several exegetical/theological and moral-mythological works. He wrote, for instance, a Lectura in Apocalypsim (MS Venice, Bibl. Marc. lat. 494 (1790) [?]), of which several fragments have survived and a Commentarius super Fulgentium/Fulgentius Metaforalis, a compilation with allegorical materials for preaching purposes [with attention for poetic representations: poetica pictura, secundum poeticam imaginem, pingitur a poetis etc.], and a commentary on Augustine's De Civitate Dei. He possibly also wrote several commentaries on OT Books and to him is also ascribed a commentary on the Dissuasio Valerii, known as the Hec epistola.

works

Super Psalterium, Super Cantica, In Evangelium S. Joannis, In Epistolas D. Pauli. These biblical commentaries are mentioned in older bibliographical guides but we have not been able to trace them.

Sermones?

Lectura in Apocalypsim: MS Venice, Venice, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Class 1, ms 139, ff. 110-119 [MS lat. 494 (1790) [?]]. This commentary resembles the Apocalypse Commentary of John of Wales.

Commentarius super Mitologiam Fulgentii/Commentarius super Fulgencium: MSS Cambridge University Library, MS Mm I.18; Venice, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, 139, codex F. 121–136;....
For editions, see Fulgentius metaforalis. Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der antiken Mythologie im Mittelalter ed. Hans Liebeschütz (Leipzig-Berlin: Teubner, 1926). It amounts to a mythological-moral treatise, in which, after a first chapter on idolatry, in each chapter a divinity is connected with a virtue: Ydolatria; Saturnus - Prudentia; Jupiter - Benivolencia; Juno - Memoria; Neptunus - Intelligencia; Pluto - Providencia; Apollo - veritas etc. Some manuscript versions of the work also connect specific Roman deities with sins (Ganymedus - Sodomia etc.). It is not dissimilar from the way in which his fellow friar John of Wales and the Dominican Nicholas Trevet used classical lore to create moralizing materials for preaching purposes.

Commentarius super Civitatem Dei Augustini: MSS, Oxford, Corpus Christi 186 and 187; Berlin, Staatsbibl. Theol. lat. fd 581 b.

Joannes Rigaldus (Johannes Rigaldi/Joannes Coraldus/Jean Rigaud, d. 1323)

OM. French Franciscan friar from the Limoges (probably entered the order in the Limoges convent). Known to have made a pilgrimage to the Portiuncola in Assisi in 1301. Provincial minister of the Provence (ca. 1305) and opponent of the Spirituals. Pontifical penitentiary of Pope John XXII, and appointed bishop of Tréguier by the latter (21-02, 1317). On 15 May 1322, Pope John XXII gave Jean permission to make his testament [cf. Wadding, Annales Minorum VI³, 460 (an. 1322, no. 72)]. Jean died in Avignon, before 16 September 1323.

In some of the manuscripts, the work is dedicated to Berengarius Frédol (Bérengar Frédol), bishop of Frascati and papal penitentiary, himself the author of a Summa de Confessione.
The text of Rigaud has been edited in: K. Legrand, Le Formula confessionis de Jean Rigaud, PhD. Thesis (Université de Toulouse, 1998). On the basis of mss BAV Lat. 1161, London, British Library Arundell 379 and Barcelona, Archives of the Crown of Aragon Ripoll 175, A. Teetaert already made an edition of the prologue in his article ‘La ‘Formula Confessionum’ du Frère Mineur Jean Rigaud (d. 1323)’, in: Miscellanea Historica in Honorem Alberti de Meyer (Louvain-Brussels, 1946), II, 651-676 (pp. 660-661). In this prologue, Jean announces (among other things): ‘Idcirco hec formula (…) sex partes habebit. Prima pars erit de hiis que confessionem debent precedere. Secunda de hiis que habent confessionem comitari. Tertia de hiis que confessio complectitur. Quarta de hiis que ipsam confessionem consequuntur.Quinta de hiis propter que confessio iteratur. Sexta continebit unum confiteor, quod docebit confiteri iuxta istam formulam et ad quandam brevitatem per illud hec formula reducetur. Advertat autem quilibet, qui legerit ordinem dicendorum, quod de illis peccatis solum confiteatur, in quibus eum sua conscientia onerabit vel accusabit, et illa taceat in sua confessione, in quibus se iudicavit innocentem.’ Teetaert (1946), 662 also provides an edition of the first rubriques after the prologue and the titles of the various individual‘chapters’ of the Formula Confessionum. In all, it contains 26 ‘chapters’. The first 22 of these (De quinque sensibus, De peccatis mortalibus, De superbia, De avaritia, De luxuria, De invidia, De gula, De ira, De accidia, De decem preceptis, Secunda tabula decem preceptorum, De operibus misericordie, De virtutibus, De fide, De spe que est secunda virtus, De VII sacramentis, De caritate, De virtutibus cardinalibus, De temperantia, De fortitudine, De iustitia, De circumstantiis peccatorum aggravantibus) deal with the first three elements (de hiis que confessionem debent precedere, de hiis que habent confessionem comitari, & de hiis que confessio complectitur). The fourth part (de hiis que ipsam confessionem consequuntur) is dealt with in the ‘chapters’ De restitutione and De satisfactione. The fifth part receives one chapter (Propter que debet confession iterari), emphasising frequent confession. The sixth part is an abbreviation and recapitulation (Confessio generalis sub compendio replicans omnia supradicta). It is clear that Jean defends the confession practices of the mendicant orders. It also is clear that the work has a very practical character. Jean presents confession as spiritual medicine: ‘Vide igitur, fili, quod confessio est quedam medecina. Medecina autem sumitur ad quatuor. Primo ad separationem, collectionem et digestionem humorum corruptorum et nocivorum. Secunda ad purgationem malorum humorum presentium et preteritorum. Tertio ad preservationem malorum humorum, ne in corpore generentur. Quarto ad confectionem meritorum et virtutum.’ Jean apparently compiled his Formula Confessionum in response to the desires of an unknown penitent. With this text, Jean tried to provide this penitent (and penitents in general) with the means to engage in fruitful confession. To facilitate memorisation of important elements, Jean included rhymes (such as: ‘Sit simplex, humilis confessio, pura, fidelis/Atque frequens, nuda, discreta, libens, verecunda,/Integra, secreta, lacrymabilis, accelerata,/Fortis et accusans, et parere parata.’ Cf. Teetaert (1946), 668-669, note 6) For the use of penitents and priests engaged in confession, this Formula Confessionum soon was given a complete versified abstract, namely a Confessionale Metricum (MS Prague Univ. 2040 ff. 158v-169v (??)), making it possible for the penitent to learn by heart and to recite more easily all the constituting elements of a good confession. For a pastoral analysis of the work, see also N. Valois, ‘Jean Rigaud, Frère Mineur’, Histoire littéraire de la France 34 (1914), 286-291. Teetaert (1946), 674ff. mentions another Formula Confessionum attributed to Jean Rigaud (a.o. London, British Library MS Arundel, 379 ff. 23r-26r and in several other mss), but it seems that this ascription is false. An early modern edition of the Formula Confessionis (Mainz, 1673), is actually not Jean Rigaud’s Formula, but the Summa de Poenitentia of John of Wales.

