Pacificus de Cerano (Pacificus Novariensis/Pacificus de Novara/Pacifico da Cerano/Pacifico Ramati, 1424-1482), beatus

OMObs. Italian friar. Orphaned young in his life, he entered the Observant branch of the order in 1445 (at Novara) after advanced studies in Roman and Canon law. He became priest and developed into a renowned preacher. Following in Bernardine of Siena’s footsteps, he spent much energy in further renovation of the Franciscan order in Southern Italy. Also active as crusade preacher (against the Turcs). In May 1481, the Cismontan Observant general chapter made him commissionarius for Sardinia, where he died before 14 June, 1482. Based on his experience as priest, confessor and preacher, Pacifico wrote in 1473 his Opereta dicta Sumula ho Vero Sumeta de pacifica conscientia, also known as the Summula de pacifica ofSumma pacifica. This work, initially directed to the priest Vinciguerra 'and all confessors', regular and secular, was printed two times in the later fifteenth century and at least five more times before the Council of Trente (and came out in a revised form thereafter, with in total 16 sixteenth-century imprints), amounts to a straightforward confessor manual in 33 chapters, showing incumbent confessors how to teach the articles of faith, the sacraments, the Ten Commandments,and to give the faithful basic behavioral guidelines that cohere with their social status (married or not, professional lawyers, doctors, masters and students, merchants, bankers, artisans priests, bishops, etc.). the work also provides interrogatory schemes that confessors can use for his stratified flock of penitents. At a more general level, the Summula subsequently provides an introduction to the tasks and obligations of the confessor, it lists the penitential canons, as well as papal and episcopal excommunications. For authorization and reference purposes, the work provides canonist and theological sources in the margin. For more biographical and bibliographical information see also the 2014 entry on Pacifico in the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani [https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/pacifico-da-cerano_%28Dizionario-Biografico%29/].

Paulus Maria Rivarola (Paolo-Maria Rivarola, fl. ca. 1645)

OFMCap. Italian friar from Chiavari. He lost his hearing and became subject to other medical issues soon after his profession. As a result, he never became a priest but embarked on a literary career as prefect of the library of the Immaculate Conception friary in Genoa, with a penchant for biblical and mariological issues. His works apparently did not reach the printing press.

Elected provincial in 1604, a position he was not able to fulfill properly, due to his ongoing inquisitoroal obligations, which regularly forced him to reside outside of his order province. Hence, Sansoni's provincialate obligations were rescinded already in 1605, and he remained inquisitor in Treviso until 1614, when he was transferred to the inquisitorial position in Padua, which he kept until 1627, when he died of a heart attack.

Paulus Scriptor (Paulus Scriptoris/Paulus Wilensis/Paulus Suebus/Paulus von Weil, d. 1505)

OM. German Observant friar. Born in Weil (Schwaben). Entered the Franciscan Observants in the province of Strasbourg. Was sent to Paris to study theology. Studied under the Scotist Stephan Brulefer. Back in Germany (before 1488), he became lector at the studium at Tübingen (studium established there in 1447, together with the foundation of the U. of Tübingen). Glassberger provides a description of a public disputation held in Neuerenberg at the provincial chapter (1488). In this disputation, which was chaired by Stephan Brulefer, Paulus Scriptoris was assigned the task to defend several theses chosen for the occasion [AF, II, 504ff.]. Although the Franciscan studium at Tübingen apparently was not fully incorporated in the university, there is evidence that Paulus drew a wide and mixed academic and non-academic audience with his lectures on Scotus and on astronomical, geographical and mathematical topics [for instance on Ptolemy and the astrolabe. He also designed a globe for Johann von Dalberg. See on this the descriptions in Konrad Pellikan, Chronikon, ed. B. Riggenbach (Basel, 1877), 12.] Aside from these teaching activities, Paulus also engaged in the study of Greek in the school of Reuchlin and stimulated his own students (such as Konrad Pellikan, Staupitz and Eck) to engage in the study of Hebrew. Before and after 1498, Paulus was guardian of the Tübingen convent. Also elected definitor for his province. Due to his apparently critical stance in sermons and teachings and some seemingly unorthodox statements, he lost his teaching- and administrative positions in shortly after 1500, when the provincial chapter sent him to Basel and forbade him to continue his teachings (though he was allowed to write). Pellican would later perceive a resemblance between the views of Scriptoris and those of Luther. Fearing further disciplinary action, Scriptoris travelled in 1502 to Vienna and Rome, where he tried to find support. By 1505, Paulus Scriptoris was rehabilitated and safely returned to Heilbron. He was about to be sent to a lectureship in Toulouse the general vicar Martialus Brulier, but was first asked by the bishop of Basel (Christoph von Utenheim) to assist in the reform of the Cluniacensian monastry St. Alban in Basel. On his way there, Paulus Scriptoris died in Kaiserberg [see AF, VI, 283, n. 4, 286, n. 1]. In his theological writings, Paulus Scriptoris followed the `via antiqua' (esp. Bonaventure) and the teachings of Scotus. This seems to have been the general trend in the Observant province of Cologne in the later fifteenth century [see: V. Heynck. `Zur Rechtfertigungslehre des Kontroverstheologen Kaspar Schatzgeyer, O.F.M.', Franziskanische Studien 28 (1941), 13, 135f.]

