Richardus Angelus Mason de Sancto Francisco (Richard Mason/Richard Angelus Mason, 1599 - December 30, 1678)

OFM. English friar (possibly of Irish descent). In any case born in Wiltshire, England. Moved to the Continent and took his profession in the Franciscan order in 1629. Was ordained priest at Douai four years later. He took his degrees in the order’s English schools in exile in Douai (doctor of Divinity), and was appointed successively to the administrative offices of definitor, guardian, and visitor of the province of Brabant. He was elected provincial in 1659, and became the confessor of the female Franciscan tertiaries of Nieuport, who suffered from damp living conditions, and eventually resettled. Between 1662 and 1675, he lived in England, functioning as the domestic chaplain to Lord Arundell of Wardour. He returned to the continent to retire at the convent of Douai. Productive author.

Richardus Brinkley (Richard Brinkel, fourteenth century, d. ca. 1379)

OM. English friar. Logician and theologian, who joined the franciscans at Oxford and was active there in the 1350s and 1360s. He is sometimes is mistaken for Walter Brinkley. Several of Brinkley's philosophical and theological ideas were known during the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in Paris and Prague (also in connection, or rather direct opposition with the views of the mid-fourteenth-century Oxford philosopher Richard Billingham. Unknown whether Brinkley ever worked in Paris or Prague. We still have a synopsis of his Sentences Commentary and the major part of the text of his third question (this commentary was a Lectura, which from 1362 onwards had some impact on the works of Parisian theologians such as Guillermo Centueri of Cremona, Henry Totting of Oyta, and Jean Hiltalingen), as well as a Summa Logicae/Summa nova de logica, and his Tractatus Aureus. Other works ascribed to him, such as his Distinctiones scholasticae, his Determinationes, and a treatise on metaphysics alluded to in his Summa as a work that he intended to write, have not yet been found. As a logician, he also was used as an authority, alongside of Walter Burley and Ockham. Interestingly, Brinkley defended a version of metaphysical realism, as well as a distinctively perspectivist theory of intellectual cognition. Hence he was not in line with the dominant scholastic tencencies after Scotus and Ockham. Still, he seems to have had some influence on the logical and theological works of a number of other scholars, including Heinrich Totting of Oyta, Denys the Carthusian, Johann Hiltalingen of Basel, Jean de Ripa, Peter of Candia, Guglielmo Centueri da Cremona. Some even say that his Summa had an impact on the logical writings of Wyclif.

Richardus Cenomagus (Richardus Cenomanus/Richard Le Mans/Richard du Mans, d. 1552)

OFM. French friar. Theologian and filologist. Entered the order at Chartres. Studied theology alongside Latin, Greek and Hebrew in Paris. Dr. of theology in 1536. SHortly after obtaining his doctorate he objected with others to a ruling of the Parisian theology faculty that asked orders to pay an additional fee for new Regent masters in Sacred Scripture. Known for his edition of Peter Lombard’s Psalm Commentary and for his defense of the Vulgate both in this work and in unpublished notes against the NT edition of Erasmus. The theology faculty of Paris approved in 1540 not only his Lombard edition but also his Antidotum, produced to refute Easmus' critique of the Augustinian rule. In 1541 the Franciscan general chapter made him expositor of the teachings of Scotus in the new studium generale of Mantua. Yet by 18 January 1543 he was back in Paris (as he sighted then the list of Parisian doctors adhering to the Faculty's articles of Catholic faith). Later that year, he joined a committee to investigate allegations of heresy against Dr. Claude Despence. Richard became guardian of the Grand Couvent de Paris in 1545. Between December 1545 and September 1548 he also took part in the council of Trent, and gave a solemn sermon to the Council fathers on the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity (20 June 1546). Council documents indicate that Richard defended the authority of the Vulgate and spoke repeatedly in discussions on the sacraments, purgatory and indulgences. He also took part in a conciliar committee on the issue of justification, taking a stance against 'Scotist' teachings regarding the 'certitude of faith'. Richard Le Mans collaborated with another participant of the council, Guillaume Sirleto, to establish the canon of Scripture, and Richard Le Mans would in this context also have written the Pro apologia ecclesiasticae editionis sive Vulgata utriusque Testamenti (according to H. Höpfl, 1908, 13). Richard left de council gathering in September 1548. In 1549 he was provincial minister of the French province (elected at the chapter of Soissons). He died at Chartres three or four years later, in 1552 (or 1553?). leaving a considerable book collection to the friary there.

Richardus de Connington (Conyngton/Conington, d. 1330)

OM. English Franciscan friar. Presented with 21 other Franciscan friars (including John Duns Scotus and Robert Cowton) to the bishop of Lincoln (John Dalderby) in 1300 to obtain permission to hear confession. This request was apparently not successful: eight friars received permission, but Richard was not one of them at that time. He was by then almost or already in the Oxford theology degree program. Prior to that he might have been studying in the lectorate program at Paris, sometime in the early 1290s. His use of the works of Henry of Ghent (who died in 1293) might point in that direction (see below). Whatever might have been the case, Richard read the Sentences pro gradu in Oxford in 1302-1303 and Graduated as magister theologiae at Oxford in 1305 or 1306, to become regent master in the Franciscan school (ca. 1305-7). Thereafter magister regens in Cambridge, where he lectured on the Bible. Provincial minister of the English province between 1310 and 1316. As provincial minister, he took part in the council of Vienne and he became active participant in the poverty controversy. His treatise Beatus qui intelligit on poverty from this period follows the explications of Exiit qui Seminat. After John XXII's bull Ad Conditorem Canonum (1322) Richard composed a dialogue, the Responsiones ad Rationes Papales, stressing the difficulties which could rise from the papal position. Richard eventually retired to the Cambridge convent, and died there c. 1330. Aside from his poverty treatises, Richard is known as the author of 7 disputed questions and 2 quodlibets. His commentary on the Sentences and his Sermones Quadragesimales have not been found, nor his commentary on the penitential psalms (on which he would have lectured during his regency at Oxford and/or Cambridge), or his alleged defense of Pope John XXII against William of Ockham (De Christi Dominio). Although we do not have his Sentences commentary as such, it is quoted by John of Reading, William Alnwick, Robert Walsingham, William of Nottingham, Peter Thomas, and Robert Graystanes (see also Stegmüller, Sent., 717). Following his surviving quaestiones, and remarks by near contemporaries, such as the Carmelite John Baconthorpe and the commentator in Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, MS Vat. lat. 869, Conington was in his theological teachings very much inspired by Henry of Ghent, frequently in opposition to Scotus, even though Conington also defends the formal distinction.