Joannes Rodriguez (Juan Rodríguez del Padrón o de la Cámara, fl. 1444)

OM. Spanish friar from the Santiago province. Was a soldier and a troubadour in his secular life, as well as secretary of Cardinal Juan de Cervantes at the Council of Basel (1432), before he took the Franciscan habit during a voyage/pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1441, and subsequently became a member of the San Antonio de Herbón friary, not far from the town of his birth (Padrón). He is foremost known for the Siervo libre de amor (1439), the Cadira de Honor (ca. 1440), and the Triunfo de las donas (ca. 1445/1438-1441?), which argues against the misogynist literary works of contemporaries. But he also wrote other works.

Joannes Roethaw (d. 1495, Leipzig)

OM. German friar from Leipzig. Studied philosophy and theology in Magdeburg (ca. 1454), Erfurt und Leipzig. Matriculated at Leipzig university in 1480 (alongside of Ludwig von Segen, Paulus Carnificis and Johannes Roder) for the degree program. Sententiarius in Leipzig in 1482, and shortly thereafter Doctor of theology. Provincial Vicar of Saxonia in 1485, and magister regens at the Franciscan studium of Erfurt in 1488. Very interesting are Roethaw's remarks on academic usages and activities in the Franciscan study houses of Magdeburg, Leipzig, Erfurt and in the convents of Prenzlau, Halberstadt and Berlin (cf. L. Meier, 'De scientifica fratris Ioannis Roethaw OFM activitate', Studi Francescani 7 (1935), 284-297; Schlageter (2015), 515-516), which can be found in MS Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek 1525, ff. 1-140, 230-240, 244-254, 289-299, 359), showing him as a user and revisor in teaching contexts of the Lombardus metricus ascribed to Helwich of Magdeburg. Roethaw was involved with the (Martinian?) reform of the Franciscan friary of Wittenberg, which had been discredited by bad behavior of its members.

Joannes Royaert (Joannes Royardus/Joannes Rojardus/Jan Royaerts, c. 1476 - 1547)

OFM. Belgian (Flemish) friar. Born in Audenaarde. Active in Ghent in the early 1520s, where he witnessed the burning of Lutheran books on 25 July, 1521, and where he disputed with supporters of Lutheranism, such as the baker Lieven de Zomere. Edited the same year a Dutch translation of the Sorbonne verdict against Luther. In 1533, he apparently was active in Ieper/Ypre, where he ran into conflict with the city council after he criticised urban measures against public begging in a pamflet/booklet, which he was forced to retract. Several times provincial minister of the Flemish province, as well as special commissioner in Scotland (1535-1536) for minister general Vincentius Lunello, as well as guardian in Ypres, Sluis and Duinkerken (Dunkirque). However, most of his adult life in the order he spent in Bruges as lector (between 1533 and 1545 regularly mentioned as lector of the Franciscan school of Bruges) and preacher. He died there April 3, 1547, and was buried in the church of the Minorite convent. On request of his provincial Matthias Weynsen he published from 1535 onwards several series of sermon collections that he had produced for himself and his immediate pupils. The published collections, issued in Antwerp and Paris, dedicated to Matthias Weynsen and/or Joannes de Haia, and directed to the use of homiletic practitioners, mean to provide doctrinally safe sermons. Joannes explicitly denies any originality, stressing that he is merely inspired by accepted theological authority, and especially by authors like Augustine, Bede, Rupert of Deutz, Bernard of Clairvaux and other authorities of the via antiqua. These sermon collections, which in a way were a traditional catholic answer to Lutheran novelties (and defended several catholic practices, such as the veneration of saints), had a considerable success in the 1530s to 1560s

OM. French friar. Probably born in La Rochelle during the last decade of the 12th century. Master of arts at Paris, and subsequently master of theology under William of Auxerre and Philip the Chancellor. Entered the order between 1236 and 1238 [cf. CHUP I, 158, no. 1889]. Became pupil and collaborator of Alexander Halensis.Co-regent with Alexander of Hales at the Franciscan Studium of Paris between 1238-1245. He died in february 1245 (in Lyon or La Rochelle). John proved to be an influential philosopher with a good knowledge of Aristotle (see his De Anima commentary) as well as an influentual theologian within the Franciscan order (collaboration with Alexander of Hales, which can be seen in the Summa Halensis, as well as a range of independent doctrinal and moral theological works, sermons, etc.). For a quick characterisation of his theological style (a theology of sapientia), see the lemma of Brady in DSpir VIII, 601-602. ToJean de La Rochelle can be ascribed a Sentences commentary, a Summa de Anima, sermons, several summae of moral theology, a significant number of theological quaestiones, a Generalis introitus ad sacram doctrinam/Introitus in Pentateucum (one and the same work), and a number of biblical commentaries (Num, Job, In Salomonem, Isaia, Jeremiah, Ezra, Daniel, XII Proph.. Math, Marc, Luc, Rom, I Cor., II Cor., Gal., Eph., Philip., Coloss., I.Thess., I. Tim., II Tim., Tit., Philem., Hebr., Apoc.) He also wrote in collaboration with three other Franciscan masters of theology the Regula IVorum magistrorum, which was presented at the general chapter of Bologna (1242).

[Taken from his Sermones de Sanctis. For manuscripts of these sermon series, see above. Joannes Rupella gave these sermons at Paris, within ten years after Anthony’s death. The editor, Balduinus ab Amsterdam, writes (p. 35): ‘…in his sermonibus generatim observantur eae regulae, secundum quas sermo, in unico textu biblico fundatus, sit evolvendus iuxta doctrinam, quam Rupellensis in suo tractatu, cui titulus Processus negociandi themata sermonum, exposuit.’ With regard to the theme of these Anthony sermons, our editor remarks (p. 36):‘Thema quod in quovis sermone evolvitur est ubique idem. Etenim, textu ex S.Scriptura praemisso et S. Antonio applicato, demonstratur S. Patavinum propter eximiam suam sanctitatem et vastissimam ac profundissimam sacrae doctrinae cognitionem devenisse acerrimum illum et illustrissimum catholicae fidei defensorem ac expositorem, ab omnibus, qui ad religionis propagationem et defensionem vocantur, exemplar splendidissimum imitandum.’]

Joannes Ryckes (John Rix/Ryckes, fl. early sixteenth cent.)

OFM. English Observant friar and preacher. Member of the Franciscan Observant community at Greenwich. At a rather advanced age, he felt somewhat attracted to Erasmian and evangelical currents, which resulted in the publication of the booklet The Ymage of Love (1525), which he addressed to the nuns of Syon's abbey. The work, which downplays the importance of external acts of faith (fasting and all kind of devotional observances) and emphasized interior religion, elicited a strong reaction by the bishop of London, Cuthbert Tunstall. He apparently stayed within the Catholic fold.

Joannes Schmid (Johannes Fabry, d. in or after 1462)

OM. German friar. Novice master in Elmendingen near Pforzheim. Collector of manuscripts and compiler of historical notices regarding the history of South and South-West Germany. He left the Elmendingen convent in1443, when the Observance came in. Probably went to Rottenburgh o.d. T., where he can be traced in 1455. He spent his last years in Würzburg, to which convent he left his manuscripts.

works

Historical notes: The most important of Schmid’s historical notices on South/South-West Germany were kept in MSS Würzburg Franziskanerkloster cod. I 90; cod. I 100; III 43. These manuscripts were burnt in 1945. Part of their content is saved through the partial editions found in the work of Haupt. Several of the surviving 56 manuscripts of the Würzburg library (out of the c. 150 manuscripts that made up the medieval library) originally might have been in Schmid’s posession. More research in this matter is needed. For a description of the manuscripts in the medieval Würzburg library, see L. Meier, in: AFH 44 (1951), 191.