works

According to the explicit of the work, it was an 'ordinaria lectura ordinarie facta in conventu Fratrum Minorum in alma Universitate Tuivingii.' It would seem that both editions now are accessible via the Mediathèque of Lyon (check Numelyo), the digital collections of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich [see also https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb00086051?page=,1 ], and via Google Books (creative search).

From 1483 onwards active in the convent of St. John in Buda as lector, preacher and author (‘solemnis predicator at in theologia non mediocriter imbutus'). Died there on 19 January 1504. Especially famous for his sermon collections, as well as for his commentaries on OT and NT books (esp. on the religious songs contained in the Bible), and his immaculist theological positions. His final, synthetic, theological work - the Aureum Sacrae Theologiae Rosarium - was finished (book IV) by his pupil Oswald de Lasko.

Petrus ad Boves (Petrus Abbo/Pierre Aux Boeufs, ca. 1368-1425)

OMConv. French friar, theologian and preacher. Bacc. Sent. in Paris (1403). Received the licence of theology 1403 and listed as doctor of theology in 19 August 1404. Magister regens of the Studium Generale at Paris in 1421. [Cf. Paris BN Lat. 5657a f. 12v & Paris BN Lat. 5494 p. 8; CHUP IV, 128 & 129 (nos. 1803, 1807)]. Throughout his life a partisan of the dukes of Burgundy (against Orléans) and counsellor of the burgundian duke Jean sans Peur. Since 1404 confessor of the French queen Isabella of Bavaria (Isabeau de Bavière, the wife of king Charles VI). Also confessor of duke Stephen of Bavaria and the daughter of the Count Palatine of the Rhine. Famous exegete, preacher and orator at the U. of Paris and at the French royal court. Spoke out against pope Benedict XIII, and active at the Council of Paris (1413-1414). Collaborated with Johannes Parvus/Jean Petit on the second Defensorium, in which the asassination of Louis of Orléans (the brother of the King, 23-11, 1407) by order of Jean sans Peur is justified [cf. CHUP IV, 274, 350, 353 (nos. 2002, 2111, 2117)]. Petrus’s death was commemorated on June 15, 1425 [CHUP IV 400 no. 2183, n. 7.] He left a series of academic (Sentences Commentary; Exegetical works) and non academic (esp. sermons) writings, most of which still await their first modern edition or study.

Petrus Alba (Petrus de Alba y Astorga/Pedro de Alba y Astorga, 1602, Zamora - 5, 04, 1667, Louvain))