Richardus de Mediavilla (Richard of Middletown/Richard of Menneville, doctor solidus, 1249-1307)

OM. English friar of noble Norman origin. Studied in Paris under William de la Mare and Matthew of Aquasparta. Held his lectures on the Sentences 1280/81. As Bacc. member of the committee that judged the works of Olivi (1283). Between 1284/7 he acted as Magister Regens in Paris. During this ‘long’ regency (mendicant masters normally passed on the chair to their successor more quickly), probably caused by the premature death of several formed bachelors, Richard disputed de quolibet once a year. He also was heavily involved in debates with Henry of Ghent, Godfrey of Fontaines and Giles of Rome. After the conclusion of his regency, Richard was for a while lector at the Naples studium generale (where he also was the ‘magister et socius’ of the young Louis of Anjou. Cf. the latter’s Processus canonizationis p. 14) Provincial minister of Francia in 1295 and after. His theological works advocate central Franciscan elements, such as the doctrine of the plurality of forms, yet he abandoned the Bonaventurian notion of special divine illumination to certify the human understanding of universal concepts. Both Richard’s Sentences commentary and his Quodlibeta enjoyed a wide circulation during the late medieval period. His quodlibeta alone have been preserved in thirty manuscripts from all over Europe, and eventually were printed in 1509 by Lazaro Soardi in Venice.

Richardus de Santa Anna (Richard de Sainte-Anne/Lambert Trouvez, 1585-1622)

OFM, OFMRec & OFMDisc. Belgian friar. Born at Ham-Sur-Heure, a village in the Liège diocese in 1585 as the son of Spanish parents. Was a clothmaker apprentice when, at the age of 19, he joined the OFMRecollects in Nivelles/Nijvel, adopting the name Richard. At first, he was active in he order as a tailor, but he also was a staunch supporter of the Recollect reform. He was able to obtain a transfer to Italy, where he joined the Ara Coeli friary in Rome, and later the San Francesco friary in Trastevere, in Rome's popular quarters. He was chosen to become a missionary in the East Indies, and for that purpose transferred to the Discalceate Alcantarine order province of Madrid, adding to his name the 'surname' 'de Santa Anna'. He departed for the Philippines in 1608, via Mexico. Once arrived in the Philippines, he was ordained priest in Cebu, in 1611. He wished to be sent to Japan, where a number of Franciscans and Jesuits had been martyred a decade before. A first venture into Japan followed, but Richard soon had to return to the Philippines, as the Japanese authorities forbade Christian missionaries to reside on their lands. In 1617, in spite of this, and possibly encouraged by a temporary more positive attitude towards Christian missionaries of the emperor Cubosama, Richard returned to Japan in 1617 to become a clandestine missionary. This worked for about four years, but he was arrested at the end of 1621, kept for several months with a number of converts in a cage of some kind at Omura and then burned alive with 44 others (missionaries and adult converts) on 10 September 1622. Others were burned after decapitation. Richard was beatified on 7 July 1867 by Pope Pius IX. Several missionary letters by Richard on his missionary labors in Japan between 1617 and 1622 apparently have survived.

works

Several letters by him, sent in 1607, 1614, and 1622 were for a long time kept in the Archive of the Recollect friary of Nijvel and elsewhere, and some have been included in the hagiographies/biographies devoted to him in later centuries.

Richardus Ledrede (Ledredge, Lederede, 1275-1361?)

OM. English Franciscan friar from Surrey, who made a career in the Irish province. Spent some time in the London convent, before he, in all probability, embarked on (non-degree) studies at the Franciscan studium generale in Avignon, where he came under the attention of John XXII. Eventually he was ordained bishop of Ossory in Ireland (1317), where he proved himself a loyal servant of the English King Edward II. One of his first acts was to hold a synod to overcome the resentment of Irish and Anglo-Irish alike. The ordinances published afterwards prohibit concubinage, they condemn the farming out of benefices to laymen, the violation of sanctuary, and the celebration of clandestine marriages. During his long episcopate, he ran into a range of conflicts, predominantly with Anglo-Irish settlers. Besides, he became entangled with the succession struggles surrounding the English crown, which cost him the favour of the new King Edward III. This forced Richrd to spent a range of years on the continent and in England, away from his Irish diocese (between 1329 and 1349). Aside from his troubles with the Anglo-Irish, and his conflict with Edward III, Richard Ledrede is predominantly known for his zeal in persecuting alleged heretics. In this, he probably was following directives of the Avignon papacy. He probably also was more than keen to persecute as heretics some opponents of his episcopal politics. Most infamous is his role (during the early years of his episcopate) in the witchcraft persecution of Dame Alice Kyteler and her acquaintances. Alice herself, a wealthy Kilkenny woman, whose affluence had caused accusations of obtaining wealth with the help of the dark arts, was able to escape to England. But at least one other person belonging to this alledgedly `diabolical nest of heretics (to use Ledrede's own words), namely Alice's servant Petronella de Midia (Petronilla of Meath), after having confessed under torture, was burned at the stake in Kilkenny on November 3, 1324. According to John Clyn, this was the first execution for heresy in Ireland. Another Franciscan bishop, Roger Cradock, bishop of Waterford (1350-61) brough several Irish people to trial in Killaloe (where he did not have official jurisdiction). These people were burned in 1355. Richard continued his `inquisitional' activities throughout the active years of his episcopate. This brought him several enemies inside and outside his diocese (as can be seen from 1351 accusations that Ledrede was trumping up charges of heresy against simple people in order to extort money from them). Next to his rather ruthless dealings, Richard is foremost known for his Latin religious songs (to be sung on popular melodies, as can be deducted from the clichés or timbres that furnish twelve of Richard’s compositions, and indicate which melodies of popular secular songs should be used), to be performed during special feast days, and providing both laudatory as well as explicit categetical messages for the clerics in his service. With his Latin poetry, which have survived in the so-called ‘Red Book of Ossory’, Richard stood in a ‘Franciscan’ tradition (witness the Latin poetry of Grosseteste and Pecham, the English poetry of William Herebert and the French poetry of Nicholas Bozon, but also the wider Franciscan tradition alluded to by Salimbene, when he mentions how friar Henry of Pisa composed the Latin hymn Christe deus Christe meus, Christe rex et domine, after hearing a maidservant singing in the Pisan church a vernacular song (E s’tu no cure de me, E non curaro de te. Cf. Salimbene, Cronica, ed. Holder-Egger, 181-182). The editor Edmund Colledge suggests that Ledrede’s poems betray a religious sentimentality akin to that found in the Meditationes Vitae Christi and comparable works of Franciscan origin. Many of Ledrede’s hymns also contain direct or indirect references to hymns and antiphons found in the Franciscan breviary or other liturgical books.