Joannes Silvestris (Jean Sauvage, d. after 1514)

OMObs. French Observant friar. Guardian of Séez and provincial vicar of the French Observant vicariate in and after 1498. In 1510, he disputed in the Parliament of Paris with Boniface de Ceva, the provincial minister of the French province, who wanted to restore the unity within the order. Around 1520, a work of Jean Sauvage was published, which amounted to a treatise of love mysticism and explaining how to obtain ever higher levels of mystical prowess, until the sixth level of love.

works

L'eschelle d'amour divine (Paris: Veusve feu Jehan Trepperel et Jehannot, s.a. [ca. 1520]). The work was apparently also published together with another text: Le jardin spiritual de lame devote. Thus far, we have not been able to find information about the whereabouts of Jean's work.

Joannes Sintram (Joannes Sintram de Herbipoli, c. 1380- 1450)

OM. German friar, active in the Bavarian province. Born in Würzburg. Entered the Order c. 1400. Studies in Regensburg (1403-04), Ulm (1405), Straßbourg (1408), and Oxford (1412). Lector in Reutlingen (1415), Cologne (1415), Hall (Schwaben, 1415-16), Paris (1421, after some time spent in Augsburg), Colmar (1420-1421), Esslingen and Augsburg (1422). Lector and preacher in Würzburg (1425-27) and Ulm (1428). Attested in Zabelstein in 1433 (where he copied a breviary) and Schloß Schwarzenberg in 1435 (where he apparently was active as lector, and where he copied. Die 24 Alten of Otto von Passau). Again lector in Würzburg in 1437 and guardian in the same convent in 1437. In 1444 he handed over no less than 61 manuscripts to the Franciscan convent of Würzburg, where they were chained on four lecterns in the public library. Died in 1450 in the Würzburg convent.
Nigel Palmer remarks: ‘Seine Bedeutung für die Literatur- und Ordensgeschichte besteht darin, daß er im Laufe seines Studiums und während seiner Tätigkeit als Lektor und Prediger eine große Sammlung von handschriftlichen Predigtmaterialen anlegte, die er zu einem nicht geringen Teil selber geschrieben hatte und deren Glossen, Marginalien und Ergänzungen einen Einblick in die Arbeitsweise eines engagierten Minoritenpredigers vermitteln.’ [Verfasserlexikon VIII², 1284]
Aside from the many manuscripts collected by him, many of which contain glosses, verses, sermons, and remarks by Sintram, he allegedly also composed a range of treatises that have not survived (such as: De sensu composito et diviso, Tractatus de terminis, Tractatus de nominibus verbalibus, Sermo De nativitate Christi, etc.)

Joannes Thenaus (Jean Thénaud/Thenaud, fl. first half 16th cent.)

OM & OFM. French friar from Poitiers. Theologian and cabbalist. Born around 1480 in la Châtellenie de Melle (Poitou). Studied arts and theology and at the end of the 15th century a member of the Franciscan friary of Angoulême. He became a member of the household of Louise of Savoye, mother of King Francis I of France. At the court of Angoulême, Jean became acquainted with humanist circles and he began to develop historical, geneaological, cabbalistic and astrological interests. He wrote for Louise of Savoye and her son François La Marguerite de France (1509) and Le Triomphe des vertuz, which amounts to a 2 volumes and 4 treatises long prince's mirror, with as separate titles Le triomphe de Prudence & Le triomphe de Force (presented to François I in 1517) and Le triomphe de Justice & Le triomphe de temperance. The second volume was never published. In the first part of Le Triomphe des vertuzhe also incorporated lenghy elements from Erasmus' Praise of Folly (Encomium Moriae), and he can therefore be considered the first translator of that work in French. The work has also links with some later works by Rabelais. A year later. the friary received some of the royal gardens of Angoulême as a present. Asked by Louise de Savoye to accompany the French ambassador André le Roy on a mission to the Sultan of Egypt, and in this context Jean also traveled to the Holy Land and wrote a travel account of the experience (issued between 1525 and 1530). In 1514, Jean, back in France, was made guardian of the Angoulême friary. Yet he kept in touch with the French court and edited for François I La saincte et très chrestïenne cabale metrifiée, which Jean offered to the king in 1519. In this work, the author claims that Christians are the only true cabbalists (unlike their Jewish examples and rivals) as they search the Scriptures in the light of the Gospel message. By 1529, Jean had apparently left the order, for he is then found as abbot of Mélinais, a position that he kept with royal support and papal approval until his death after 1545. He combined his abbatiate with the position of royal almoner, and he wrote in the mid 1530s the astrological Le Genealitique de la tressacrée maieste du Roy treschretien, which discusses the planetary influences at work on the French King since his conception and birth.

Joannes Tissington (John Tissington, d. 1395)

OMConv. English friar and a known opponent of Wyclif. Regent master at Oxford in 1382 (in that capacity he also participated in a Lollard trial the same year), and 27th provincial minister of the English province in 1392 (in which capacity he attended the Council of Stamford). He died in 1395 and was buried in the Greyfriars friary of London.

Joannes Vincentius Antonius Ganganelli (Giovanni Vincenzo Antonio Ganganelli, Pope Clement XIV, 1705-1774)

OFMConv. Italian friar and pope. Born in Santarcangelo di Romagna. He was educated by the Jesuits of Rimini and by the Piarists of Urbino. At the age of nineteen, in 1724, he entered the Conventual branch of the Franciscan order, taking the name Lorenzo Francesco. General definitor by 1741. He befriended pope Benedict XIV and in 1758, he was asked by this pope to investigate the recurring blood libel accusations against the Jews, demonstrating their fallacious origin. Made Cardinal-Priest of San Lorenzo in Panisperna in 1759 by Pope Clement XIII (with full support of the Jesuit general Lorenzo Ricci, Ganganelli was elected pope himself on 19 May 1769. Keen to re-establish good contacts with the Catholic monarchs of his day (notably the Bourbon Kings of France and the Austrian Emperor) and in need of their help to refurbish the papal hold over the papal state, Ganganelli turned against his Jesuit friends and supporters of old and gave in to the lobby of France and Austria to suppress the Jesuit order. Ganganelli’s decree to that purpose was issued in 1773. A year later, the pope died after a prolongued sickness. According to rumours, his death was caused by poisoning.

Joannes Vitalis (Juan Vidal, fl. 14th cent.)

OM. Spanish friar. Member of the Castilian province (which according to Baluze supported the antipope Clement VII in 1380). Master of theology at Paris in 1387. During his magisterium, he composed a Defensorium pro Immunitate V. Mariae a Peccato Originali, Adversus Joannem de Montesono (against the Dominican friar Jean de Monzon). On 8 December 1389, he preached before the university of Paris on the immaculate conception of Mary (Sermo de Conceptione Gloriosae Virginis Genetricis Dei/Sermo de Immaculata Conceptione). On 8 September 1390, Juan Vidal participated in the retraction of the Dominican Jean Nicolai (who, like Jean de Monzon, had declared the opinion of the immaculate conception heretical) [CHUP III, n. 1579]. Juan Vidal was still active at Paris on 25 February 1394 [CHUP III, n. 1679]. In 1395, he was active as provincial minister of Castile. In Sevilla, he gave the Franciscan friars Juan de Cetina and Pedro de Dueñas permission to preach the Gospel in Marocco (where they were martyred in 1397). Juan died sometime around 1400.

