Scipio Bellabona (Scipione Bellabona, fl. mid 17th cent.)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Born in 1603 in Avellino. Member of the Naples province (active in Avellino and in other friaries of the province). Bachelor of theology. Known for a vernacular history of Avellino. His work later drew criticism from other regional historians, because of Bellabona's tendency to include phantastical events and random details. A first work by him with histories of local saints and marvellous events drew so much opposition that the Archbishop of Naples would have had the work burned in 1644. Undaunted, Scipione re-issued some of the same materials in 1656 in his Raguagli della Città d'Avellino. Some parts of the work condemned to the flames that were not included in the 1656 Raguagli della Città d'Avellino are still accessible in manuscript format. According to the introduction of the Raguagli, Scipione wished to publish two other works on the sacred history of Avellino. Yet these volumes, referred to as Avellino sacro and La Chiara, Luce, possibly including many of the materials that were destroyed in 1644, never made it to the printing press. The manuscript of Avellino Sacro seems traceable. It is unknown as to whether La Chiara, Luce was ever completed.

works

Vita di S. Modestino Vescovo e Compagni", dei SS. Martiri di Avellino e del vescovo Ruggero: MS Naples, Biblioteca Nazionale racc. Vill. C-350. [in part materials included in the work that was burned in 1644?].

Avellino Sacro: One manuscript, once was kept in the Archivio Capitolare di Avellino, seems lost. Another one seems to be available in Naples, Biblioteca Nazionale x-d-22, yet this might not be exactly the envisaged Avellino Sacro mentioned in the introduction to the Raguagli della Città d'Avellino, but another part of the work devoted to saints destroyed in 1644. This needs further scrutiny. The manuscript was used by Francesco De Franchi for his Avellino illustrato da'santi, e da'santuari (Naples, 1709).

Raguagli della Città d'Avellino (Trani: Lorenzo Valerii, 1656). A later facsilime reprint of this work issued in Bologna is accessible via Google Books.

An epigram written by Scipione Bellabona was included in Michele Giustiniani, La Gloriosa morte de' diciotto fianculli Giustiniani (Avellino, 1656).

He worked in Capuchin circles and, with special dispensation from his order superiors, also at the courts of the dukes of Parma and Mantua. Following court intrigues at the Mantuan court and rumours about an illicit relationship with a woman (a certain Bianca), he became active in Rome, where he fulfilled artistic assignments for his order between 1622 and 1629. Thereafter active in several Capuchin houses, and again for the dukes of Parma, and the counts of Prato at Domegliara (Verona). In 1646, the order asked him to transfer to the Capuchin house of Caltagirone (Catania), here he decorated the convent chapel. And a year later he worked in Sicily. Later in life, he worked in Lugano, San Francesco a Mendrisio, and again in Verona, where he apparently died in or after 1654.

Sixtus a Vesoul (Sixte de Vesoul/Jean Paris, 1736-1792)

OFMCap. French Capuchin friar. Born in 1736 in Montagney-les-Vesoul. He joined the order at a young age, adopting the name Sixte, in memory of the Franciscan pope Sixtus IV. He was sent to Paris for further study and there joined a famous group of 'capucins de la société Hébraique', or the Academia Clementina/Societas Hebraico-Clementina (with other members like Jérôme d' Arras and Louis de Poix). After the death of Louis de Poix, Sixte became leader of that group, responsible for the correspondence with European erudites and the edition of exegetical and other works. He also was a member of the Academia degli Arcadi de Rome. He was the translator of the Histoire de la première croisade of Matthew of Edessa and he wrote a Prospectus d'un Dictionnaire arménien. Several exegetical publications of the Academia Clementina/Societas Hebraico-Clementina are mentioned in the entry devoted to Louis de Poix (see: Ludovicus de Poix) elsewhere on this site.

