Jacobus Capelli (Jacobus de Capellis/Mediolanensis/de Mediolano, mid-13th century?)

Franciscan theologian and inquisitor. Lector of theology of Milan and alledged composer of a Summa Contra Hereticos (between 1240-1260), against the Cathars of Lombardy, and 52 Conciones Quadragesimale. In the past, there was some doubt as to whether Jacobus Capelli (known for the Summa and the Sermones)and Jacob of Milan (the author of the Stimulus Amoris) were one and the same person [see on this also the works of Eisermann]. Now, they are seen to be two different persons.

Jacobus Dacianus (Jacobo Daciano, fl. mid 16^th cent.)

Spanish friar, active in Mexico and a supporter of indigenous rights. Author of the Declamación del pueblo bárbaro de los Indios que habiendo recibido el bautismo, desean recibir los demas sacramentos (ca. 1550-1553), in which the author argued against the exclusion of the indigenous people from the priesthood and the sacraments other than baptism, marriage and penitence, stating that a church that did not allow the baptized Indians from the NewWorld to participate fully in all the other sacraments was not a truly apostolic church. Daciano came under attack from his fellow friars, notably Juande Gaona.

Giacomo was one of the composers of the Conventual Responsio, directed against the Rotulus written by Ubertino of Casale. Was a member of the committee that prepared the statement condemning the works of Olivi and issuing rules concerning the Conventual approach towards Olivi’s writings and his cult (leading up to the exhumation and burning of Olivi’s bones in 1318).

Jacobus de Carceto (Jacobus de Quarcheto/de Kaisneto/Jacques de Quesnoy, fl. end 13thcent.)

French friar from Parvillers-Le Quesnoy (Northern France), where he joined the Friars Minor. Taught at Paris in the last decade of the thirteenth century, where he reached the magisterium theologiae, and acted as regent ca.1290-1292. He still figures as master of theology in June 1303, when he refused to support a summon of the French king Philippe le Bel to sign a document directed against pope Boniface VIII, as a result of which Quesnoy (together with John Duns Scotus and a range of other Parisian masters who also refused to sign) had to leave France within three days. Once upon a time it seemed that no writings of Quesnoy had survived, but it seems that the Sentences Commentary of Vital du Four (Rome BAV Lat. 1085) is a very close adaptation of that of Quesnoy, who was Vital du Four’s teacher at Paris. Doucet has provided arguments to assign to Quesnoy some quodlibetal questions. Yet these are sometimes also attributed to Raymond Rigaud and/or Jacob of Ascoli (MS Padua, Antonianum 426 & MS Todi, Biblioteca Comunale 98). In a forthcoming article, Sylvain Piron will argue that an anscription to Raymond Rigaud is the most plausible option.

According to Mariano da Firenze, Giacomo confronted the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola in Florence. Giacomo died in the convent of Feltre.

Jacobus de Marchia (Giacomo della Marca/Domenico Gangali, 1393, Monteprandone - 1476, Naples), Sanctified in 1726 (feast day 28 November)