Haselbeck, `Die älteste gedruckte Franziskanerpredigt über die unbefleckte Empfängnis', Franziskanische Studien 8 (1921), 283-292. The sermon also contains an allegory, which decribes how the King of heaven celebrates a ‘Festum Tabernaculorum’. In this ‘feast’, the various ‘Tabernaculi’ symbolise the soul, the body, and the various perfections of Mary etc. The King of Heaven also proclaims Mary’s immaculate conception.

Joannes Vitrier (Joannes Vitrarius/Jean Voirier/Jean Verier/Jean Vitrier, ca. 1456-1519)

OMObs. Belgian friar. Born in a family of clothmakers from St.Omer. According to a letter by Erasmus (nr. 1211, ed. Allen), he entered the Franciscan convent of Saint-Omer at an early age. He studied in Louvain, first arts, later maybe also theology. Between 1486-88 guardian of the convent of the observants of Namur, where he became embroiled in conflicts with the conventuals. In 1500, he was guardian of St. Omer. His name is connected to three controversies. First of all, in 1498, he got into trouble about his sermons, in which he had argued against non-reformed houses, the licentiousness of canons and other clerics, and against superstitious practices in the cult of saints. 16 positions in his sermons were censored by the theological faculty of Paris. It is not known how this conflict ended. The second conflict arose as a result of his protests against the preaching of general indulgences in 1500 (indulgences for the jubilee). Joannes called the general indulgence simoniacal. Joannes was twice excommunicated and brought before a diocesal tribunal. Eventually, he was exonerated. The third conflict concerned his attempt to reform the convent of St. Marguerite at St. Omer in 1501. Erasmus, who met Vitrier for the first time in 1501, and eventually came on very friendly footing with this observant friar, describes (letter 1211) that Vitrier, who had tried to chase away 8 recalcitrant sisters, even narrowly escaped an attempt of murder. Joannes was heir to the Franciscan spiritualism of the fourteenth century, including its joachimist inclinations (which showed in his sermons and also influenced his stance on the conversion of the peoples in the New World). He also was renowned for his textual scholarship on Origines (he would have influenced Erasmus in taking up the study of Origenes and possibly was instrumental in enticing Erasmus to complete his Enchiridion Militis Christiani). Vitrier was forced to resign from his charge as guardian in 1502 and had to defend himself against allegations of heresy, induced by the Dominican Jean Vasseur (who accused him of acting with heretics and showing contempt for eccclesiastical ceremonies, scholastic authority and indulgences). Up till 1507 he remained active as confessor and preacher for the Poor Clares of St. Omer. Thereafter he was sent to Courtrai, to act as almoner for a small convent of female religious. Erasmus testifies that he was an important evangelical preacher. Of his works, we still have the 16 condemned prepositions of his Tournai preaching, his exposition on the beatitudes, ca. 20 sermons from St. Omer, commentaries on and translations of the fathers.

Joannes Vitreatoris (Jan Szklarek/Jan z Dobczyc/Ioannes de Dobczyce/ Jan Vitreatoris/ Jan Zasannski/ Jan of Trzemessnia/ Jan of Cracowca, ca. 1450–1515)

OMObs. Polish Observant friar. Probably born around 1450 as the oldest of eight children in a family of glaziers. One of his brothers was Leonardus de Dobczyce, who later became an important astronomer at the university of Cracow. Jan Szklarek was inscribed at the university of Cracow by 1468 and obtained the baccalaureate in the arts in 1471, and a master of arts in 1474. After teaching at the university of Cracow, he joined the Observants (Bernardines), possible after having been for some time already a secular priest. After his transfer to Poznan, he became a novice master in 1480, possibly also acting as vicar of his house. From this period stemms Jan Szklarek's Summula aurea brevissima de profectu noviciorum. Later, he became active as provincial discretus (1486) and as provincial vicar (elected at the Observant provincial chapter of Cracow (October 1493). Possibly prior to that also guardian of the Poznan house. He remained provincial vicar until Summer 1496. He also fulfilled a stint as lector for the provincia Poloniae minoris, and was again elected provincial vicar in 1499, to resign at the provincial chapter in Kobylin in 1502. As lector and provincial, Jan Szklarek brought to bear his theogical and legal expertise on disputes concerning the rebaptism of Ruthenians, following the line of the Council of Florence (opposed to second baptism), and he also fulfilled tasks as negotiator on behalf of Giacomo da Mantova, general secretary of the Observant Franciscans sub vicariis. In 1503-1504, Szklarek was in Stradom (Cracow), where - apparently at the request of his superior, either Lukasz of Rydzyna (Observant provincial around 1503–1504), or Stanislaw of Slapy - he wrote his Opusculum de arte memorativa for his fellow friars. This manual, based on 20 years of teaching and preaching experience with ars memoriae-techniques, was printed as an anonymous work by Caspar Hochfeder in 1504. Jan Szklarek thereafter lived out his life in the convent of Poznan, where he was the first lector of scholastic theology at the local theology college (founded in 1509). He still appears in notarial acts concerning the dowager Queen Helen (1476-1513), to die on 18 October 1515, as a plague victim. he was buried in the church of Mary Magdalene.

In 1539, he was appointed cathedral preacher in Mainz, where he gave long morning and afternoon sermons on sun- and feastdays, in between an administrative stint as provincial definitor. He also preached on the diocesan synod of Mainz (1548) and during the Franciscan provincial chaper of 1549 (also in Mainz). In 1541, the Archbishop of Mainz enlisted his support for a committee destined to promote ecclesiastical reforms. From 1548 onwards, Johan became guardian of the Mainz convent. Due to Johan’s openmindedness, he was even relatively well-regarded by several Protestant spokesman end their protectors. This would have saved Mainz cathedral and parts of the town from devastation by the armies of Markgraf Albert of Brandenburg-Culmbach in 1552. Johan Wild died on 8 September 1554 and was buried before the main altar of the Franciscan convent church in Mainz.
In the course of his long preaching career, during which he had provided complete exegetical forrays into the Old and New Testament, Johan Wild had collected a lot of homiletic materials. Several friars and also the archbishop of Mainz, Prince-Elect Sebastian von Heusenstamm, urged that Johan should publish these materials. Eventually, and with the help of his friend Philip Agricola, a local priest, Johan prepared his many notes for publication. Due to the religious climate, several of these writings received ecclesiastical censure. Eventually, some of his writings therefore ended on the index, whereas many others received purged editions in the course of the sixteenth century [For the details, see H.-M. Stamm, ‘Wild’, DSpir XVI, 1437-1438], as well as the 2016 and 2018 studies of Delcorno. At the same time, his published writings (purged and non-purged) had a considerable success. Aside from his many sermon collections on biblical books and on themes related to the readings for Sun- and feastdays, he also published several prayer books and books for the examination of the soul.

Joannes Ximenez (Joannes Ximenes/Juan Ximenez/Juan Jiménez/Juan Ximeno/Juan Jimeno, d. 1628)

OFMDisc. Spanish friar. Member of the San Juan Bautista province. Theology lector, guardian of the San Juan de la Ribera de Valencia friary and provincial minister. Active in guiding lay confraternities. He would have died on 23 February 1628 in Ayora. Juan de San Antonio and Sbaralea distinguish another Juan Ximeno from Valencia, who would have died some 15 years later, who was also a member of the Discalceate San Juan Bautista province, guardian of the San Juan de la Ribera friary, and a consultant for the inquisition, and likewise was an author of various works. We think for now that Juan Ximenez and Juan Ximeno are one and the same person.

works

Chronicon del B. Fray P. Baylon de la Orden del P. S. Francisco (Valencia, 1601). Hence an editorial activity.