Sixtus Le Tac (Sixte Le Tac, d. 1716)

OFMRec. French (Norman) Franciscan missionary from Rouen. Born around 1650. He made his profession in 1668 and probably was ordained priest in 1673. Three years later, he was sent to Nouvelle-France, where he became active as a priest in Québec (Bourg-Royal) and later in a parish in Trois-Rivières. He also worked as a missionary-priest in other neighbouring areas (Nicolet, Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Rivière-du-Loup, Gentilly etc.). In 1683, he came back to the town of Quebec, where he became director of third-order communities and novice master in the Notre Dame des Anges friary. Six years later, in 1689, he was made the leader of the new prospective mission in Plaisance (on the Island of Terre-Neuve), but a conflict with governor Parat blocked his deployment. Sixte returned to France the same year, taking up religious duties in his home friary of Rouen. He died there in August 10, 1718. Several scholars have ascribed to him a short Histoire chronologique de la Nouvelle France ou Canada depuis sa découverte jusques en l’an 1632, which was edited in 1888, but this is probably the work of Exupère Dethune.

Sixtus Senensis (d. 1569)

OFMConv. Italian friar. Biblical exegete and theologian. Supposedly of Hebrew descent. Entered the Franciscan order and embarked on a homiletic career. In 1551, he was persecuted by the Inquisition for the predestination positions in his Venetian sermons. He was almost condemned to be burned at the stake, but he retracted and was pardoned by the Dominican inquisitor Antonio Michele Ghislieri (future Pope Pius V), who made him transfer to the Dominicans, where he worked alongside with inquisitors in Cremona (as member of the Tribunal of Inquisition) and collected Hebrew books. He is known for his Bibliotheca sancta ... ex praecipuis catholicae Ecclesiae auctoribus collecta (1566), which is a filological and critical introduction to biblical scholarship. Sisto died in Genoa, Liguria.

works

Bibliotheca sancta ... ex praecipuis catholicae Ecclesiae auctoribus collecta (Venice: Griffio, 1566). This work is considered the most comprehensive introduction to the Christian Bible authored issued during the 16th century. It was innovative in its terminology, introducing for instance the term Deuterocanonic for a number of old-testamental texts. The work consists of eight parts, and provides an introduction to the structure and order of the Bible/biblical books; an explanatory dictionary of all authors and writings mentioned in the Scriptures; a comparative introduction to the exegetical principles and techniques of biblical interpretation; a bio-bibliography of a large host of Catholic biblical exegetes; select annotations and elucidations of difficult scriptural passages from Genesis to the Apocalypse; a denunciation and elucidation of false or heretical interpretations of passages from the OT and NT, and concluding with various indices, including an index of heretics.

Sopramons de Varisio (Sopramonte da Varese/Supramons de Varisio/Mediolanis/Superanzio da Varese, fl. early thirteenth century)

OM. Italian Franciscan preacher at Padua and first provincial minister of Lombardy in 1230 (questioned by Alfredo Lucioni) and again in 1242. His own Sermones de Tempore/Sermones in circulum anni are a clear testimony to the Franciscan emphasis on penitence, evangelical poverty, the fight against usury, the proper behaviour of clerics, the importance of social peace and charity (as a necessary counterpart to faith), and the utility of preaching. His sources were, aside from Anthony of Padua, Philip the Chancellor, Hugh of Saint Cher (Postilla). See also the studies of Rigon and Eleonora Lombardo.

works

Sermones Dominicales per circulum anni: MSS Paris, Bibliothèque Mazarine 1043; MS Pavia, Biblioteca Universitaria Aldini 173, ff. 1ra-36rb. The Padua manuscript, which contains 57 sermons, ascribes them to Sopramons, whereas the Paris manuscript does not offer an author name for the collection. Antonio Rigon (1992), 196: ‘I temi dei suoi Sermoni domenicali (…) sono la penitenza e la povertà, l’usura e l’eresia, il clero e la cultura, la Chiesa e la curia romana, la pace e la predicazione.’ Sopramonte made use of the sermons of Antonio da Padova. Interesting: stress not only on faith but also on works of charity as the dual elements making up a good Christian life.