works

The Red Book of Ossory (c. 1360): MS Kilkenny, Episcopal Library. On ff. 6-10 we find Ledrede’s synodal decrees, and on ff. 70r-77r are found his Latin poems, some of which follow the melodies of vernacular songs (cf. numbers 8, 11, 17, 18, 19, 22, 24, 28, 30, 34, 40, and 41). Thirteen songs deal with Christmas (numbers 1 to 5, 10, 41, 47-49, 56-58), ten are for the Epiphany (numbers 8, 11, 13, 15, 33, 35, 38, 39, 51, 59), and ten for Easter (numbers 19 to 28). The titles of the poems are: (1, f. 70a) Cantilena de nativitate domini (Verbo caro factum est); (2, f. 70a) Alia cantilena de eodem festo (Natus est de virgine); (3, f. 70b) De eodem Festo (Vale mater Christi, virgo regia, in te mea spes); (4, f. 70b) De eodem Festo (Nato Marie filio); (5, f. 70c) Lingua manu opere; (6, f. 70c) Fons salutis nostre plene; (7, f. 70d) En christi fit memoria; (8, f. 70d) have mercy of me frere-Laus Christo regi nato; (9, f. 70d) Da da nobis nunc; (10, f. 71a) De radice virginis; (11, f. 71a) Mayde yn the moore lay-peperit virgo, virgo regia; (12, f. 71a-b) Christi parentele-laus domini; (13, f. 71b) Jubila rutila mater ecclesia; (14, f. 71b) Vale virgo christifera; (115, f. 71c) Cum Christus nascitur de matre virgine; (16, f. 71c) Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter; (17 f. 71c-d) Alas hou sholdy synge-Succure mater Christi; (18, f. 71d) Harrow ieo su trahy Par fol amour de mal amy-Jhesu lux vera seculi; (19, f. 71d-72a) Have mercie on me frere barfote that ygo-Jam Christo moriente luxit ecclesia; (20, f. 72a) Resurexit dominus; (21, f. 72a-b) Dire mortis datus pene; (22, f. 72b) Do do nightyngale synges ful myrie-Dies ista gaudij; (23, f. 72b-c) En christi fit memoria, Plangentis Christi wlnera; (24, f. 72c-d) Have god day my lemmon et cetera-Resurgenti cum gloria gaudeat ecclesia; (25, f. 72d) Assunt festa paschalia gaudet mater ecclesia; (26, f 72d-73a) Resurexit a mortuis; (27, f. 73a) Dies venit dies tua; (28, f. 73b) Have merci of me frere-Maria noli flere sepulcro domini; (29, f. 73b) Languenti morbo funeris; (30, f. 73c) Gayneth me no garlond of greene bot hit ben of wythoues ywroght-Verum est quod legi satis plene codice sacro volumine; (31, f. 73c) Parens partum peperisti Jhesum dei filium; (32, f. 73c-d) Luca qua letatur mater ecclesia; (33, f. 73d) Rutilat ecclesia jubilat in mente; (34, f. 74a) Do do nyetyngale synges wel mury-Regem adoremus superne curie; (35, f. 74a-b) Gaude virgo mater christi; (36, f.74b) Christe redemptor omnium; (37, f. 74b-c) Miserans miserans parce redemptis; (38, f. 74c) Jhesu lux vera mencium; (39, f. 74c-d) Novum lumen apparuit; (40, f. 74d) Heu alas paramour-Vale mater virgo pura; (41, f. 74d-75a) Hey how the chavaldoures woke al nyght-En parit virgo regia en parit virgo regia; (42, f. 75a) Jhesu bone Jhesu pie; (43, f. 75a-b) Summe deus clemencie; (44, f. 75b) Scandenti supra sidera; (45, f. 75-b-c) O deus sancte spiritus; (46, f. 75c) Spiritus sanctus gracia in quo clarescunt omnia; (47, f. 75d) Canite canite wltu iocundo; (48, f. 75d) De solo rutilo sol alter oritur; (49, f. 76a) Verbum virgineum in venter properat; (50, f. 76a) Verbum virgineum inpregnans uterum; (51, f. 76b) Magi repatriant post data munera; (52, f. 76a-b) Maria decoquit panem salvificum; (53, f. 76b-c) Stupens intueor ventrem christifere; (54, f. 76d) O dei genitrix cui nulla similis; (55, f. 76d) Consendit Salamon ventrale ferculum; (56, f. 76d-77a) Maria virgo genuit manentem supra sidera; (57, f. 77a) Laudet cor deo deditum divinum natalicium; (58, f. 77a) O verbum dei filius deus origine; (59, f. 77a-b) Caritate nimia letemur hodie nos deo diligente; (60, f. 77b) Videbitis qualis et quantis Error in illecebris mundi sit.