Examen de los casos ocurrentes en el articulo de la muerte (Valencia, 1600/Valencia: Juan Bautista Marçal, 1636).

See: https://digibug.ugr.es/handle/10481/17272 ], the Biblioteca de Catalunya in Barcelona (the 1636 edition), and via Google Books (the 1636 edition). This might be the work of a namesake friar Juan Ximeno [check].

Juan de San Antonio and Sbaralea mention a number of unedited works as well (commentaries on aristotelian logic, a thomist summa theologicae, a work on raptures and revelations, works on the cure of souls, a summa theologiae moralis, a life of Andreas Hibernon, a range of biblical commentaries and no less than 22 volumes of sermons), yet we have not been able to ascertain their whereabouts. If Juan Ximenez and Juan Ximeno are one and the same person, he also would have left behind another unedited Manuale Theologicum (1619), a work of exercises on rule observance, as well as an examination of the revelations of the nun Francisca Lopez del Santissimo Sacramento.

Jodocus Gartner de Berching (ca. 1400 - after 1451)

OM. German friar; theologian. Born in Berching (Eichstadt diocese, between Regensburg and Nuremberg ). Went to Vienna University to study the liberal arts and became magister regens of the arts faculty in 1424.

In the early 1440s he started a degree study of theology. Between 1441 and 1445 he is listed as Baccalaureus, and in 1451 he is mentioned as licentiatus and as doctor theologiae. During his studies of theology, he remained active in university management, witness his position of rector magnificus in 1441, 1445, and 1451.

Jordanus de Yano (Jordanes de Yano/Giordano da Giano, c. 1195-after 1262)

OM. Italian friar. Joined the order around 1217/18, and in any case before the Summer of 1219. Was one of the friars selected to go to Germany on the General Chapter of 1221 (the group also included Caesarius of Speyer). In Germany, he was ordained priest in 1223. First custos of Thüringen between 1224-1239. Later active as provincial vicar in Bohemia and Poland and shortly provincial minister of Saxony (c. 1242). In 1262, he participated in the provincial chapter of Halberstadt. After that date, he disappears from view. Author of a ‘provincial’ order chronicle in the form of annals, running in 78 chapters from 1209 tot 1262. The chronicle contain Jordan’s memoirs of his life in the order and in particular in the German lands between 1219 and 1239. The work was probably dictated to his secretary Baldawinus/Balduinus of Brandenburgh.

Contains all 78 chapters of the original chronicle); MS Leipzig, UB 1525 (so-called 'Epitome Lipsiensis' fragments, compiled by Johannes Roethaw between 1454 and 1456). For more information on these manuscripts, see the studies of Schlageter and Honemann. Jordanus' chronicle was later also used for the creation of the so-called Chronica Anonyma Provinciae Saxoniae that Wadding ascribed to Balduin von Braunsweig. See on this the 1885 study of Denifle.

Jorge Lezcano (ca. 1560-ca. 1630)

OFM. Spanish friar from Cazorla. He went to America to become ascalde mayor or alguacil mayor of Sonsonate. Due to his predilection for jokes and satyre, he gained enemies and was confronted with a series of legal proceedings, in the course of which he was even temporarily imprisoned in Guatemala. Although he was acquited, he felt sufficiently at odds with the world to join the Franciscans. He took the habit in the Guatemala friary by 1585. Partly thanks to his prowess in languages, he was soon accepted for ordination. By 1603, he was the guardian of the Almolonga friary. The remainder of his year he fulfilled several guardianships, as well as missionary assignments.

Josephus Antonius Goicoecha (José Antonio Goicoecha/Licornes/el viejo Licornes/de Liendo y Goicoechea, 1735-1814)

OFM. Spanish Franciscan missionary, historian, theologian and scientist. He was born in Orduña, Biscaye region, as the oldest of four sons of the notary and author don Luis Fernando de Liendo y Goicoechea (1670-1743) and doña Baltazara de Inza. After the death of his parents, he was sent for his education to Guatemala. There, he entered the Franciscan order as a young pupil in 1747, taking his profession some four years later, in 1751. He became an important scholar in a wide range of scholarly fields, also teaching theology at the San Francisco of Ciudad Real friary (present-day San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Southern Mexico) from 1767 onwards, and later, in the 1770s/1780s, he became professor of theology at the university of Guatemala. He had a sufficient reputation as a preacher, all-round educator and social spokesman to become an advisor for the Holy Office and to be consulted on public matters by the colonial government. He also was several times provincial definitor, starting his first stint in April 1774. He had a falling out with the Archbishop Cayetano Francos y Monroy, who demanded the expulsion of the Franciscan friar Fernando Barroeta, who had been accused of power abuse in his missionary station. This led to a temporary excommunication of Goicoecha. Throughout his career he collected books and scientific instruments and wrote a significant number of scholarly works. In the 1780s and 1790s, he also worked on behalf of curricular innovations in matters of organic chemistry, experimental physics, mathematics and medicine in university education, much to the dissatisfaction of proponents of traditional scholasticism; he was a propagator of agricultural diversication, taking a stance against monocultures, and wrote on (in part forceful) ways to curb mendicancy and improductivity. As a provincial of Guatemala (after 1802), he visited the friaries in his province and he worked as a missionary among non-Christian aboriginal groups in Comayagua. He died on July 2, 1814.

Josephus Ballereus (Joseph Le Balleur, d. 1700)

OFM. French friar from Sablé. Entered the order in te Tours province. Absolved a full course in theology and became a theology lector. By 1667 he was the guardian of the La Rochelle friary. In January of that year, he was asked by the Franciscan minister general to reform the Grand Couvent de Paris, which was split by dissent and lack of religious observance. With Royal permission from Louis XIV, Joseph and a small team of collaborators (among whom were the Sorbonne Professor Gaston Chamillart and the Chancellor the University of Paris) tried to impose a new regime on the Grand Couvent. But these attempts were thwarted by the guardian Berrand Pinault and a number of provincial ministers opposed to this kind of outside interference. The end result was that he was ordered in 1670 by the Franciscan minister general to return to his province. Three years later, in July 1673, Pope Clement X asked him to take part in a committee of four commissioners to prepare more wide-ranging order reforms. Late in life, he also was provincial of the Touraine province. In between his various assignments, Joseph Le Balleur was confessor of the Annonciade monastery of Bourges. He edited for the nuns a version of the Rule, complete with additional statutes, commentaries and liturgical explanations. This conglomerate was published in 1681.

After a number of years, he had to go back to Spain to defend Capuchin missionary methods and actions before the Spanish court and at the papal curia.