OFMObs. Spanish friar. Born in Carbajales (Zamora). As a child, he travelled with his parents from Spain to Peru. Went to school at the San Antón college/seminary of the Cuzco diocese, and afterwards, from ca. 1621 onwards, he studied theology in the San Martín study house in Lima. Once a member of the Observants of the Doce Apóstoles province in Peru, he taught and preached and functioned as censor for the Inquisition. He reached the status of Lector Jubilatus in 1641. Around this time he went to Spain as procurator for his province and he partipated as custodian for his province in the general chapter of Toledo (1645). In 1650 Pedro moved to Rome as procurator for the promotion of the beatification of the missionary Francisco Solano. In Rome, he was appointed general procurator for his order, and he was commissioned to order the archives and libraries of the order. This led to the publication of two volumes entitled Indiculum Bullarii Seraphici (Rome, 1655). The other eight envisaged volumes did not appear, for Pedro moved back to Spain. Back there, he abandoned all projects to devote himself completely to the defense of the immaculate conception. His archival and theological investigations on this topic did not find a printer in Spain. But in 1661 he moved to the Southern Low Countries where Belgian Franciscans in Louvain and Namur provided him with facilities to publish his works. For this purpose, Pedro established a Typographia Immaculatae Conceptionis, which was closed already in 1667 by Royal order, thanks to machinations of the Dominicans. But in these five years (1661-1667), Pedro was able to edit several works, which form an important source for the history of the immaculate conception.

Petrus Amy (Pierre Amy/Ami/Lamy, d. 1525)

OFM. French friar. Born in or near Orléans. Studied Greek there. His father forced him to join the Franciscans. In the Observant friary of Fontenay de Comte, he continued his studies of Greek and began to maintain epistolary contacts with humanists, such as Guillaume Budé (between 1520-1524). At Fontenay de Comte, he also befriended his fellow Franciscan François Rabelais. Together they visited the houses of a local circle of humanists. End 1523, the guardian of their convent clamped down on Rabalais’s and Amy’s literary interests, and their Greek books were confiscated. In reponse, both men left the monastery [check for Rabelais]. Amy took refuge in the Benedictine house of St. Mesmin near Orléans and subsequently traveled to Basel in the company of the Polish baron Johannes Laski (who would later try to introduce Calvinism in the Polish kingdom). This trajectory is mentioned by Rabelais in Pantagruel L, III, chapter 10. Erasmus knew Amy in Bale and commented in 1531 on his fragile health, virtuous nature and death (letter of 13 March 1531 to Jacques Toussain [check]). This letter informs us that he died shortly after his arrival in Basel. He was buried ‘pro laico’ in the cemetary of the Franciscan friary in Basel. This would mean that he had probably left the order. It has also been suggested that, by the end of his life, he would have been an adherent of Lutheranism.

Petrus Aureolus (Petrus Aureoli/Peter Auriole/Peter Aureol/Pierre Oriol/Pierre Auriol/Petrus Aureolica, 1275-1322, Avignon), doctor facundus

OM. French friar. Theologian. Probably born in the neighbourhood of Gourdon or near Cahors a few years before 1280. In his youth friend of the later pope John XXII. Entered the order in the Aquitaine province shortly before 1300. Studied at Paris during the first decade of the fourteenth century. Uncertain whether he heared the final lectures of Scotus there. Took part in the 1311 and 1312 usus pauper discussions, and from this period dates his oldest known work (Tractatus de paupertate et usu paupere). Taught as lector at the Franciscan studia of Bologna (1312), where he wrote or finished his only non-theological work, namely the Tractatus de principiis naturae, and subsequently, from late 1314 onwards, in Toulouse. It was there that he probably wrote two texts that defend the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, namely the Tractatus de conceptione Beatae Mariae Virginis and the Repercussorium). While in Toulouse, he also lectured on the Sentences, and it is quite possible that a first version of Aureol's large commentary on the first book of the Sentences was written there. He was in any case deemed suffiently proficient as a theologian to be chosen by Michael of Cesena at the general chapter of 1316 to absolve his Sentences readings pro gradu at Paris. Aureol read the Sentences between 1316 and 1318 and obtained the magisterium in 1318 (Cf. papal request of Pope John XXII addressed to the chancellor of the university of Paris concerning this bestowal on July 14, 1318). Regent master at Paris between November 1318 and Summer 1320 (or 1321?). Elected provincial minister of Aquitania (end 1320) and Archbishop of Aix on 27 February 1321. He died on 10 January/22 January 1322 in Avignon, soon after accepting this office. [Vertegenwoordiger van het zogenaamde conceptualisme en empiricisme. Criticicaster van Thomas Wylton, Herveus Natalis en Scotus. Zijn filosofisch-theologische oeuvre gezien als overgang naar het werk van Ockham. Van hem zijn vele filosofische en theologische werken bekend. Zijn epistemologie, ontvouwd in zijn Sentences commentaar staat nu in de belangstelling. Zijn belangrijkste exegetische werk is het Compendium sensus litteralis totius sacrae Scripturae, dat in vele handschriften, oude drukken en edities is overgeleverd. Dit compendium bevat ook een sterk historiserende uitleg van de apocalyps. Zich deels baserend op het apocalypscommentaar van Alexander Bremensis geeft Aureoli een zeer orthodoxe kerkgeschiedenis met een helder antagonisme tussen de Kerk en de machten van het kwaad die haar belagen. Aureoli is verder interessant als een van de eerste grote verdedigers van de onbevlekte ontvangenis en voor his verdediging van de onfeilbaarheid van de Kerk op het vlak van het geloof. Deze onfeilbare Kerk heeft in de paus, de vicarius Christi, zijn representant en bewaker van het ware geloof. Komt dicht in de buurt van latere pauselijke onfeilbaarheidstheses].