OMObs. Born in Monteprandone (Ascoli Piceno).Entered the Observant branche of the Franciscan order c. 1415/16 near Assisi (at the convent of S. Maria degli Angeli) after studies of the liberal arts at Ascoli, and studies of canon and civil law at the university of Perugia. Took his profession under the name of Giacomo on August 1, 1416. Studied theology with John Capistran under Bernardine of Siena and was active as popular preacher in Toscane, Umbria and the Marsh of Ancona from ca. 1426 onwards (first sermon held in 1420 near Florence, on the feast day of Anthony of Padua), until 1467 [Cf. the autograph MS BAV Vat.Lat. 7780 f. 1v: ‘Ego frater Iacobus de Monteprandone ordinis minorum etate viginto duorum annorum in nomine Domini ingressus sum in [ordinem] sancti Francisci de mense julii 1416. Et incepi predicare in festo sancti Antonii de Padua in sancto Salvatore prope Florentiam 1420. Et dimisi predicationem in festo sancti Bernardini de mense madii 1467, manu propria; habens etatem septuaginta quinque annorum’ After May1467 Giacomo did no longer embark on large preaching trips, yet it would seem that he did continue to preach locally on sun- and feast days (in the S. Maria La Nuova at Naples. In the same manuscript BAV Vat.Lat 7780, Giacomo states (f.70v): ‘Tria sunt necessaria ad conmendationem veri predicatoris: primo, vita bona; 2, doctrina salutifera et assidua; 3, proles sancta et fecunda.’ In his sermon in honour of S. Bernardino, these qualifications of the preacher are elaborated further (ed. D. Pacetti, AFH 36 (1943), 84ff.: Tria debet habere predicator, videlicet: vitam bonam, doctrinam salutiferam, et perseverantiam. a) Primo, vita bona (…) In verbo(…) Secundo, exemplo (…) Tertio, opere (…) Ideo dicit Ecclesia: ‘iste est qui magnas virtutes operatus est, et omnis terra doctrina eius repleta est.’ b) Secundo, doctrina salutifera. S. Franciscus declarat hanc doctrinam salutiferam in capitulo nono Regule, dicens: ‘Moneo quoque et exortor eosdem fratres, ut in predicatione quam faciunt sint examinata et casta eorum eloquia, ad utilitatem et edificationem populi, annuntiando eis vitia et virtutes, penam et gloriam.’ Hic ponit S. Franciscus duo notabilia. Primum notabile, quod predicatores ante predicationem debent examinare eorum eloquia, quod sint casta sicut eloquia Dei; Psalmus [11,7]‘Salvum me fac: Eloquia Domini eloquia casta: argentum igne examinatum, purgatum septuplum.’ Id est septem examinationes quas debet habere predicator veritatis: Prima, quod non sit in eius verbis aliquod verbum contra fidem. Secundo, non scandalizosum contra proximum, verbis simulatis infamando aliquem,vel ex invidia vel odio unus predicator contra alium, quia tales depredicationibus Dei effecti sunt predicatores blasfemie. (…) Tertio, quod non predicet per avaritiam vel per salarium. S. Paulus nolebat quod fierent collectas in predicatione (…) Quarto, non predicet adulando, ut placeat populo. Unde Ysaie (…) Quinto, non predicent res inutiles sibi et populo. Unde Ysidorus(…). Sexto, non predicent subtilia, que non possunt capi a populo, sed ut se ostendat valentem hominem. Unde Ieronimus (…) Septimo, quod predicatio sua non sit contra seipsum cum mala vita. Unde Paulus ad Romanos 2 cap., 21-22, inquit: ‘Quid ergo alium doces, et te ipsum non doces? (…) Secundum notabile de S. Francisco. Quod sunt quatuor: Primum predicare contra vitia; secundum predicare virtutes; tertium penam; quartum gloriam vite eterne. c) Tertio, perseverantia. Numquam defecit expugnare divinas offensas; numquam defecit dirigere devios ad vitam eternam; numquam defecit defensare Ecclesiam Dei; numquam defecit manifestare gloriam Dei. Sicut Angelus in celo, et ille in terra: et ideo honoratus est coram Deo et hominibus (…)’)]. Active supporter of the Observantist cause, and generally regarded as one of the `pillars' of the Italian Observance. Known for his many preaching journeys, and his attempts to reform the morals of Italian city life. Founder of several lay confraternities and of institutions meant to subvert illegal money lending activities (so-called Montes Pietatis). Active as inquisitor (alongside of John of Capistran, against remnants of the fraticelli, in 1426, and independently in Hungary and Italy in 1436), crusade preacher against the Turcs, and commisioner of the order in Bosnia (1432), Hungary and Italy. He tried in vain to reconcile the conventuals and the observants on request of Calixtus III. In 1462 he became involved in a controvery around the veneration of the Blood of Christ with Jacob of Brescia OP. Eventually, Pope Pius II had to order both parties (both inquisitors) to keep silent on the subject. Giacomo was an avid book collector. His personal library counted no less than 185 manuscripts. See on this esp. the 1971 volume of Picenum Seraphicum, as well as the studies of Crivellucci (1889), Pagnani (1952), Boumann (1969), and Gattucci (1981). Giacomo died at Naples on 28 November 1476. Beatified in 1624 by Urban VIII and canonised in 1726 by Benedict XIII. Just like the other foremen of the Italian Observance, Giacomo left a large number of sermons, in which he developed his moral theology, expressed his themes of reform, and fulminated against the sins of his time (luxuria, vanitates mulierum, sodomia, ludi, usuria, etc.). On the basis of his own sermon manuscripts, written and compiled during his preaching career, Giacomo eventually distilled a more or less finalized series of Sermones Quadragesimales and Sermones Dominicales (Latin model sermons, following the main rules of the Artes Praedicandi, and no direct witnesses of his vernacular preachingstyle. For his preaching style, we might refer to the surviving reportationes of two sermons held at Padua in 1460). The Latin Sermones Dominicales have been edited by Lioi. The Sermones Quadragesimales still await their first critical edition. Alongside of his sermons, he engaged in the production of treatises (mostly reworked sermons) for the preparation of the sacrament of penance.