Josephus de Copertino (Giuseppe da Copertino,1603-1663) Sanctus

OFMConv. Italian friar from Copertino. Born at June 17, 1603 in a poor family. In bad health as a child. Entered the Capuchins as a converso, yet the Capuchins decided that he was not equipped for the Capuchin life. In 1625, his maternal oncle, a member of the Conventual community of La Grotella near Copertino, made possible for Giuseppe to join his community. There, Giuseppe reached priestly ordination on March 18, 1628, embarking on a ministry career. Known for his saintly life and levitations. The papal inquisition was suspicious of these levitation claims, and had him under scrutiny between 1626 and 1639. Once acquited, he was accepted into the Conventual community of the Sacro Convento, Assisi, where he stayed until 1654. In that convent, he met Frederick of Saxony (Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg), and convinced him to abjure Lutheranism. As his lifestyle and testimonies of his levitations gave rise to curiosity, he was sent to an isolated hermitage of the Capuchins in the Marches of Ancona (1654-1657, first at Pietrarubbia, and subsequently at Fossombrone). In 1657, he returned to the Conventual community at Osimo, where he spent the remainder of his life in his cell, to die on 18 September 1663. He was beatified by Benedict XIV in 1753 and canonised in 1767 by Clement XIII. His burial site in the church crypt of Osimo became a pilgrimage site (also patron saint of airplane pilots). Left behind some Detti e proverbi.

Josephus de Ferno (Joseph a Ferno/Giuseppe Piantanida da Ferno/Giuseppe da Milano, 1485-1556)

OFMObs & OFMCap. Italian friar. Born at Ferno, around 1485. Entered the Observants at the age of nineteen. Went through the order’s educational system and became professor of theology. At the same time, he developed into a well-esteemed preacher. By the end of 1535, he transferred to the new Capuchin order, together with his brother Angelo and some three other Observant friars. As a Capuchin (initially in the Milan province), Giuseppe continued his ministry, focusing on the development of a lay culture of prayer in the towns of Italy (Milan, Pavia, Gubbio, Borgo Sansepolcro, Siena etc.), promoting as one of the first the so-called Quarantore prayer marathons. Also active in catechistic teachings, founding special schools for catechistic instruction of orphans and other children at Pavia, Modena, Genoa etc. Giuseppe also played an important role in the order itself. He was three-times provincial vicar for the Bologna province (1541-1542, 1546-1548, 1552-1554), and one-time provincial vicar for Corsica (1543). He was general definitor between 1549 and 1555. As a friend of Antonio Maria Zaccaria, Giuseppe also became involved with the fondation of the Barnabites, helping the religious formation of newcomers to that order, and he lent his support to various other new religious congregations.

Josephus de Madrid (Josepho de Madrid, fl. first half 18th cent.)

OFMDisc. Spanish friar. We are, in fact, dealing with two Discalceate friars with the same name from the same province and from more or less the same period. One of these friars was provincial minister of the San José province and also active as assistant for the general procurator for the Discalceati and Recollects in Rome. During that time he also taught at the friary of San Pedro de Alcantara (de la Ambrosiana). Known for several Italian and Spanish works. The other friar, who apparently died in 1732, was lector and provincial definitor of the San José province. The titles marked with an * are probably the work of this latter friar.

Juan de San Antonio also asserts that the friar active in Rome wrote a treatise against a priest who had suggested that the Church had condemned the notion that Francis was the Angel announced by the Apocalyps. We have not yet been able to trace that work.

Josephus de Modena (Giuseppe da Modena/Giuseppe Maria Filippo Monari, 1676-1725)

OFMCap. Italian friar. Took the habit on May 22, 1696 at Carpi (near Modena) in the Capuchin Parma province. In 1711, he was sent as a missionary to the Congo-Angola missions, arriving at Luanda in February 1713. Until 1716, he was active in the Soyo/Sonho region. Thereafter, until his return to Europe in 1720, he worked in other regions of The Congo-Angola mission. In 1720, he was for a short while back in Europe (Lisbon), but received another missionary commission in Congo-Angola as apostolic prefect. He died in Angola, near Kaenda, on June 17, 1725. Author of various missionary/ethnographical works. Most famous among these is his Viaggio al Congo from 1723, which tells in four books and 28 chapters about the geography, the ethnography and the politics of the Congo/Angola regions. This work, kept in the Biblioteca Estense (Modena), has only received partial editions.

Opera utile non meno a persone negozianti e benestanti, che a'reverendi confessori di F. Giuseppe Felice Bartolini di Mondolfo (Acona: Pietro Paolo Ferri, 1751/3rd in 2 Vols.

Processo contro l'amor profano fra persone di vario sesso (Ancona: Pietro Paolo Ferri, 1768). Accessible via the National Library in Rome and via Google Books. In part based on Gli amori tra persone di sesso diverso disaminati co’principj della morale teologia by the regular cleric Gerolamo Dal Portico (member of the Congregazione dei chierici della Madre di Dio), but more accessible and directed at lay people and simple confessors.

Istruzione pratica indirizzata ai Parrochi e Confessori per bene istruire coloro, che vogliono prendere lo stato matrimoniale, overo Morale Cristiana indirizzata a'Parrochi e Confessori. Per illuminare quelli, che chiamati, si sentono allo stato di Matrimonio (Osimo: Domenico Antonio Quercetti, 1773). Also known as Pratica Istruzione pe’novelli sposi ovvero Morale Cristiana. This work was apperently already printed when it was forbidden to appear due to a censure procedure initiated in 1773 by the bishop of Osimo, and then backed by the Congregazione della sacra, romana ed universale Inquisizione del Sant’Ufficio (see the detailed analysis in the 2019 study by Pedrini).

He would also have issued another Dissertatio Politico Moralis de Matrimonio, geminas continens Theses: Utrum nepe Matrimonium sit res bona, ac licita? Et an expediens sit omnes absque ullo delectu Matrimonium inire, yet that work seems to be lost.

Josephus Hernandus (José Hernández, ca. 1640-1714)

OFM. Spanish Observant friar from Mahón (Minorca). Joined the order in the Majorca province and studied philosophy and theology in the San Francisco friary in Palma de Majorca. In the course of his studies, he apparently also became the guardian there. Distinguished himself as a preacher and became consultant for the Inquisition. Between 1688 and 1691, he was selected to become a member of the committee pursuing the canonisation of Ramon Llull (who already had the status of ‘beatus’), which also counted Lucas Wadding, Claudius Frassen and Francisco Díaz de San Buenaventura among its participants. For these activities, José moved to the San Isidoro friary in Rome. In 1688, he also took part in the general chapter, likewise held in Rome that year. Opposition from Roman Dominicans obstructed the canonisation process of Llull, motivating José to return to Majorca by 1690. José wrote a number of works, most of which apparently were never printed.

Josephus Legazpi (Jose Legazpi, d. 1781)

Spanish friar. Entered the order in the Santiago de Compostella province. Entered the Franciscan college of Alba de Tormes after his profession and later went to the University of Salamance. There he defended in 1741 a doctoral thesis on the infinite nature of the merits of Christ. Tutor at the San Francisco de Toro college and subsequently other teaching positions. At the provincial chapter of Benavente (1761), he was appointed general preacher and chronicler of his order province, to continue the work of Juan Antonio Domínguez's Árbol cronológico de la provincia de Santiago. Josephus worked on the fourth section of this work, especially devoted to Poor Clares of Monforte de Lemos. Hesitations by his provincial superiors impeded this section to be printed. Alongside his historical/archival works, he became popular as a homiletic practitioner, and a number of his sermons reached the printing press.