Stanislaus Dominicus Kleczewski (Stanislaw Dominik Kleczewski/Stanis/aw Kleczewski Stanislas Dominique, 1714-1776)

OFMRef. Polish friar from Cracow. Philosopher, linguist and order administrator. Born in October 1714, he studied at the school of the Church of Our Lady (Cracow) and at the local ecclesiastical college. Entered the Polish reformed Conventuals (Reformaci) at Sandomir on 25 March, 1731. He felt unable to complete the noviciate there (leaving on June 17, 1732). Yet on 25 November of 1732, he embarked anew on the noviciate at the Wieliczka convent. This time with more success. He made his profession in 1733. Stanislaus studied philosophy at the Jaroslaw seminary between 1734 and 1737, and became a priest on 20 September 1738, shortly after he had started his study of  theology (first at Lwów (1737-1741, and thereafter at Kazimierz 1741-1742). After completing his education, Stanislaus taught philosophy at Przemysl (1742-1743) and Rzeszow (1743-1746). In 1746, he was transferred to the Russian custody, which around that time was being transformed into an independent province, in the process of which Stanislaus  fulfilled a number of administrative functions (definitor, 1749-1752; independent custodian,1755-1758; provincial, 1772-1775). Stanislaus also fulfilled charges for other provinces, notably as general visitator for the province of Great Britain (1752), and as visitator for the (Little) Polish province. During his teaching years, but also thereafter, Stanislaus wrote several works on history, philosophy and religious instruction. A number of these works found their way to the printing press.

Stephanus Baron (Stephen Baron/Étienne Baron, fl. early 16th cent.)

OMObs. French or English Franciscan friar and author, active in England. He may have been of French descent (as his collected Sermones declamati seem to indicate this in the preface). Educated at Cambridge. Confessor to King Henry VII from 1504 onwards, who named him in his will. Provincial minister of the Observant English between 28 April 1508 and Fall 1513. Baron also served as royal confessor under Henry VIII, and he wrote for the latter a short treatise on the tasks and obligations of a ruler, the Tractatulus de regimine seu caritate principum, which stands in the medieval mirror of princes tradition. The autograph parchment manuscript (British Library, Royal MS 12.A.xvi) has some nice penwork and ornamentation at the beginning. Sometime during his career, Stephen gave a series of fifteen rather traditional and scholastic but very well-received sermons at Cambridge on the last things, starting from the biblical theme of Deuteronomy 32: 28–9. Reworked versions of these sermonsworks were printed as Sermones declamati coram alma universitate Cantabrigiensi (London: London by Wynkyn de Worde, s.d.(1497)/Paris, 1510 etc.). After 1513, he disappears from view. And he died before or soon after 1520. He is mentioned in the works of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, as a man of ‘synguler wysdome, lernynge and vertue’ (The English Works, ed. J.E.B. Major, 1:271).

Stephanus Brulefer (Etienne Pillet/Etienne Brulefer, d. ca. 1497)

