OFM. German friar. Entered the FranciscanRecollects in the Sank Elisabet province of Thüringen. He finished histheological education by 1716. Eight years later, in 1724, he departed forPalestine. Following a short sojourn on Cyprus, he arrived in Jerusalem byOctober of that year. Between May and August 1725, he was the guardian of theHoly Sepulcre monastery. Then, in January 1726, he became the organist of theAin Karem community. In 1727, he returned to Jerusalem, where he stayed formore or less a decade, aside from a short stay at Belen in 1731-1732. Afteranother stint at Ain Karem, Eleazea returned for a while to Germany, but he wasback in Palestine a few years later. In 1743, he could be found in Gallilea andespeciall at Nazareth, where he measured and drew medieval monuments. In 1744,while at St. John of Acre, he had a stroke and died on 28 November. Known forhis Ichnographiae, locorum et monumentorum veterum Terrae Sanctae, which depicts many old monuments and which itselfwas partly based on and inspired by the two-volume Historica, theologica etmoralis Terrae Sanctae Elucidatio, compied by his fellow Franciscan FranciscusQuaresimi. (Antwerp, 1634-1639). Counter to Quaresimi’s work, Eleazar’s Ichnographiae remained unpublished until the 1902 edition made byGolubovich.

ElemosinaGualdensis (Johannes Elemosina, ca. 1280 - 1339)
Italiaanse minderbroeder uit Umbrië,verbonden aan het convent van Gualdo (ca. 1330) en Assisi. Mogelijkerwijs heefthij ook vertoefd in het Heilige Land. Hij is de auteur van een bijzondereregionale (op Umbrië gerichte) wereldkroniek. Deze vangt aan bij de scheppingmaar wordt pas gedetailleerd als de romeinse tijd ter sprake komt. De auteurmaakt gebruik van een groot aantal bronnen (kronieken, reisverhalen,theologische werken), waaronder ook minder gangbare (zoals de verslagen vanMarco Polo, Ordericus de Pordenone, Joannes de Montecorvino en Andreas daPerugia). De kroniek is georganiseerd rondom een groot aantal historische'sleutelfiguren': belangrijke personnages die het verhaal dragen. Dezelfdegebeurtenissen worden vanuit verschillende invalshoeken belicht. Er worden ergweinig jaartallen genoemd en er wordt herhaaldelijk vooruit- en teruggeblikt.De bijzondere werkwijze van Elemosina komt in grote lijnen overeen met deandere franciskaanse kroniekschrijver uit Umbrië: `Paulus' van Gualdo'. Hetwerk van `Paulus' - Vauchez stelt voor om de naam te laten voor wat hij is enhem in het vervolg maar Anonymus umberte noemen (Vauchez, `Fratri Minori, eremitismo e santità laica, 274-5)- is voorElemosina klaarblijkelijk ook een grote inspiratiebron geweest. Elemosina'skroniek toont evenwel een grotere eruditie, een betere taalvaardigheid enbestrijkt een groter geografisch gebied (o.a. verslagen van Palestina). Het isdaarom ook minder een echte regionale kroniek van Umbrië en Gualdo. De kroniekvan Elemosina is bewaard gebleven in twee autografen (Daarnaast zijn er tweehandschriften van een curieuze zestiende-eeuwse vervalsing onder de naam vanJoannes de Capistrano (ms Rome, Bibl. Vat. Fonds Chigi I, VII, 262; ms Rome,Bibl. Corsini, 776 (39 G2)). Er zijn geen volledige edities voorhanden, weluitvoerige besprekingen door Ruggero Guerrieri, François Fossier en I. Heullant-Donat.Daarin staat met name de relatie tussen de kronieken van Elemosina en Paulus enhun brongebruik centraal.

Elias deBourdeille (ca. 1410-1484, Artannes, near Tours)
Born at Agonac, as the fifth son of the royalSeneschal of Périgord, Arnaud de Bourdeille, he entered the Franciscan order atPérigueux and studied theology, first at the studium of Périgueux, and subsequently at Toulouse. Becamedoctor in theology at Toulouse University. Taught Sacred Scripture at theFranciscan convent of Mirepoix. He became bishop of Périgueux in 1437, more orless against his will, but at the outright request of Eugenius IV (whotherewith confirmed the whishes of the Périgueux canons). Active at the councilof Basel. Archbishop of Tours since 1468. Because of his blameles conduct, hecounted as a model prelate, who succeeded to keep on good friends with royaland papal authorities even when the pragmatic sanction of Bourges caused greatconflicts between the crown and the papacy. Elias defended papal andanticonciliar positions, which shows in his work, but was also active in therehabilitation process of Jeanne d'Arc, which helped to deserve the esteem ofking Charles VII and Louis XII of France. The latter made him into his confessorand chaplain, a position which he kept even when the conflict around thesanction of Bourges was renewed. Shortly after his death, Elias was alreadyregarded a saint and he received a life by a secretary and confessor Peter ofBois-Morrin (1485/1490). Yet he was never canonized, not withstanding seriousefforts to this effect in the sixteenth century.