Josephus Le Caron (Joseph Le Caron, d. 1632)

OFMRec. French friar. Born near Paris around 1586. He became a secular priest and functioned as the confessor of the Duke of Orleans. After the death of the latter, he joined the Franciscan Recollects, making his profession in 1611. By 1615, he traveled with three other Recollect friars (Denis Jamet, Father Jean D’Olbeau, and Pacifique du Plessis) in the company of Champlain to Canada. After a short sejourn at Quebec city, he established himself among the Huron indigenous population. To this purpose, Le Caron and his missionary group traveled over land ca. 1,100 km voyage along the Ottawa River and the Mattawa as far as Lake Nipissing, and from there along the French River to Georgian Bay. July 1615, he became the first European to see Lake Huron,a few days before the arrival of Champlain. In the presence of the latter, Le Caeron celebrated on August 12, 1615 the first mass in Huron country, in the presence of Champlain. After a year of missionary work, Le Caron returned with Chaplian to France in 1616/17, to make a complaint against the activities of the merchant company of Rouen and St. Malo in Canada. Thereafter, he returned to Canada as provincial commissary and he continued his missionary efforts among the Hurons and the Montagnais of Tadousac. He was back in France in 1625 to inform the King about missionary matters and problems in Nouvelle France. Between 1626 and the French capitulation in 1629, Le Caron was again in Canada as superior of his order province, doing missionary work and working towards the creation of a series of dictionaries on the Huron, Algonkin and Montagnais languages (did not survive). After the English took over in 1629, Le Caron departed and became the guardian of the Sainte-Marguerite friary near Gisors (France), where he succumbed to the plague on 29 March 1632 (46 years old).

works

Rapport sur les mœurs des Indiens de la Nouvelle France (1624). This work was highly critical on the activities of the Compagnie des Marchands de Rouen et de Saint-Malo. Extracts of the document were preserved by Le Clercq, Premier Etablissment de la Foi dans la Nouvelle France, 2 Vols. (Paris, 1691).

Quærimonia Novæ Franciæ (1600/1624). Mentioned by Juan de S. Antonio. See also Plainte de la Nouvelle France.

Plainte de la Nouvelle France dicte Canada, à la France, sa Germaine (1625).

Avis au roi sur la Nouvelle France: MS Paris, Bibliothèque nationale, n° LK12733. Again highly critical with regard to the activities of the French merchant companies.

le Garon's dictionary of the Huron language has not survived. The same is true for his materials for dictionaries of the Algonkin and Montagnais languages.

Juan de San Antonio also mentions a work against the Jews and heretical doctrines, which would have been issued in Paris in 1660, yet we have not yet been able to trace that work.

Bernini decided to become a missionary himself. Together with other Capuchin missionaries, he travelled to the East, arriving himself at Lhassa, the Tibet capital, in May 1742. This was the beginning of a missionary career in Tibet, Nepals, and neighbouring regions that lasted until his death on 15 January 1761 (at Bettiah). In the course of his career, he wrote a number of works. Some of these are persuasive ‘dialogues’, to show the people of Tibet the ‘superiority’ of Christianity, others are travel notes, missionary reports, catechistic works, dictionaries etc.

Josephus Parisiensis (Josephus Le Clerc/Joseph de Paris/François Le Clerc du Tremblay/Joseph du Tremblay/père Joseph, 1577-1638)

OFMCap. French friar, commonly known as ‘le Père Joseph’ and ‘l’éminence grise’. In his youth he was famous for his active mastery if Greek and Latin. He joined the order in 1599 as an adult after a short military career (during which he was known as 'le baron de Mafflier'), in the context of which he participated in the siege of Amiens (1597) and took part in a legate journey to London. After his noviciate, he was active as a lector in the couvent de la rue Saint-Honoré (Paris). Due to eye problems, he stopped teaching and further studies to become active as a preacher (a.o. active in Meudon, Bourges, Angers, Saumur, Le Mans, Rennes, Tours, and Nantes), and also involved with the spiritual care of nuns, and with the newly founded Congregatio de Propaganda Fidei. He developed into an important spiritual author and counsellor of Richelieu. Co-founder of the congregation of Benedictines de Notre-Dame du Calvaire (1577-1638). Wrote more than 100 spiritual and pastoral works, described in part in DSpir VIII, 1372-1388. He also had a leading role in Benedictine and Fontevrault reforms and for a while led the journal Mercure français (created in 1605 and where he was the main editor between 1624 and 1638, writing pieces on Catholic royal absolutism). He had two strokes in 1638 and he died of their complications in December of the same year.

Josephus Riccardus (Gioseffo Riccardi/Giuseppe Riccardi da Alcara, fl. mid 17th cent.)

OFMConv. Italian (Sicilian) Conventual friar from Alcara li Fusi, near Messina. Studied at the Collegium S. Bonaventurae between 1640 and 1644. Preached in Rome, Venice, Naples, Messina and elsewhere. In 1643 known to have preached in the Cathedral of Palermo. In 1648, he gave an euologic sermon at the occasion of the election of Johan Casimir V as king of Poland, which was printed the same year. In 1650, Giuseppe was denounced for 'pretense of holiness' by the Venetian wool merchant Zuan Francesco Leoni and by friar Marino Cavaletti, who were suspicious of Giuseppe's following of devotees and the allegedly miraculous rosary beads handed out to them by Giuseppe. They also found fault with some of his sermons and his attempts to promote the 'living saint' Francesca Tusa, a Franciscan tertiary from Caccamo. Giuseppe was arrested on 22 September 1651 by the inquisition and brought to trial in January 1651. On 7 November 1651 he was sentenced to banishment from the city and state of Venice and he was forbidden to preach, to bless the sick, to distribute images of Francesca Tusa and to display forms of ecstatic behavior. It is not known as to whether he appealed the verdict. He died relatively young in 1652 in Manfredonia.

Josephus Tartini (Giuseppe Tartini, d. 1770)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Violinist and composer from Padua. Possibly destined by his family to join the OFMConv. In his adolescence, his tastes definitely went into another direction. Alongside of studying music, he also studied law at the university of Padua and also devoted himself to fencing and providing music lessons. When a secret marriage in 1710 to one of his young violin students from a lower social class, Elisabetta Premazore, led to an end of support from his family and a complaint and an inquiry by the Archbishop of Padua, Tartini was more or less forced to flee and find refuge in the Conventual Franciscan friary of Assisi. There he continued to perfect his violin technique, and studied musical theory. Following a pardon of the Archbishop of Padua, Tartini returned to a more public life, but apparently remained connected in some sense to the Friars Minor Conventual. In 1721, he became first violinist at the Sant'Antonio Basilica in Padua, and later he became chapel master there. Yet he also started a violin school and performed in many Italian and non-Italian towns and courts. He also lived between 1723 and 1726 as a musician at the court of Count Kinsky. Tartini wrote about 200 violin concertos, triosonatas and violin sonatas, symphonies and concert grossi, a Trattato di musica, a Miserere for four, five and eight voices, and a Stabat Mater for two sopranos and on alto voice.

OFMCap. Italian friar. Priest, musician and chapel master of the San Marco in Venice, as well as an important musical theorist. Born in Chioggia, near Venice on 31 January or 22 March 1517. Went to school with the local Franciscans, where he received his first musical training from Fransesco Maria Delficio. Joined the Capuchins in or around 1532. he became a singer at Chioggia cathedral in 1536 and in 1539, he was dean and first organist in the same church. He was ordained priest in 1540 and departed in 1541 to Venice, to follow with Cypriano de Rore courses in music and composition under Adriaan Willaert, chapel master of San Marco in Venice until his death in 1562. In 1565, Gioseffo himself became chapel master of the San Marco, keeping this position until his death on February 4, 1590.