OM. Italian friar from the Mantua region (from Canneto sull'Oglio?). Secretary of the vicar general of the Cismontan Observants Pietro da Napoli in the 1470s. Guardian/vicar of the Mantua San Francesco friary and thereafter for a number of years active at the Mount Sion friary of Jerusalem. Back in Italy, he preached in Rome (1483) and in Perugia (Santa Maria degli Angeli, 1485). Guardian at Mantua in the early 1490s, as well as confessor of Isabella d'Este of Mantua. Subsequently additional preaching assignments and substantial editorial activities (breviaries, missals and other works for the order). Involved with the organisation of the Cismontan general chapter for the Observants sub vicariis in 1504, and again guardian at Mantua between 1506-1507, in which period he also commissioned several building projects (for instance involving the infirmary and the library). The remaining years of his life (until his death on 7 June 1513) he fulfilled several other administrative and funding seeking charges and continued issuing various works, including a translation of Bonaventure's Legenda Major, which finally appeared nine years after his death.

Contrary to the early editions of the famous Meditationes Passionis Christi, Pietro Arrivabene did not schematise his passion devotion meditations according to the seven canonical hours. Instead, he provides a more or linear narrative with subsequent meditations of the Passion.]

Michele Faloci Pulignani (Assisi, 1927). Faloci Pulignani remarked that Pietro’s translation might be the most faithful of the various surviving fifteenth- and sixteenth-century translations of the Legenda Major.

Petrus Berchorius (Pierre Bersuire, fl. ca. 1340)

OM. French Franciscan friar who quickly left the order to become Benedictine monk. As a Benedictine, he became the compiler of several works to help preachers, such as the Repertorium Morale, the Reductorium Morale, and translations of the works of Titus Livius. The most famous of his works is the Reductorium Morale, a so-called preaching encyclopedia, containing moralized information about the properties of nature. For much of its content it goes back to De Proprietatibus Rerum of Bartholomaeus Anglicus and subsequent moralizations of this work for preaching purposes. (See also under Marcus de Orvieto) The Reductorium Morale contains 16 chapters: (1) De Deo; (2) De Corpore et Membris Humanis; (3) De Hominis Conditionibus; (4) De Infirmitatibus; (5) De Celo et Terra; (6) De Materia et Forma, Igne et Aere et Eorum Impressionibus; (7) De Avibus; (8) De Aquis et Fluminibus; (9) De Piscibus; (10) De Animalibus, Vermibus et Serpentibus; (11) De Terra et Eius Partibus Necnon de Gemmis et Lapidibus Preciosibus; (12) De Herbis, Plantis et Arboribus; (13) De Nature Accidentibus; (14) De Mirabilibus Nature; (15) De Fabulis Poetarum; (16) Super Totam Bibliam.

Petrus Bermudez (Pedro Bermudez, d. 1643)

TOR & OFM. Spanish friar. First a regular tertiary in the San Miguel province and later he joined the Franciscans of the regular Observance in the Granada province. Theologian and philosopher with a decent knowledge of Greek and Roman and Canon law. He would have written a work on the feast of the presentation of Mary, but we have not yet been able to trace it.