As James Clark (2009), 258 said: 'Trevytlam's assault rehearsed the proscriptions of the canonists, and of their patristic archetypes: the monk out of the cloister is but a fish out of water. Trevytlam also introduced a new dimension to the debate over the scholar monks. Not only were they aliens in the academic community, thay also challenged its probity and purity, pursuing controversial and secular studies rather than theology.'].

Rizzerio di Muccia (Riccerio da Muccia/Rizerio della Muccia, 1190 - 1236), beatus

OM. Italian friar from Camerino. Studied law at Bologna university. In the sommer of 1220 (15 August), he heared Francis of Assisi preaching in Bologna (after his return from the Middle East). Together with his fellow student Pellegrino da Fallerone, Rizzerio asked Francis to accept him in the order. After his noviciate, Rizzerio spent some time with Francis in a Franciscan hermitage in the Rieti valley. Later, he became provincial minister of the March of Ancona province. After eight years of administrative duties as provincial minister, Rizzerio retreated to a cave north of Muccia where, according to the hagiographical tradition, he died on 7 February 1236. He was buried in a nearby chapel. After centuries of local veneration, he was officially beatified on 14 December 1838. To him are ascribed (with some uncertainty) several works, such as a Tractatus Utilissimus/Trattato Ascetico, Qualiter Anima, a series of Dicta Moralia etc.

works

Tractatus Utilissimus/Trattato Ascetico/Qualiter Anima: at least 10 and possibly even 21 manuscripts survive of the Latin version, a.o. Laurenz. Cod. Lat. Gadd.XXVIII, Plut.90.Inf ff. 169-172; Rome, Archivio del Collegio di Sant’Isidoro Cod. 1/85. There are also 5 Latin editions from the 16th century (Louvain, 1554; Venice, 1537, 1538, 1543, 1553). There also exists a thirteenth-century Italian translation (according to some made by Jacopone da Todi) as well as a fourteenth-century Italian verion. The Latin version has been edited in: S. Chiumenti, Il Beato Rizzerio (Perugia, 1977), 129-176. On the Italian version, see, M. Faloci-Pulignani, ‘Il trattato di Riccerio da Muccia’, Miscellanea Francescana 8 (1908), 113-116; DSpir VIII, 22 & E. Menestò, ‘Il ‘Tractatus utilissimus’ attribuito a Jacopone da Todi’, Studi Medievali 18 (1977), 261-314. A modern Italian translation by A. Ghinato can be found in Vita Minorum 30 (1959), 263-270. Another Italian translation, based on a transcription of the Florentine manuscript, can be found in C. Vaiani, `Rizzerio di Muccia (d. 1236)', in: I mistici. Scritti dei mistici francescani, secolo XIII, ed. L. Iriarte, L. Temperini, C. Bove & E. Cardi (Assisi, 1995), I, 39-63: ‘Come l’anima può giungere rapidamente alla conoscenza delle verità e possedere la pace perfetta.’ The work had a surprizingly large diffusion in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: An English translation of the work was included in the 1583 edition of the Manual of Prayer of the Anglican Church [Full title of the Latin work is: Quomodo potest homo/anima ad veritatis cognitionem pervenire et perfectam pacem possidere. In 52 reflections, the author sketches the way to arrive at the knowledge of christian truth and the possession of veritable peace of mind and soul. The start is a retreat from the things of the world and from the self, thus making it possible for God to take possession of the soul. Thus, God becomes the light with which one can see the true reality of all things, through which one 's virtues are fully perfected and by which both the corporal senses and the spiritual sense is fully made at peace. The conclusion of the work stresses the importance of self-negation and of becoming dead to the created world.]

Dicta Moralia (ascription insecure) [ascetical counsels to help the individual on his way towards spiritual perfection]. See for instance The Speedy Way to Perfection: Or, The Words of Brother Ricerius of Marchia, a Companion of the Blessed Father, St. Francis, Declaring how a Man May Come to the Knowledge of the Truth in a Short Time, ed.

Robertus Caracciolus de Licio (Roberto Caracciolo da Lecce/Robertus Liciensis, c. 1425-1495)

OMConv & OMObs. Italian friar. Received his early education by the Conventual Franciscans in Lecce, but made his profession as an Observant friar (S. Maria del Tempio friary). From 1448 onwards great successes as preacher and organiser of processions against the plague, and as promotor of social peace. Gave the official eulogy during the canonization ceremonies for Bernardine of Siena (1450), and made various preaching tours through the Italian peninsula (was called a ‘second Paul’). Switched to the Conventuals in May 1452, during or after the General Chapter of S. Giuliano dell'Aquila, which fuelled the conflicts between the rivalling branches. Caraccioli received a lot of support at the papal curia, and was granted almost full freedom of movement in 1454 by papal bull (Nicholas V). Caracciolo preached the crusade against the Turcs. Calixt III appointed him to the position of apostolic collector for the Roman region (1455), and subsequently for Lombardy and Monferrato. Also made pontifical chaplain in 1456. Good contacts with Francesco Sforza and with cardinal Bessarion from ca. 1464 onwards. After 1470, Caracciolo preached predominantly in Southern Italy (Naples. Lecce). Sixtus IV appointed him bishop of Aquino on 25 October 1475. In February 1484, he was transferred to the diocese of Lecce, but Innocent VIII returned him at his own request to Aquino. Carcciolo nevertheless was quite frequently in Lecce afterwards, also to oversee the imprint of his sermons, and died there on March [May?] 6, 1495. He was buried in the church of San Francesco della Scarpa.