His own compositions - 41 mottets for five and seven voices and 13 secular works, including madrigals for four and five voices - were issued in four volumes in Venice in 1589. In addition, he produced three volumes on musical theory and practice (Le istitutioni harmoniche (1558), Dimonstrationi harmoniche (1571), Sopplimenti musicali (1588)), as well as devotional works and works of religious instruction for lay people, and a lengthy work on the origin of the Capuchin order: Interno la origine della Congregatione de' Reverendi Frati Capuccini (Venice, 1579). This work takes a stance against Marius a Foro Sarsinio and others that not Matteo da Bascio but Paolo Barbiero of Chioggia was the first initiator of the Capuchin reform.

Julia de Milano (Julia Milanensis/Giulia da Milano, fl. early 16th cent.)

OSC. Italian Observant Poor Clare; member of the S. Orsola monastery in Milan. There, from ca. 1510 onwards, she was visited for ca. 30 years by apparitions and revelations of Caterina da Bologna (Catarina Vigri, 1413-1463). Giulia revealed these revelations to her fellow sisters, adding to them spiritual teachings of her own. Eventually, this amalgam was collected in the so-called Revellationi della B. Caterina alla B. Giulia da Milano, a three-volume manuscript that was kept in the Milan monastery until its dissolution. A copy of the text was obtained from the scriptorium of the Corpus Domini convent of Bologna by the Franciscan minister general Francesco Gonzaga. This copy nowadays survives in the Biblioteca Estense.

Julianus de Spira (Julian von Speyer/Julianus Teutonicus, c. 1200-c. 1250)

OM. German friar from Speyer. Born in the closing years of the twelfth century or around 1200. Studied at the University of Paris and came into the service of the French King Louis VIII. Became master of the French royal chapel. Ca 1224, Julian entered the Franciscan order at Paris. He was present at the general chapter of 1227 (Assisi), where he might have encountered Thomas of Celano. Between 1227 and 1230, he spent in Germany as socius of the provincial minister Simon Anglicus, to help build the new Franciscan province (active in Speyer and Magdeburg). Julian visited Assisi again in 1330, assisting with the official translation of Francis’ body. After that, he was sent back to Paris, where he became choir master in the Franciscan convent, a function he kept until his death. He is well-known for his liturgical and hagiographical works on Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua.

Julius Belli (Giulio Belli, ca. 1560-after 1620)

OFMConv. Italian friar and composer and musician. Brother of the Italian friar Sante Belli, chapel master at Correggio in 1590. As a young boy Giulio sang and studied music under Giovanni Tommaso Cimello in Naples. In 1569; traveled (back?) to Longiano, where he joined the Conventual Franciscans on 30 September 1579. He continued his musical education and he became maestro di cappella at Imola Cathedral on 7 November 1582. He probably held this position until 1590, for in May of that year, he was appointed for three years at the Santa Maria Church of Carpi. Yet already a year later, he moved to Bologna, to take up the position of praefectus musicae in the San Francesco friary. In subsequent years, he seemed to have traveled around, for he was in Ferrara in 1592 and 1593, and around 1594, he moved to Venice to serve as chapel master of and on 20 May 1590 he was engaged for three years in a similar capacity at S Maria, Carpi; in 1591, however, he moved to S Francesco, Bologna, as ‘praefectus musices’. He seems to have been at Ferrara in 1592 and 1593, and in 1594 or 1595 he went to Venice as maestro di cappella of the church of the Canal Grande, followed by an appointment at the Cathedral of Montagna. A year laer, he ws found as chapel master at the court of Duke Alfonso II d’Este and at the Accademia della Morte in Ferrara. His itinerant career continued in subsequent years: chapel master at Osimo Cathedral in 1599, chapel master at the cathedral and archiepiscopal seminary of Reavenna between 1600 and 1602, choir leader in Regio and at Forlì catheral between 1603 and 1606. He was back in Venice by 1606 and then worked for two years in the Franciscan San Antonio friary in Padua, followed by a stint as chapel master at San Francesco in Assisi (1610). Between January 1611 and April 1613 he was again employed at Imola Cathedral, followed in 1615 by another stint at Venice and finally again at Imola In 1615 he was once more maestro di cappella at the Ca’ Grande and in 1621 he returned finally to Imola. Among his students stand out the composers G.B. Spada and Roberto Poggiolini. Giulio's sacred music was well esteemed and printed repeatedly. His earlier works was reminiscent of Palestrina, but he moved on to more 'modern' compository techniques in later years, as is evidenced by his masses, madrigals and canzonettas. He also wrote a number of instrumental pieces.

He died at a relatively young age in 1664. Member of the Accademia degli Incogniti of Gianfrancesco Loredano. Giulio wrote all his works (predominantly in rhyme) under the pseudonym Gnesio Basapopi, due to concerns within the order about their burlesque contents, and several of those works had a considerable success.

Li contramalanni, con le delizie e grandezze del mondo (Venice, 1663).

I mall'anni dell'homo and following works are, in fact, a coherent burlesque oeuvre, characterized as 'Fantasie veneziane'.

Le stringhe sferrettate, rime giuocose di Gnesio Basapopi, (...) aggiuntoui le sferzate di Sebastian Rossi, ed. Alessandro Zatta (Venice, 1664).

According to Franchini, Giulio would also have published some works under the pseudonym Lorenzo, including a work entitled Chiromanzia, but these we have never been able to find.

Junta Bevagnati (Juncta de Bevegnatis/Iuncta Bevegnati/Giunta Bevignati, d. ca. 1312)

OM. Italian friar. Probably born at Cortona, where he joined the Franciscan order. There he met the female mystic and ascetic Marguerita da Cortona sometime after 1275. Junta became her confessor until, in 1288, she became a recluse at the St. Basil Church. Junta then went to Siena, yet he came back to assist Marguerita on her deathbed. Some years thereafter, he edited/compiled the Legenda de Vita et Miraculis Beatae Margaritae de Cortona. This text, which forms the documentary base for all later vitae of Marguerita, not only contains many of Junta’s own memories of Marguerita, but also includes many testimonies of other witnesses, such as the rector of the St. Basil church, who had been Marguerita’s confessor during the last seven years of her life. The text tries to stress the special relationship between Marguerita and the Franciscan order.

Justinianus de Neuvy-sur-Loire (Justinien de Neuvy-sur-Loire/Michel Febvre/Michel Lefebure, d. ca. 1690)

OFMCap. French friar from Tours, and misionary to Armenia and Syria (arrived in Aleppo in 1664). In 1667, he made pilgrimage to Jerusalem from Syria. Engaged in a mission to the Yézidis Kurdian people in 1668. Later, around 1673/74, he traveled to Rome, Tuscany and Paris, to publish a few of his works. In 1678, he traveled again to Rome, this time with his compatriot from Tours, the Jesuit Michel Nau, to obtain papal confirmation of the new Syran patriarch. During this second trip, the Congregatio de Propaganda Fidei published in Latin, Arabic and Armenian his work against common misconceptions concerning the Turks, the Jews and oriental forms of heresy. He argued in several of his works for a renewed crusade, emphasizing the inherent weakness of the Ottoman Empire. Would have known Syrian, Arab, Armenian and Kurdic. Most of his works were issued under the nom de plume Michel Febvre. As a result, some scholars consider him a secular author. Sometimes, his works are also ascribed to his fellow Capuchin friar Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Aignan.