manuscripts

Many of his works are to be found in the MSS of the communal libraries of Monteprandone, Falconara, Modena, and Foligno, theVatican library, the S. Isidore library, the Bib. Naz. of Naples, the library of Venice, and the Oxford Bodleian library. An exhaustive listing of his works is made in Dionysius Lasic, De vita et operibus S. Iacobi de Marchia. Studium et Recensio Quorundam Textum (Falconara, 1974). On the basis of this list (and remarks by other scholars, we can mention the following genuine works (leaving aside Lasic’s list of dubious and spurious works):

Campus Florum (October 1450): Monteprandone 45. Cf. Lasic, De Vita et Operibus, 182 & R. Lioi, Picenum Seraphicum 7 (1970), 111-177. [A kind of confession manuel/‘dizionario giuridico-morale’, compiled with recourse to many canonist and theological authorities, with specific attention for themes (such as blasphemia, confessio, matrimonium, ornatus mulierum, usura, etc.) that are also dealt with in the sermon cycles of Giacomo.]

Compendium Theologiae Moralis (April 1442): MS Oxford Bodleian Library cod. Lat.Can. Misc. 262 ff. 1-222. Cf. Lasic, De Vita et Operibus, 183 & R. Lioi, Picenum Seraphicum 7 (1970), 111-177. [Very akin to the Campus Florum (possibly a first version of the Campus) and predominantly based on the works of Petrus Quesvel.]

Summula Iuridico-moralis : Cf. Lasic, De Vita et Operibus, 183 [Moral theological summa for confession and instruction purposes (meant for (incumbent) priests, with guidelines for consecration of the altar, the rites of baptism, rules for confession, papal dispensations, excommunication]

Sermones Quadragesimales : MS Foligno Biblioteca Comunale C.A.IX.i.ii (Cod. II, 103 sermons. Cf. R. Lioi, ‘I ‘Sermones Quadragesimales’ di S.