OMConv & OMObs. French (Breton) friar. Born in Saint-Malo in Brittany, Etienne Pillet entered the Franciscan order at the convent of Dinant and took the name Stephen Brulefer. Went through the provincial school network. In 1474, he is known to have sold a manuscript with quodlibeta of Scotus to the Collège d’Autun (cf. study of Rouse). Went through the theology degree program at Paris. Received his licence in theology on March 4, 1482 [Paris BN Lat. 9945 f. 228] and incepted on 15 October 1483 [Paris BN Lat. 5657a f. 26v; His inception was somewhat irregular, as the Franciscan regent gave Etienne his doctoral cap without permision from the chancellor. Etienne subsequently had to take the customary oaths in front of the university] During his graduate studies and teaching obligations as bachelor and doctor at Paris, Etienne became a renowned Scotist. Maybe influenced by the preaching and reform activities of Olivier Maillard [who preached in Paris around 1480 and was involved with the establishment of the Observant Ave Maria convent in the town], Brulefer joined the Observants and left Paris (maybe also as banishment for preaching against the king and against idolatry). As Observant, he traveled to the German provinces of the order,where he taught in the Franciscan convents of Mainz (1487) and Metz (ca. 1490) and preached both in the convent churches and outside (with archiepiscopal commission to preach at the local synod of Mainz in 1487). As lector of the Mainz convent, Brulefer transferred his scholarly attention from Scotus to Bonaventure [it was, in fact, shortly after Bonaventure was sanctified (1482)], and embarked on editing and annotating the latter’s Sentences commentary. He apparently finished one book while in Mainz. He probably worked on the remaining books during his lectorate period in Metz. Brulefer was active at the Observant provincial chapter at Nürnberg (May, 1488), where he led a disputation in which one of his former pupils, Paulus Scriptoris (who had become lector in Tübingen), took the role of respondens. In 1490, Brulefer moved to the Observant convent on the Île de Césambre, near Saint-Mâlo, where he stayed until 1495. In that year, he apparently returned to Dinant, the convent where he had taken his profession. In October 1495, Brulefer received an invitation from Robert Gaguin (at the request of cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros) to take a chair in Jiménez’ planned scotist academy [cf. the study of Thuasne mentioned below]. Apparently, Brulefer did not accept this invitation. Around this time, either at the end of 1495 or in 1496, Olivier Maillard sent Brulefer to the new convent of Saint-Brieuc, where he became guardian and propagated the Observant reform. He subsequently moved to Bernon (Morbihan) in Brittany, apparently for reasons of health. He probably died there in 1497. According to Wadding, Annales XV 231, his gravestone had the following epitaph:‘Divi professor Francisci Religionis/Sacrae scripturae Doctor et eximius/Non minor est Scoto cunctisque authoribus illis/Ingenuas artes qui cecinere prius/Hic fuit errores concremans Stephanus ille/Brulefer ingenio, quem locus iste tenet/Syderea loca possideat. Amen.’ Such was Brulefer’s fame as leading Scotist of the later fifteenth century, that he became the object of mockery by Rabelais [Pantagruel Book I,Chapter VII], Locher and Beatus Rhenanus [in a letter to Erasmus. See Allen, Ep. 575 (1517)]. For more information on his life, as well as on the Early Modern rumours that Brulefer had taught heretical doctrine, see esp. Murphy, A History, 172-191.

Stephanus de Gano (Stephanus de Guano; Étienne de Gan, d. 1453)

OM. French friar from Toulouse. Theologian and preacher. Regent lector at the Toulouse friary about 1409. Took part in the Council of Constance. (1414), preaching on a theme, taking from I Petr. 2:9).Went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem and returned via Rome, where he drew the attention of pope Martin V and where he preached before the pope and the papal curia. After his return to Toulouse by 1417, he became provincial vicar of the Aquitaine province in 1424. Got into trouble with the university of Toulouse and was temporarily excommunicated by this body in 1426. Subsequently, Etienne joined the ecclesiastical party of Jean Carrier, one of the last appointments of Benedict XIII, and therewith jumped on the bandwagon of those involved with the prolongation of the papal schism in the Rouergue area, amongst whom was also Count Jean IV of Armagnac, who took Etienne as his confessor. Etienne wrote a treatise in defense of the Count and the party of Jean Carrier, who both were under attack by pope Martin V. The content of Gano’s work is to an extent known through the detailed refutation of it by Bernard d’Yon, bishop of Bazas (the so-called Anti de Gano). Eventually reconciled with the ecclesiastical and university authorities, he took up his teaching again at Toulouse. He died after September 1453. Known for his De Laudibus Tolosae, a mythological history on the origins of the town, written at the request of the archbishop of Toulouse, Bernard de Rousergue.