Elias de Cortona(ca. 1180 - 1253, Cortona)
Disciple of Francis and second ministergeneral of the order. Was a missionary and later provincial minister in the newprovince of Syria. Accompagnied Francis back to Italy and became his vicarius.Was important for the organization of the order, in close cooperation withcardinal Hugolino (for instance in the proces leading to the Regula Bullata). Played an important role in the creation of amessianistic image of Francis (letters, creation of the basilica in Assisi). Asa minister general he became a controversial figure. Though he was not withouteducation himself, and promoted the education of Franciscan friars, herepresented the lay element in the order. This, as well as his behaviour asminister general (arrogance, transgressions of the rule (poverty), at least if we can b elieve the biassed sources fromlater date), created much antagonist feelings, especially among the clerical friars. Became activein the peace talks between Frederick II and Gregory IX, but was soon accused ofsympathizing with the emperor. He was deposed in 1239, and, after his flight toFrederick's court, excommunicated. He reconciled himself with Church and ordershortly before his death.

French friar. Probably born in Nabinaud(Périgueux diocese). Entered the Franciscan order in the Aquitaine province.Studied theology within the provincial school network, and became provincialminister of Aquitaine (1325-1328. Cf. also BF V, n. 596, in which pope John XXII thanks him forprayers on his behalve on th 1325 provincial chapter). After 1328, he embarkedon his theology degree studies at Paris. He was Baccalaureus Sententiarum when pope John XXII asked his help (6 February 1329,cf. BF V, n. 765) to confineFrancis of Ascoli (Francis de Marchia, who was sympathising with Michael ofCesena and Louis of Bavari). On 1 May, 1331, the pope intervened to grant Eliasthe magisterium (BF V, n. 908),and on 16 November 1332, pope John XXII appointed him to the archepiscopal seeof Nicosia, Cyprus (cf. BF V, n.999). On Cyprus, Elias proved to be an (over?)active prelate, re-inforcingepiscopal statutes, and fighting schismatic elements. On 12 July 1342, popeClement VI bestowed on him patriarchal see of Jerusalem, a position hefulfilled alongside of his epicopal duties in Nicosia (BF VI, n. 141), and on 20 September 1342, pope ClementVI made him titular cardinal of Saint-Vital. In that quality, he attended theFranciscan general chapter of Marseille (June 1343). He also went to Avignon,to assist in the reconciliation of Francis of Ascoli (1 December 1343. Cf. BF VI, 150). He apparently also played a role in thecontroversy concerning the Beatific Vision. He died at Avignon on 13 January1348. Aside from a Sentences commentary, Elias wrote several works of moraltheology (such as a treatise De Vita Contemplativa), and a commentary on the Apocalypse. Unclear as towhether these works have survived.

EustochiaCalafato (Smeralda Calafato Colonna, 1434-1486) beata
Poor Clare from Messina. Entered the PoorClares at Santa Maria de Basicò (Messina) against the will of her family,taking the name Eustochia. As she was dissatisfied with the relaxed lifestyleof her monastery, she obtained papal permission by pope Calixtus III toestablish a new monastery where nuns could live according to the first rule (PrivilegiumPaupertatis) of Claire [BF II, n. 388 & 439]. After living some years in theold hospital of Santa Maria Accomandata (1460-1463), she eventually (1463) wasable to transfer her community to Santa Maria di Montevergine. There sheestablished a reputation of holyness as sister and abbess, renowned for herspiritual exhortations concerning the suffering Christ and her enthousiasm forthe cult of Saint Francis, Saint Paul, Saint Jerome, and Saint Andreas. Shedied on 20 January 1486. Her grave became a cult site. An official inquiry wasstarted in 1640, ending with her official beatification and a confirmation ofher cult by Pius VI (1782). Her feast is celebrated in the order on the 27th orthe 28th of February. She left behind some writings, predominantly prayers andfragments of religious conversations, a spiritual Libretto (which would includea Libro de la Passione) and a Montede la orazione. Several fragments ofthese texts are collected in the Legendacompiled by her fellow sisters between 1487 and 1490 (see editions below)