For purposes of basic religious instruction, we might single out several sermons, namely sermon 25 for Dominica Le: De Sacramento Confessionis [which contains ‘sex articulos utilissimos’ (quid est penitentia (interpreted as the sacrament of penance or confession, consisting of the contritio cordis, confessio oris et satisfactio operis), qualiter debet se preparare ad confessionem (ten ways to prepare oneself), utrum necesse sit confiteri circumstantias (reaching back to the popular ‘versus’: quis, que, ubi, per quos, quotiens, cur, quomodo, quando, quilibet observet anime medicamina dando), ut sit preceptum confiteri peccata (showing that that the confession of sins is a preceptum divinum et apostolicum), quot modis non est quis absolutus (19 cases in which absolution can not begranted), utrum sit absolutus de quibus sacerdos non habet auctoritatem (interesting point in the face of the conflicts between mendicants and secular priests, and implicitly walking a fine line between basing sacramental efficacy totally on the priest’s function and his personal merit (in)validating the sacrament.)]; sermon 49 for Dominica 5a pro Pasca: De septem petitionibus et oratione dominica [which deals with the fact that the Pater noster as oratio perfecta contains ‘tria meritoria’, namely the orationis breviatio, the benevolentie captatio, and a honesta conclusio petitionum. Giacomo makes clear from the outset that the concise nature of the Pater Noster agrees with the apostolic statement ‘verbum abreviatum fecit Deum super terram (which also, as we have seen, plays a role in the Franciscan attitude to/theory of preaching). In fact (II, 258): ‘Nulla quippe oratio tam brevis in tota divina Scriptura reperiri potest, nec tam sancta sicut sanctum Pater noster. Et hoc ex multis de causis. Primo, ut ab omnibus sciatur; secundo, ut melius memoretur; tertio, ut frequenter dicatur; quarto, ut orans tedio non afficiatur; quinto, ut nemo de eius ignorantia excusetur; sexto, ut Dominus cito exaudire ostendatur; septimo, ut magis corde quam ore legi debeatur.’ After the section in the benevolentie captatio, which deals with the approach of God in the statement Pater noster qui es in caelis, Giacomo analyses at large the meaning of the seven petitiones included in the Pater noster text (‘Tertia vero principalis continet septem petitiones, videlicet: prima, Patris honorificationem; secunda,sui glorificationem, ibi: adveniat; tertia, divine voluntatis, ibi: fiat voluntas tua; quarta, necessitatum corporalium subventionem, ibi: panem; quinta, peccatorum remissionem, ibi: dimictenobis; sexta, temptationis ansiationem, ibi: et ne nos;septima, a morte eterna liberationem, ibi: sed libera nos.’]; sermon 81 for Dominica 15: De doctrina puerorum [dealing in seven articles with: qualiter instruendi sint pueri circa fidem et sacramenta, qualiter instruendi sint circa sensus, qualiter instruendi sint circa potum et cibum, qualiter instruendi sint circa coniugia, qualiter instruendi sint circa ludum gestum et vestitum, qualiter instruendi sint circa societatem. The first article urges (III, 145): ‘Primo, erudire illos de articulis fidei, ut sint veri christiani et discernantur a paganis. (…) continetur quod patres spirituales et matres tenentur docere filios suos spirituales cognoscere Deum, servare castitatem, diligere iustitiam, tenere caritatem et Pater noster et articulos fidei eosdem perfecte docere.

Et in hoc multum videntur pater et mater cum maiorem curam habeant circa porcellum quam circa filios (…) Tertio debent docere eos super omnia Deum timere, Deum amare, Deum cognoscere et ipsum sequi (…)’ In this, as in the other articles, Giacomo unfolds a proverbial Observant Franciscan program of education, reminiscent of the larger contemporary Observant treatises that dealt with such issues.]

La confessione vera e propria è in questa Regola limitata ad un ‘dico mia colpa’ confinato nel verso dell’ultima carta dell’edizione.’