In the course of his career, and especially once he was made bishop, Caracciolo published several sermon collections (making avid use of the new possibilities offered by the printing press), which went through more than 100 editions all over Europe. Until now, there is not a full overview of his actual production. Apparently, Oriana Visanni is presently working on a list of all manuscripts.
Roberto called himself a pupil of the sermon style of Bernardino da Siena and mentioned in his Sermo de Sancto Bernardino some 20 famous Franciscan preachers who were in this ‘Bernardine school’: ‘Quin imo et si qui post ipsum in officio predicandi clari sunt habiti ut fratres Joannes de Capistrano, Jacobus de Marchia, Mattheus de Sicilia, Antonius de Botonto, Andreas de Sancto Geminio, Joannes de Prato, Jacobus de Doncellis de Bononia, Herculanus de Perusio, Franciscus de Trevio, Silvester de Senis, Antonius de Ariminio, Michael de Mediolano, Bartholomeus de Ayano, Antonius de Vercellis, Seraphinus de Gaieta, Cherubinus de Spoleto, Franciscus de Spoleto, Hieronimus de Florentia, Dominicus de Gonessa, Jacobus de Gallio: omnes fratres minores in hoc genere dicendi famosissimi et quicumque alii etiam de aliis ordinibus mendicantium pro maiori parte conati sunt imitari modum et regulam atque stilum ipsius sancti Bernardini (…) Ego etiam (…) Bernardinum habui in stilo pronunciandi necnon scribendi patrem et precectorem…’ Robertus Caracciolus, Sermones de Laudibus Sanctorum (Venice, 1489), f. 200 (Rome, Biblioteca Angelica Inc. 538). Cited from Michele Monaco, ‘Aspetti di vita privata e pubblica nelle citta’ italiane centro-settentrionali durante il XV secolo nelle prediche del beato Bernardino da Feltre Francescano dell’Osservanza’, in: L’Uomo e la storia. Studi storici in onore di Massimo Petrocchi, Storia e letteratura. Raccolta di studi e testi 153 (Rome, 1983), 77-196, 88-89.[interestingly, some important Italian Observant preachers are absent in this list, such as Bernardino da Feltre]

works

Opera Omnibus collections: Several collections contain a selection of his various sermon collections. Among these, we can single out the Opera Varia (Venice, 1479/etc.); Opera Varia (Venice, 1496/Lyon, 1500). Aside from these editions, we can point to number of individual collections (see there)

Caracciolo’s most successful work, both in mss format and in print. Juan de San Antonio gives a list of the sermons in this collection, based on the 1482 Venice edition]

Quadragesimale: MS Munich cgm 4700. We still need to checked whether this collection corresponds with some of the incunable Lenten collections mentioned separately.

Quadragesimale de Peccatis (Venice: Andreas de Toreanis de Asula, 1488/Lyon, 1488) [For more editions, see Zawart, 295/6; Bastanzio (1947); Zafarana (1976); Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke, nos. 6080-6085]

Robertus Chamberlane (Robert Chamberlain, 1570/71–1636)

OFM. Irish Franciscan friar from Niselrath (Rathneestin, county of Louth). He apparently joined the Franciscans (at Drogheda, which was mentioned in his testament?) and studied theology at Salamanca, although his name does not appear on the surviving list of students at the Irish College there from 1595. After his studies he became confessor and counsellor to Hugh O'Neill, earl of Tyrone. He lived in O’Neill’s household in Ireland in 1599. In 1600 or 1601 the same earl sent Chamberlain back to Spain, possibly to act as a tutor for his son Henry at the university of Salamanca, and for other, more business-related activities. Several years later, in 1605, Robert was in the Southern Low Countries, again with members of the O’Neill family, and in 1606, he was apparently in London on a secret mission, as an agent for the earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell. In August of the same year, the Spanish King Philip III provided him with a stipend of 30 crowns a month for services by him and his family to the Spanish army in Flanders. The documents connected with the stipend indicate that five of Robert Chamberlain's brothers had served in the Irish wars, and that two had died there. On 21 October 1607, Robert met up with the exiled earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell in Douai (Southern Low Countries/now North-Western France) and with the Franciscan friar Florence Conry. Robert probably went with the latter to Louvain, where Conry was able to establish an Irish Franciscan study house/friary. In subsequent years, with ongoing financial support from the Spanish crown, Robert Chamberlain divided his time between Louvain and Spain, in part to support diplomatical and business affairs of the earls of Tyrone and Tyrconnell. From february 1610 onwards, Robert Chamberlain lectured philosophy and theology at the Franciscan study house at Louvain, and became involved with the publication of a number of pastoral and theological works by himself and especially by others (for instance obtaining official permission for the publication of Bonaventura O'Hussey's Irish catechism). As late as 1621/22, he apparently traveled several times to Rome on behalf of the earl of Tyrone, possibly to help prepare an invasion of Ireland, and in the context of a prospected marriage of one of Tyrone’s son with a Spanish noble woman. After the death of Hugh MacCaughwell OFM (1626), Robert Chamberlain was asked for the position of archbishop of Armagh, yet he apparently refused. He died at St Anthony's College, Louvain, on 11 June 1636. He wrote himself in Irish, Latin, English and Spanish, and his works ranged from theological treatises, to Irish poetry (although the authorship of at least two Latin epitaphs on Philip III and Archduke Albert might also have been the work of his nephew Christoper Chamberlain). Two of Robert’s poems ended up in the poetic dispute collection Iomarbhágh na bhFileadh (‘Contention of the bards’, which raged between 1616-1624 in the context of the English settlement of Ireland following the Tudor and later the Stuart conquests, the flight of Irish earls and the English plantation of Ulster in 1610).