Stephanus de Kempis (Stephan Kempe/Bruder Steffen, d. 1540)

OFM. German friar. Became Lutheran and was actively involved in the reform of Hamburg and Lüneburg. Studied at the University of Rostock when he joined the Franciscans (ca. 1520). After he was ordained, he was sent to Hamburg (1523), where he became an esteemed convent preacher at the Sta. Maria Magdalena convent. Became influenced by the reformation and began to preach Lutheran doctrines, therewith stimulating the acceptance of the new doctrines in town, and in 1527 decided to leave his convent. The same year, he obtained a position as Lutheran minister in one of the urban parishes of Hamburg. Married in 1530 with Anna Eyke, a former Cistercian nun. In that same year, he helped with the Lutheran reform at Lüneburg. However, he soon returned to Hamburg, where he spent the rest of his life as Lutheran pastor. Most of his writings stem from his Lutheran period. See on these esp. the study of Schröder et. al. mentioned below.

Stephanus Fridolin (ca. 1430-1498)

OMObs. Born ca. 1430 in Winnenden (Nordwürtt, Baden-Wurtemberg). Entered the Observant branch of the order in the Strasbourg or Upper Germany province. He probably followed a lectorate course (or the equivalent of such a course within the Observant branch). In August 1460, and between 1475-1477, he is attested as convent preacher in Bamberg. He acts as magister iuvenum and lector in Mainz in and after 1477 (that same year, he also attended provincial chapter at Ingolstadt as discretus and definitor). In 1479, Fridolin travels to Rome, to represent his province. On the way back, he is held hostage (for a short while) by Corsican pirates. In 1479/1480, Fridolin becomes novice master in Nürnberg, as well as convent lector (until 1484/5) and for a prolonged period preacher/spiritual guide/confessor at the Nürnberg convent of Poor Clares (until 1487). As in 1477, Fridolin repeatedly thereafter is chosen to act as definitor and discretus for the province of Upper Germany (1481: took part in the provincial chapter of Heidelberg; 1484: took part in the provincial chapter of Leonberg; 1487: took part in the provincial chapter of Oppenheim). Between Spring 1487 and Autumn 1489, he is preacher and spiritual guide for the Poor Clares of Basel (Gnadental convent), and between 1489-1498, he again is preacher for the Poor Clares of Nürnberg. Fridolin is known for his German sermons collections to Franciscan nuns (which partly survived thanks to Caritas Pirckheimer, sister of the famous humanist Willibald Pirckheimer), for his Andachtsbücher, which were composed for Franciscan nuns [namely Der geistliche Herbst and Der geistliche Mai, which show some affinities with several works of Johann Kreutzer OP (d. 1468), cf. Archives de l’Église d’Alsace 8 (1957), 21-62] and lay people [Der Schatzbehalter], for his numismatic interests [Buch von den kaiserangesichten: relates the history of Roman emperors whose portraits were found in a treasure of Roman coins that Fridolin presented to the city council of Nürnberg. The booklet shows some humanist interests (a.o. concerning the early history of Nürnberg, a topic of discussion between Stephanus Fridolin and the historian Sigismund Meisterlin), but also has a strong ‘Geschichtstheologische’ import],and for his translations of the sermons of Oliverius Maillard. Fridolin’s works had a long reception history. The main impact of his works can be found in the sixteenth century (in Contrareformation Germany), yet he remained a cherished devotional author until the early twentieth century. Stephanus was inspired by the Bonaventurean and Pseudo-Bonaventurean legacy. Ottokar Bonmann furthermore remarks (DSpir V, 1527): ‘Le franciscanisme de notre auteur apparaît surtout en ce que le Christ des évangiles forme le centre rayonnant de son oeuvre. Sa contemplation de la Passion, du mérite unique des souffrances de Jésus, si riche d’images pénétrantes, semêle à tout ce qu’il écrit, caractère sacrificiel de la messe, souffrances de Marie, tentations du chrétien, délaissements et progrès dans la vie mystique,etc. Éducateur spirtuel avant tout, Fridelini insiste sur la discipline personnelle et sur la culture des bonnes dispositions naturelles de l’homme: cela le prépare aux grâces mystiques, bien que celles-ci soient accordées librement par Dieu. Fridelini voit toute la création naturelle et surnaturelle contenue ensemble dans l’amour que manifeste le Coeur du Rédempteur du monde. La dévotion pratique au Coeur du Christ était très répandue et déjà développée au moyen âge. Chez notre franciscain, elle se constitue en doctrine et forme le fond de sa théologie.’