Jacobus de Milano/Jacobus Mediolanensis (late 13th-early 14th century)

Italian friar. Not sure whether the author should be identified with the Jacobus Mediolanensis who was lector at Milan in the late thirteenth century, as is claimed in De Conformitate (AF IV, 341). The most recent literature tend to negate this identification. Our Jacob is the author of the famous Stimulus Amoris (the oldest (shorter version) of which has survived in more than 90 mss, whereas a later (longer) redaction would have survived in more than 130 mss), centered on the love for and imitation of Christ, adoration of the Virgin, and the contemplation and union with God. The work, which stands in a Bonaventurean tradition, was predominantly meant for literate lay people and female religious, as a kind of spiritual vade mecum. The oldest (short) version contains 23 chapters. Chapters 1-3 describe the necessary predisposition of body and soul to enable meditative progress and to please God. Chapters 4-9 describe/analyse the ways leading to true contemplation (repentance, compassion with the suffering Christ, true desire to be with God etc.), and describe how the soul gets enflamed with the love of/for God. Chapters 10-15 number the necessities of the contemplative soul (esp. recourse to the Passion of Christ). Chapters 16-23 give additional details on the means to arrive at perfection.

The Stimulus Amoris used to be ascribed to Henri of Beaume (d. 1439) and Bonaventure, and can be found in the editions of the collected works of the latter. The work was lenghtened, reworked and translated several times, a.o. a glossed translation by Walter Hilton (d. 1395), entitled The Goad of Love (edited as The Goad of Love. An Unpublished Translation of the Stimulus Amoris (London, 1952). See on the many other vernacular translations in manuscripts and early printings Ruh, Geschichte der abendländischen Mystik, II, 442 & Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke IV, no. 4820-4832.

Historia y leyendas en torno a esta antifona (Rome, 1963), passim also attributes to Jacob a Meditatio in Salve Regina, usually ascribed to St. Bernard, but repeatedly found after the Stimulus Amoris in the manuscripts.

Jacobus de Molfetta (Giacomo Biancolini-Pancotto/Giacomo Paniscotti, 1489-1561)

OFMObs & OFMCap. Italian friar. Entered the Observant branch in 1509, to pass to the Capuchins of the Bari province in 1536. Famous for his lengthy preaching tours throughout the Italian peninsula, in which he came up sor social justice (strong critic of civic authorities that suppressed the poor; founder of montes pietatis) as well as doctrinal purity (‘hammer of the heretics’). Died at the Mesagna convent of Brindisi in 1561. During his lifetime, Giacomo published several works that, in the form of a dialogue, deal with major issues of moral and doctrinal theology, and apparently were first and foremost aimed at the conversion of Jews.

editions

Giacomo Biancolini-Pancotto, Opus in Expositione Psalmi ‘Domine quis habitat’ (Venice: aedibus Aurelii Pincii, 1535) [provides a clear introduction on catholic doctrine regarding the immaculate conception, (original) sin, the divine laws and their foundation for natural and human law, condemnation of usury, etc. Many issues are dealt with in the form of a dialogue between David and Salomon. Apparently, the New Testament, the church fathers, and other christian theologians are not mentioned by name. It has been suggested that the work therefore might have been first and foremost directed at Jews.]

Giacomo Biancolini-Pancotto, Opus de S. Fidei Articulis Dialogo (Venice: Aedibus Aurelii Pincii, 1535) [Dialogue between an apostle and a philosopher on the principal truths of religion and the errors of mankind. This work too seems to have been geared to the conversion of Jews. Special attention is given to the Christian mysteries (such as the eucharist etc.) and to the last judgment.]

Jacobus de Molfetta, I Divini Precetti dall’Angelo a Moisè Divinamente Dati e per il Verbo Incarnato Giesú Figliuolo di Dio apertissimamente dichiarati, e dalla Chiesa santa catholica approvati e confirmati, per il V.P. Frate Giacopo di Melfitto dell’ordine di Cappuccini di san Francesco (Venice, 1543/1548/1562/1570/1575). Parts connected with the first and the fifth commandments are printed in I Frati Cappuccini. Documenti e testimonianze del primo secolo III/2, ed. C.Cargnoni (Perugia, 1991), 3301-3333 [Amounts to a reworking of his first work, and explains that the evangelical law and the law of nature coincide. Hence the observance of natural law and the law of Moses consists in following the evangelical precepts, which therefore is a debitum for every Christian. Yet, the world still is full of sins, showing that many people do not adhere to these precepts. To mend this, the author presents in systhematic fashion the evangelical preceps taught by the son of God and approved and confirmed by the Catholic Church. In all, the work presents 40 precepts contained in the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Christ. Also makes clear that ‘Gli prelati, padri spirituali, padri e madre carnali, maestri, compari e comari sono obligati insegnare alli suoi figliuoli gli precetti della legge, gli articoli della fede e segnarsi del segno della croce e il Padre nostro’ (Cited from I Frati Cappuccini.