Robertus Cowton (fl. ca. 1340)

OM. English Franciscan friar and theologian. He took his name from Cowton in the North of Yorkshire. He entered the order at a young age (possibly before the age of fourteen, and he started his theological studies (lectorate program?) in Oxford shortly before 1300. In July of 1300 the Bishop of Lincoln refused to give Cowton and other friars a licence to hear confession. Cowton entered the degree program around 1304: between that year and 1311 he lectured on the Sentences pro gradu. He might have obtained the doctorate, but he did not become a regent master in Oxford or Cambridge. Cowton’s Sentences commentary, which was used by a number of late medieval authors (including Robert Walsingham and Giacomo da Ascoli), is his only surviving work. It refers to the Ordinatio of John Duns Scotus (=Opus Oxoniense) and the Sentences commentary of William Nottingham. Cowton’s commentary survives in ca. 20 manuscripts. It was considered sufficiently important to receive an abbreviation by Richard Snettisham (early fifteenth century), which survives in 13 manuscripts, and yet another one by an anonymous compiler (surviving in two manuscripts). In many ways, Cowton did not follow Scotus (although Cowton did defend the immaculate conception), but adhered on many issues to older theological conceptions. From that perspective, the number of surviving manuscripts of his Sentences commentary is rather significant. Other works ascribed to Cowton, including quodlibetal questions, Disputationes magistrales, and sermons have not yet been identified.

Robertus de la Bassée (Robertus de Bascia (in some older catalogues also known as Robert de Russia), d. 1280?)

OM. French (Flemish?) friar from La Bassée, near Lille (Rijssel). Entered the order in the French province. Studied at the Paris studium generale, where he eventually lectured on the Sentences as Baccalaureus Sententiarum. Not known whether he reached the magisterium. Took part in the Franciscan committee that made a commentary on the Franciscan rule (1241, Expositio Quattuor Magistrorum). Custos of Arras in 1254; approved the renovation of the Lille convent. Probably died c. 1280. To him are ascribed various works, such as a Liber de Anima, a Commentarium in Quatuor Libros Sententiarum, and several sermons. These works have not yet been found. According to some, Robert would have been part of the team that prepared the first redaction of the Summa Halensis. The fact that Rober was one of the four ‘magistri’ asked to provide a dependable rule commentary in 1241 (a commentary that was accepted on the general chapter of Bologna (1242) and became a starting point for many later rule commentaries), shows that he was a well-respecte theological authority within the order.

Robertus de Leicester (Robert of Leicester, d. after 1300)

OM. English friar and computist. Studied and taught at the Oxford Studium, where he was the 48th Franciscan regent master. In 1294, he dedicated to Richard Swinfield, bishop of Hereford, his treatise De Ratione Temporum sive de Computo Hebraeorum Aptato ad Kalendarium Latinorum, which in a way implements a part of Bacon's ideas concerning the renovation of the sciences (see his remarks in the Opus Majus and in the Opus Tertium. In the 1320s, he still was resident of the Oxford convent, and one of the two magistri extranei of Balliol college. He might have died at Lichfield in 1348 (yet A.G. Little thinks that there is no proof of that). Aside from this computist work, he also must have produced a Sentences commentary, Quodlibeta, and an Enchiridion Paenitentiale. He possibly also produced biblical commentaries and a series of distinctiones. Only De Ratione Temporum and the Enchiridion Paenitentiale can be charted in the manuscripts. If he is to be identified with the other Robert of Leicester, and that seems likely, he is also the author of a treatise De Paupertate Christi, and then the two entries have to be merged.

Robertus de Leicester (Leicestrius/Legicester/Robert of Leicester, d. after 1325)

OM. Eglish friar. Present in Avignon around 1322-1324 in the context of the poverty controversy. Thereafter Doctor in theology at Oxford in 1324 and regent lector at Oxford between 1324-5 (48th Franciscan regent lector there). In July 1325 mentioned as one of the two magistri extranei of Balliol College. Aside from his writings on Franciscan poverty, none of his works (including possibly an Apocalypse commentary. based on his magisterial biblical lectures) seem to have survived. There is some uncertainty concerning the date of his death. Bale suggests he died at Lichfield in 1348, whereas Little mentions the death of a friar named Robert of Leicester in 1334. This Entry probably has to be merged with that of the other Robert of leicester.

Robert Messier (Robert Le Messier, d. 1546)

OMConv & OFM. French friar. Took the habit in the Amiens convent in the French province (c. 1480?). Studied theology and reached the magisterium theologiae at the University of Paris. Guardian of the Amiens convent in 1497. Apparently had some difficulties at the custodial and provincial level when he tried to introduce the regular Observance in the Amiens convent (1502). Thereupon minister general Aegidius Delphini chose him and a colleague to reform all not yet Observant convents in the French province (1503, cf. AFH 69 (1976), 118-120). Robert was guardian of the Troyes convent (1504), commissioner for the minister general at the Paris convent (1525), and guardian of the Paris convent (1526). Two times (1523 and 1529) he was chosen provincial minister of the French province, and afterwards he was for some years custodian of the Vermandois custody (1532-1535). In the late 1530s or early 1540s he retreated as confessor to the monastery of Sorores Minores of Longchamp, where already during the 1520s he had acted as spiritual counsellor of the nuns. He died there on 23 July 1546, and was buried in the convent church (not far from the grave of the beatified Isabelle of France (d. 1270)). During his lifetime, Robert Messier published a sermon collection (Super Epistolas, February 1525/new edition in 1531). Aside from this, he wrote an Adresse de Salut for the Poor Clare Marie de Livres of Longchamp. According to the Acta Sanctorum (AASS 31 August VI (Antwerp, 1743), 796-797), Robert would also have composed an Officium for the commemoration of Isabelle of France. Thus far, this latter work has not been found.

[The 1525 edition, an exemplar of which can be found at the Franciscan provincial library of Toulouse, contains a privilege accorded by the parliament of Paris, mentioning Robert Messier as commissioner for the minister general at the Grand Couvent de Paris. Both editions contain a complete cycle of sermons from Ash Wednesday to the Octave of Easter, going back to sermons held in Paris, 1513. The 1524/5 Claude Chevallon edition and the 1531 Andreas Boucard edition are apparently accessible via Google Books.]

