This Quaestio de subiecto metaphysicae was first issued in print in Padua in 1553 by the printer the printer Giovanni Domenico Barbetta. A second, revised edition of the Quaestio was issued in Venice in 1581 by one of Malafossa's successors at the chair of Scotist metaphysics of Padua university, Salvatore Bartolucci from Assisi, as an appendix to his edition of the commentaries of Peter Tartaret on Aristotle’s Physics, Metaphysics, and Ethics.

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.

After some teaching assignments, he became provincial definitor in 1590. Between 1610 and 1620, he was guardian of the convents of Beauvais, Auxerre, Étampes, Pontoise and Montfort-l’Amaury. After this decade of administrative charges, he was allowed to devote himself to biblical studies. He died on 8 September 1646 [1650 according to Juan de San Antonio].

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.

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.

Jacobus de Aesculo (Jacobus Asculanus/Jacobus de Esquillo/Giacomo d’Ascoli, early fourteenth century), Doctor profundus

OM. Italian friar. Active as magister theologiae in Paris ca. 1309. Follower of Duns Scotus, who engaged in polemics against those who tried to harmonize the teachings of Thomas and Scotus (like Robert of Cowton.). He was asked to participate as a counsellor in the process against Marguerite of Porète (cf. CHUP III, 660), and performed as Regent master at Paris between 1310-1311. 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.

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.

I (possibly an autograph manuscript, containing 101 sermons; see Pacetti (1941) and the introduction to Lioi’s edition of the Sermones dominicales) [On f. 1r, we read: 'Incipiunt sermones dominicales utilissimi, predicabiles, per totum annum, conpilati per eximium ac illustratissimum predicatorem fratrem Iacobum de Marchia ordinis beati seraphici Francisci…’]; Biblioteca Casanatense Cod. 876ff. 327a-339b (five sermones domenicales); BAV Vat.Lat. 7780 (autograph manuscript, with added modern folio numbers) [This manuscript has been described in Dionysius Lasic, ‘Sermones S. Iacobi de Marchia in cod. Vat.Lat. 7780 et 7642 asservati’, AFH 63 (1970), 476-565 (476-515). On f. 1v, we can read:‘Ego fr. Iacobus de Monte Prandone or. mi. Etate viginti duorum annorum in nomine Domini ingressus sum in ordinem s. Francisci, de mense iulii 1416. Et incepi predicare in festo s. Antonij de Padua in S. Salvatore prope Florentiam 1420.

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.

Dominica 24: De antechristo (III, 367-378); 99. In eadem Dominica: De signis adventus antechristi (III, 379-389). 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.

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).

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.

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 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.

Jacobus Schwederich (Jacobus Suedoricus, fl. ca. 1500-1530)

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].

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 2^nded., X 1466].

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.

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.’

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.

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.