Jacobus de Valencia (Diego de Valencia/Diego Moxena, ca. 1350-after 1324)

Spanish friar. Important theologian and controversialist. Probably has to be identified with Diego Moxena. Originated from Valencia de Alcántara in the Cáceres province (and not from Valencia de Don Juan in the Léon province). Yet active at the convent of Léon as bachelor to teach the Sentences in and after 1375. This implies that he previously had gone through the lectorate program, which would put his date of birth around 1350 or shortly before). In 1378, he receives permission to pursue a theology degree at a studium generale. Not known when he reached the magisterium, yet he was one of the candidates for a theology chair at the University of Salamanca in 1410. If the identification with Diego Moxena is correct, he played a significant role during the later phases of the great schism and at the Council of Constance. In 1414, Diego Moxena abandoned the party of BenedictXIII (with whom he had close relations since 1405), to support the conciliarists. He also would have convinced king Ferdinand I of Aragon to do the same. At the council, Moxena raised charges of heresy against Hus concerning the latter’s position on the Trinity and the Incarnation. When Moxena eventually was disappointed with the choice of Martin V, he changed camps, running back to Benedict XIII.

Diego de Valencia/Diego Moxena has left a considerable and varied literary legacy. Under the name of Diego de Valencia, he is the author, and partly the destinator, of a range of poems that later were assembled in the Cancionero of Juan Alfonso de Baena, which is one of the most important Castilian poetic anthologies of the early fifteenth century. Juan Alfonso de Baena calls Diego a ‘muy grant letrado e grant maestro en todas les artes liberales’, and a ‘muy grant fisico, astrólogo e mecánico, tando e tan mucho que en su tiempo non se falló omne tan fundado en todas ciencias como él’ (Cancionero no. 473), as well as a ‘maestro muy famoso en la santa teologia’ (Cancionero no. 519). Under the name Diego Moxena, he has left a range of theological works, religious songs,as well as works that have a bearing on the conciliar movement during the council of Constance.

Jacobus Fuhrer (fl. first half 16><sup>th cent.)

OFM. Born in Zwickau, he studied for his order at the University of Wittenberg, where he was Baccalaureus Biblicus (29 August, 1518), Baccalaureus Sententiarum (early 1521) and Baccalaureus Formatus (by 22 November of that same year). In the mean time, he came under the influence of Lutheranism. Luther apparently mentioned him in a letter of 3 October 1519, calling him a modest man of a superior mind. To take him away from these Lutheran influences, his order superiors sent Jacob to the St. Jacobus Monastery in Breslau, and from there to Löwenberg. Yet Jacob Fuhrer continued to express his reformist ideas to fellow friars and lay people in his preaching. Eventually, the order asked him to retract his points of view, whereupon Jacob left the order. When the Franciscan friars were forced to leave the town of Löwenberg, the city council asked Jacob Fuhrer to stay on and to provide religious services and sermons in the former Franciscan church. He can be traced there until 1545. Works?