Adresse de Salut: MS Paris BN Français 1888 ff. 1-136v [The manuscript is a 1523 copy made by the Franciscan friar François Le Herice, who at that time was confessor at Longchamp. The work, adressed at the sister Marie de Livres (and other female religious of the Sorores Minores of Longchamp) consists of two books. The first one (ff. 1-34v) deals with the road of purgation. It means to purge the spiritual eyes by means of three ‘journeys’: through confusion, confession and satisfaction. The second book (ff. 35r-136v) follows the road of illumination, and focuses on the gifts of God that illuminate our attempts at sanctifying the self, namely proper confidence, the help of the guardian angel, Christ’s redeeming work, the efficacy of grace, the usefulness of creation as an image of God, Holy Scripture, the sacraments, spiritual peace, etc. The author made abundant use of biblical citations, images and analogies drawn from sacred and profane history, and repeatedly refers to the Church fathers (esp. Augustine) and acknowledged meditative authorities (notably Bernard of Clairveaux). According to Robert Sauzet (1994), 169, the work was also edited in 1523 and 1531, but we have as yet not found these editions]

Rodulfus Rodimpton (Radulphus Radiptorius/Robertus Radiptonus, fl. early 14th cent)

OM. English friar. Allegedly the author of various Bible commentaries, a Sentences commentary, philosophical and theological quaestiones and a Liber de antichristo. None of these works have survived? When he and Radulphos de Retos are the same person, we can also ascribe to him several sermons.

Rudolphus Gasser (Rudolphus Suitensis/Rudolphus von Schwyz/Rudolf Gasser/Josef Karl Seewen, 1647-1709)

OFMCap. Swiss friar. Born on 21 April, 1647 as son of Johann Rudolf and Maria Clara Ceberg. Entered the Capucin order in Altdorf in 1664. Studied arts and theology in Luzern, Solothurn and later at the Helvetian College of Milan (established by Carolus Boromeus). After that, he embarked on a career as catechistic preacher and religious controversialist. Guardian of the monastery of Schwyz between 1689 and 1692. Between 1692-95 guardian in Näfels and from 1697 in Rapperswil. Between 1700 and 1703 guardian in Wil, after 1704 in Zug and after 1707 in Arth. He also worked as urban preacher in Zug, Sursee and Solothurn. After his appointment as guardian of the Näfels friary in 1692, he wrote in defense of Swiss Catholics in the Glaris canton. The subsequent controvery made that he had to leave the Glarus canton in 1695. This did not stop his polemic altercations, however, for instance with the Protestant authors Johann Heinrich Fäsi, Claudius Schobinger and Anton Tschudi. Aside from his defensory and polemic works, he is known for his large catechism, the massive 3 volume courtly as well as heroic 'romance' Außforderung Mit Aller-demütigst gebottnem Vernunft-Trutz... (1686-88), sermon collection and a dialogue on Scripture (Warheits-Sonne. Das ist Die Heilige Schrift).

Rogerus Baco (Roger Bacon, 1214-1292)

OM. English friar. Possibly from the Ilchester or Gloucester region. Studied the liberal arts at Oxford (either c. 1227/28 or 1235/6), where, according to some modern scholars, he was influenced by the teachings of Grosseteste. Further studies of the arts in Paris and active as master of arts (before 1245). Return to Oxford ca. 1251. Pursuit of sciences and study of theology. In 1257 return to Paris, ailments. Ca. 1256/7 entrance in the Franciscan order. According to established historiographical traditions, Robert was repeatedly under attack by order superiors for his scientific enthousiasm (which exhibited itself in a wide range of writings), and was regularly held in confinement. This is to en extent questioned by more recent scholarship (for instance by Amanda Power). He was asked by pope Clement IV to present his scholarly reformist, in part apocalyptically inspired, educational program in 1267. This resulted in Bacon's triple Opus: the Opus Majus, the Opus Minus and the Opus Tertium. In the 1270s and after, Bacon held several teaching positions and continued his academic output on a large number of issues. He died shortly after the completion of his Compendium Studii Theologiae in 1292. Throughout the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Bacon’s influence can predominantly be traced in the fields of epistemology/semantics, perspective theory/optics, (al)chemy/medicine, and interpretations of ‘scientia experimentalis’.

Rogerus Conway (Rogerus Conubajus/Connovius/Roger Conway, d. 1360?)

OM. Welsh friar from Conwy (northern Wales). He might have entered the Franciscan order in Chester. He did his degree studies at Oxford, reaching the magisterium theologiae in February 1355, when he possibly was already guardian of Worcester. The same year, he received permission to join the London friary, fulfilled several charges there (almoner, lector), and was acting provincial minister in 1357-1358. In London, he developed into a prominent defender of mendicant poverty against Richard Fitzralph, archbishop of Armagh. In 1358, he and the Dominican provincial John Tatenhall headed a delegation that traveled to Avignon in 1358, asking the pope to compel the English bishops to punish those who badmouthed mendicant friars and challenged their preaching, begging and confession privileges. Roger Conway is known for a number of writings in defense of mendicant life and mendicant pastoral care, notably in reaction to the writings of Fitzralph (see below). Conway probably died in the London friary in 1360. According to Katherine Walsh, he legated three or more manuscripts with patristic, homiletic, exegetical and canon law materials to the friary of Chester (three eventually ended up in the London Gray's Inn library).

Romualdus Parmensis (Romualdo da Parma/Aquilante Ugolini di Castellina, 1590-1677)