Petrus Bessonius (Pierre Besson de Dreux, d. 1598), beatus

OFMCap. French friar from the Parisian province. Guardian of the Rouen friary (also involved with the care for plague victims), preacher (also against Calvinism). He was more or less killed by accident by a lifeguard of Henri of Navarre on 26 June 1598. This lifeguard mistook him for Pierre Deschamps, who had preached against the king. Pierre would have left behind several smaller works of religious instruction, but we have not yet been able to trace those.

OM. Italian Franciscan lector at Aversa. Was elected bishop of Carinola and confirmed in this office by Pope John XXII on 13 january 1326. Yet Pietro’s order superiors were unwilling to accept this election (did this mean that he could not take up the position?). Four years later, when the Valva-Sulmona episcopate became vacant, the order apparently did not hinder Pietro’s election by that diocesan chapter. Pietro was confirmed in his new see on 4 May 1330. The next year, Pietro published new diocesan statutes of the Valva Sulmona diocese.

Petrus Brosius (Pierre de La Brosse, fl. 15th cent.)

OM. French friar about whom nothing more is known than that he wrote a small treatise Des règles de la perfection, dedicated to all those who wanted to engage in a veritable devotion ‘à nostre très doulx Sauveur Jhesu Crist crucifié.’ The author provides ‘35 règles de dévocion pour qui veut monter en la très haute montagne de perfection et de sainte contemplation’. Work seems especially geared to female religious who go to mass daily and should cultivate an evocative and tender devotional attitude towards the suffering Christ.

Petrus Calanna (Pietro Calanna/Thermitanus Himereus Franciscanus, 1531-1606)

OFMConv. Italian (Sicilian) friar from Termini. Studied philosophy and theology at Padua, and taught as regent master at Assisi (1567) and Palermo. Was a convinced platonist, and saw profound similarities between Plato’s doctrines and those of christianity. Aristotle, in contrast, would never have moved beyond mundane knowledge. Pietro’s major work is the Philosophia Seniorum Sacerdotia et Platonica. He died on 19 January 1606.

A peculiar work that discusses platonic, neoplatonic, pythagorean and other 'old' philosophical doctrines on the spiritual and material world, the nature of the soul, knowledge, etc. Chapter 39 is totally devoted to the nature and the habitat of demons.

Petrus Caperolo (Pietro Caprioli, d. 1480)

OMObs. Milanese friar and renowned preacher. Tried to establish an independent congregation within the Observant movement (a.o. in Bergamo, Brescia and other towns in Northern Italy). For this he was condemned by the leadership of the order in 1467. Reconciliation in 1469. In 1471 the commune of Brescia tried it once more. Only in 1477 did pope Sixtus IV allow Capriolus to establish a congregation named after Bernardinus of Siena. Moreover: Capriolus was asked to reform the convent of Città di Castello. After Capriolus' death in Brescia the congregation quickly disappeared. Works? See for more information the studies of Sevesi and Kirshner.

Petrus Capullius (Petrus Capuleus/Pietro Capullio/Pietro Capulio/Pietro del Capulla, d. 1625)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Commentator on the works of Bonaventure. Born in Cortona around 1560. Proved himself to be a talented student. He was baccalaureus in the Rimini studium and later regent master of the Magna Domus Venetiarum in Bologna. He joined the Conventuals and resided for a while in the friary on the Alverna mountain. He rose quickly in the order ranks, reaching the function of general procurator. Yet he also continued to teach and to study, and in 1593 he became the sixth regent master of the Collegium S. Bonaventurae in Rome, which had been erected by the Franciscan pope Sixtus V in 1587 to kickstart the study of the works of Bonaventure. Together with other Conventuals, Pietro Capellio became a driving force behind the edition and the study of Bonaventure, and he was one of the teachers of new generations of Conventual intellectuals, among which were also Mastrio and Sbaraglia. Pietro Capulio remained at the Collegium S. Bonaventurae until 1605, when pope Paul V made him bishop of Conversano, near Bari. There he devoted himself to pastoral tasks and also continued his bonaventurean studies. He died at Conversano on 28 June, 1624 (or 24 June, 1625 according to Eubel, Hierarchia, 177). He is first and foremost known for his commentaries on the first and second book of the Sentences of Bonaventure.