Jacobus Oddi de Perugia (Giacomo Oddi di Perugia, d. 1488)

OFMOBS. Born in Perugia, early 15th century.Influential merchant, until he entered the Franciscan OBS in 1448, after an Eastern sermon of friar Robert Caraccioli de Lecce (!). Several times guardian of the Sta Maria degli Angeli convent of Assisi (1453, 1458), the convent of Perugia (1460) and that of Terni (1474-1477, 1483). Died at the convent of Monterupido in Perugia on March 6, 1488. Produced in the Umbrian dialect a Specchio de l'ordine minore or La Franceschina (ca. 1474), which is a collection of saints’ lives and legendaries for edifying purposes (meant for his fellow friars of the Umbrian province). The work is heavily dependent upon the Chronica XXIV Generalium, Angelo Clareno’s Historia Septem Tribulationum, and (predominantly) De Conformitate of Bartholomew of Pisa. Giacomo presented the history of the Observant movement as the continuation of the spiritual quest to keep alive the primitive Franciscan ideals. After three prologues and a preface celebrating Francis’ providential vocation, his life, the evangelical character of his Rule, and the evangelical lifestyle of the primitive fraternity, the work tends to present in thirteen chapters or books (in accordance with the first group of Friars (Francis and his twelve compagnions) a full palet of various Franciscan figures and Franciscan virtues (chapters 1-11 deal with negation of the wordly ways, obedience, poverty, chastety, charity, the spirit of prayer, the spirit of humility, patience, penitence, the other virtues and the negation of the self Chapters 12-13 deal with the punishment of the wayward and the recompensation of the true followers of the Franciscan rule.) Very exemplary approach; heavy emphasis on importance of visions and apparitions. Several sixteenth century manuscripts contain series of meaningful illustrations (reproduced in the critical edition of Cavanna). Jérome Poulenc writes in his lemma on Giacomo in Dspir VIII, 51-52: ‘Vivant témoignage de la manière dont étaient proposées et comprises les valeurs du franciscanisme au niveau de l’existence quotidienne des couvents de l’Observance en Ombrie au cours des 15e et 16e siècles, La Franceschina apporte nombre d’élements pouvant servir à l’étude de la mentalité et des modes d’expression dans lesquels se moulait la spiritualité de ce groupe de religieux.

Jacobus Senensis (Jacobus de’Tolomei de Siena, 1323-1390)

Italian friar from Montalcino (near Siena), theologian, inquisitor, bischop of Narni (1378-1383), Chiusi (1383-1384) and Grosseta (from 1384 onwards). Entered the order in 1337, at the age of 14. Was ordained priest on 21 December 1342. Thereafter sent to Bologna (1345) and Paris (1346) for his lectorate course. Came back to Italy to teach theology at Padua, Florence, Siena, and Assisi. On 15 November 1366 he obtained the grade of master of theology. Afterwards, he fulfilled several administrative and inquisitorial positions at the provincial level: custodian of the Florentine custody in 1360, and of the Siena custody in 1362. Between 1364 and 1367 he was inquisitor for Tuscany, a function he fulfilled for the Siena area in 1371. Appointed bishop of Narni in 1378. As bishop under the obedience of pope UrbanVI, he had to struggle against the partisans of the Avignon papacy of Clemens VII. In order to curtail the activities of the remaining Michaelists (partisans of the former minisster general Michael of Cesena), he prompted Andrea Ricci de Firenze to compile a Tractatus contra Fraticellos. Jacob was transferred to the episcopal see of Chiusi in 1383, and to the see of Grosseta in 1384. Died in the latter diocese in Catiglione della Pascaia, sometime in June 1390. Most information on Jacob’s life and works is derived from a short, but interesting autobiography (BAV MS Arch. S. Pietro F 32 f. 351v), which also contains details on the Tuscan order province during the fourteenth century (until 1371).

Jacobus Tresanti (Jacobus de Trisanctis/Jacobus Petrisancti/Trisanto/Grisanto, c. 1265- after 1320 (1340?))