OFMCap. Italian friar from Parma. Son of Count Giacomo Antonio Ugolini di Castellina & Countess Margherita. Chose the name Romualdo when he took the Capuchin habit on 22 May 1611 at Faenza. Active as a preacher in Cesena, Udine, Brescia, Novara, Imola, Parma, Faenza, Padua, and elsewhere. Also lector of philosophy in Bologna (1625), lector of theology in Piacenza (1628-9) and again in Bologna (1629). During the plague epidemic of 1629-31, the Duke Odoardo Farnese and other civil and ecclesiastical authorities left town and delegated all power (worldly and ecclesiastical) to Romualdo, who with the assistance of the local Jesuits and Capuchins (including the guardian Antonio Scutellari da Parma) organised the fight against the plague. Once the work was done in Parma, Romualdo continued to take care of plague victims in Bologna and Romagna, at times in the company of his fellow friar Paolo Angelini da Cesena, traveling throughout the region to offer their services. Subsequently, Romualdo had a range of order assignments: guardian of Reggio (1632-33), provincial definitor (1634), general visitator (1638). When the provincial minister Giusto Nobili da Montolmo stepped down, Romualdo took charge of his order province as general visitator. He was again definitor in 1640, 1641, 1644, 1645, 1647 and 1648, combining this function with being guardian of Capuchin friaries in Modena, Parma, Faenza and Bologna. He was elected provincial in 1649. In 1651, when he was up for re-election, Duke Ranuccio II of Parma asked him to become part of an ambassadorial mission to the court of Philip IV of Spain to obtain compensation for the support of Spanish troops passing through the Duchy. Once back in Italy, Romualdo was again provincial definitor in 1653 and 1654 as well as provincial minister (1655-1656). At the general chapter of 1656, he was elected general definitor for the order with the task to reorganize the Capuchin statutes. As a result he was forced to stay in Rome, also due to new plague outbreaks throughout Italy. His return to his home province was eventful, and for a while many people thought he had drowned. In 1658, he was visitator of the Milan province, and this was followed with new stints as provincial definitor (1660/1661), and an assignment as visitator of the Marches province, where he was elected provincial. After that, he accepted a final guardianship in Parma in 1670. He died in Parma on 24 January 1677. During his stints as guardian and provincial, he took position against outside interference. As a result, he sometimes became entangled in conflicts, for instance with the cardinal legate Fabrizio Savelli. Romualdo is sometimes confused with three Capuchin namesakes: Romualdo di Modena, who as Capuchin chaplain was present at the prolongued, 21 year long Ottoman siege of Candia/Heraklion (active there as chaplain in and after 1653); the Capuchin preacher Romualdo da Parma (Francesco Maria Mirra Vitale, 1688-1749); Romualdo da Parma (Alessandro Benedetto Ignazio Ugolini di Castellini, 1697-1773), who was in fact from the same family and was active as missionary in Brasil from 1734 onward.

Rudolphus Altheimer (fl. late 14th cent.)

OM. German friar. Member of the Strasbourg province. Active as preacher, both in Germany, and in Rome.

Rudolfus de Biberach (Rudolph von Biberach, ca. 1270 - after 1326)

OM. German friar from Biberach (neighbourhood of Ulm). Predominantly active in the vicinity of Strasbourg. Between 1304-1319 confessor and executor-testamentair of the Strasbourg Hauwart family. Famous spiritual teacher. By papal privilege he became confessor at the court of the dying duke Leopold of Austria (who also was ‘Landgraf’ of Alsace since 1314; died 28 February 1326). According to two manuscripts, he was lector at the Studium Generale of Strasbourg (Fribourg, Cordelier 107 & Fribourg Cordelier 136, f. 142: `…septem itinera eternitatis compilata et collecta a fratre Rudolpho de Biberach Lectore Ordinis Fratrum Minorum' & f. 68r: `…compilatus a lectore de Bibraco in Argentina.'; probably between 1304 and 1319, when he appears in charters of the city of Strasbourg, as confessor and executor of the will of the Hauwart family). Some other manuscripts indicate further academic activities at Paris, as well as a master degree (Cf. Venice Marc. CCXLV ff. 256v & Oxford, Bodl. 8, f. 1r: `…editus a reverendo magistro fratre Rudolfo de Bibracho ordinis fratrum minorum.'; Lambach 102 f. 149ra; Glorieux, Répertoire des maîtres en théologie, II (Paris, 1933), no. 305.50, 352 & 360). Apparently, Rudolf did not pursue further academic interests for long after obtaining his alleged master degree. He is foremost famous for his penitential works, his affective spiritual works (in particular his De Septem Itineribus Aeternitatis, which amounts to a form of sythematic theological mysticism), and his sermons. His mystical works received several translations in Medieval German and Medieval Dutch. [For editions and manuscripts of these translations, see esp. M. Schmidt, in , Die deutsche Literatur des Mittelalters. Verfasserlexikon, VIII, 319-321] Interestingly [as we can conclude on the basis of : Die siben Strassen zu Got, ed. M. Schmidt, Spicilegium Bonaventurianum, VI (Quaracchi, 1969), 24*-26*], the (Latin) work was more popular among the Carthusians and the Augustinian canons, as well as among secular clercs than among Franciscans and Dominicans. Apparently, Rudolf’s writings did fit very well in the predominantly ascetical and mystical character of the Carthusian religious life. [For the late medieval and early modern (up till the 18th cent.) reception and use by other authors, see in particular the same work of Schmidt, pp. 33*-53*].

Work has a strong compilatory character and gives prominence to the cognitio Dei experimentalis. See for further information DSpir XIII, 847-850 and the works of M. Schmid, esp. her edition of the German translation, pp. 10*-17*, where she lists no less than 109 manuscripts of the Latin work from all over Europe. Maybe the popularity of the work was enhance by the fact that it was often transcribed under the name of Bonaventure.]
De Septem Itineribus Aeternitatis (at least 109 mss) has received several editions: S. Bonaventurae Opera, ed. A.C. Peltier (Paris, 1866), VII, 393-482; De Septem Itineribus Aeternitatis, ed. M. Schmidt (with introd. and corrections of the Peltier edition), Mystik in Geschichte und Gegenwart. Texte und Untersuchungen I (Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, 1985); A full fourteenth-century German translation of De Septem Itineribus Aeternitatis, has survived under the title Dis sint die siben Strassen die in Gott wisent: MS Einsiedeln 278 f. 3a-147b. This translation (dating from ca. 1346-1360), which apparently is very faithfull and gives creative vernacular renderings of the Latin theological concepts, probably was made in the neighbourhood of Basel. This translation was edited as: Die siben Strassen zu Got, ed. M. Schmidt, Spicilegium Bonaventurianum, VI (Quaracchi, 1969) & ed. M. Schmidt (with modern German translation), Mystik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, Texte und Untersuchungen, I, 2 (Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, 1985).