Sermones/Predigten über Prim, Terz, Non und Komplet [Sermons probably originally held between ca.1492 and 1494. They deal with the hymns and psalms of the small Sunday hours(Prime, Terts, Nones, Compline), according to the Roman breviary; always keeping the suffering of Christ and the cristological themes as basic interpretive matrix for the allegoresis of the liturgical texts. The sermons are clearly geared to the spiritual needs of female religious (even though the sermons could also be heared by lay people, who visited the churches of the female convent), who have to lead a life that would enable them to become true brides of Christ]: MSS Munich, Bayerisches Nationalmuseum 3801 ff. 1r-230v [start16th century, originated in convent of the Poor Clares of Nürnberg on the basisof a transcript by Caritas Pirckheimer]; Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz mgf 1040, I ff. 1r-222r & 2, ff. 1r-42v [anno 1501, originated in the convent of the Poor Clares in Söflingen, and partly written by sister Elisabeth Minsinger]; Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz mgq 1592 ff. 1r-166r [anno 1519: the Compline sermons.

Stephanus Fromont (Julien-Etienne Fromont/Etienne Fromont/Forment/Formon, fl. early 16th cent.)

OFM. French friar. Probably to be identified with Julien-Etienne Fromont from the Provins friary (Sens diocese), known for his philosophical and theological erudition and guardian of the Grand Couvent de Paris (1524), to die at Sézanne. He was with Pierre Cornu (de Cornibus) one of the major teachers of Luis de Carjaval, the devoted enemy of Erasmus., as can also be gleaned from the dedicatory letter in Luis de Carjaval’s Apologia monasticae religionis diluens nugas Erasmi (Salamanca, 1528). In 1524, he examinated together with Noël Beda and Jacques Pasquet on behalf of the Parisian theology faculty a book against Luther by Pierre Lizet, advocate of the French King.

Stephanus Hibernicus de Exonia (Stephen of Exeter, 1246-1275 or after?)

OM. Irish Friar Minor, who probably entered the religious life in 1263. Allegedly the author of the Annales domus Montis Fernandi ab anno XLV usque ad annum MCCLXXIV (Annals of Multifernan), covering the period from the year 45 to 1274? (Cotter: a contemporary record for 1261-74). The Annals are very archaïc. The basis is formed by a strict chronology with some additional information, frequently of a very local kind. Events from the wider world only enter the Annals sporadically. Stephen of Exeter might have been a member of the family of Richard of Exeter, justiciar of Ireland, who is mentioned repeatedly in the Annales.
The manuscript that includes the Annals is in itself known as The Book of Multyfarnham (Trinity College, 347, containing 407 small folios (octavo?? or quarto??). Aside from the chronicle it also contains works of Francis, sermons for the feast of St. Francis & St. Anthony, a Sunday sermon cycle (following in general the Scripture readings of the Franciscan Missal), and a prophecy of Joachim of Fiore. For the content of the sermons, see Colker, Catalogue, I, 710-738 (a typical manuscript of a small friary?). Bernadette Williams suggests on the basis of internal evidence that the Annals were written around 1272–4 and were possibly of Connacht origin. She also suggests that the Annals end in 1274 because the assumed author moved away: in 1274–5 a Franciscan friar, Stephen of Exeter, traveled to the English king on behalf of the justiciar of Ireland, Geoffrey de Geneville, to inform him about the state of Ireland.