Italian friar, originating from a family of notaries in Tresanti (Montespertoli, near Florence). Entered the order at the convent of S. Francesco di Castelfiorentino (Florence custody). Active as lector in the St. Croce convent of Florence (at least in the years 1298-1301),where he produced for his students a compilatory commentary on the Sentences (lectura compilata super 4 libros Sententiarum).This work is an assemblation of positions of (predominantly Parisian) Franciscan doctors. He follows closely the systems of Bonaventure and Richard of Mediavila, the authors he used most. Only in book 4 does he cite Duns Scotus. Cenci (DHGE XXVI, 755) argues that Jacob was exposed to the teachings of these authorities during his own four-year lectorate studies at the Paris studium generale (probably in the late 1280s or the early 1290s).The work therefore might reflect both Jacob’s own lectorate studies and his subsequent teaching activities at the St. Croce convent. (See Cenci, 1993, 119-128 for further info on content and structure of the Lectura). He produced a series of Quadragesimal sermons (32 according to Bartholomew of Pisa, 42 according to Mariano of Florence, 12 according to others). A collection of these was kept at a Venetian seminary in 1878. Thereafter, this manuscript disappears from sight. Maybe some of his sermons survived in other manuscripts (see below). Cenci also ascribes to him a series of Sermones de Festis et de Sanctis found in MS Florence BN Conv. Soppr. G.1.861A (maybe gathered by Jacob at the end of his life, maybe copied and adapted by friar Paolo Boncagnida Peruga), which attest to his preaching activities between 1305 and 1313 in several towns of central Italy (Arezzo, Volterra, Assisi (?). [Cf. Cenci, 1993, 122: ‘Comme lettore-predicatore fr. Giacomo fu certamente in diversi conventi della provincia, qualche volta lascia intuire la città dove predica. Così a ff. 103r-105v per S. Giusto a Volterra (3 sermoni); a ff. 158v-160v per S. Donato ad Arezzo; dopo di che fu estratto un fascicolo, dove c’erano i sermoni per S.Chiara, l’Assunta e (se c’era) S. Lodovico d’Angio. Per ogni santo compose tre sermoni; tre per la traslazione di S. Francesco, 7 per la sua festa.’]. Jacob probably died shortly after 1320, and was buried in the convent church of the Poor Clares of Castelfiorentino, where he probably had been active as confessor during his last years (he appears as a witness in notarial acts at Castelfiorentino from August 1313 onwards, which indicates that he was a member of the Franciscan friary there).

Jacobus Wyg (fl. c.1500)

German friar from Colmar, Augsburg, or Zengg (Croatia). Nothing is known about his life. What we do know is that he produced a German printed edition of the Breviarium Romanum on request of the Croatian nobleman Christoph Frangepan, count of Zengg and Madrus, and his Augsburg wife Apollonia. On f. 629v of this German edition, we can read that the work was ‘gecorrigiert, quotiert, und in ein sollige ordnung gesetzt’ by ‘brueder Jacob Wyg barfueser ordens von Kolmar.’ (Yet Jacob can not be found in the Tabulae Capitulares, nor in the necrologies of the Strasburg Franciscan province). The German edition, which was printed in 400 copies, contains a full German translation of the complete Roman Breviary, with the exception of the office for Mary and the office for the dead [This in contrast with another, comparable, German translation of the Breviary, which also is of ‘Franciscan’ provenance, namely the Teutsch Roemisch Brevier vast Nutzlich und Trostlich (Augsburg: Alexander Weyssenhorn, 1535), produced for Poor Clares]. The work of Jacob predominantly means to provide people (and esp. women) who can not read Latin access to the standard breviary materials. Jacob apparently reached back to already existing German translations of the Psalter and the Hymns [cf. the remarks by Christine Stöllinger-Löser in VL 2^nded., X 1466].

Jacopone da Todi (Jacopone de Tuderto/Iacopo dei Benedetti, ca. 1228, Todi - 1306, Collazone) beatus

Italian friar. Born at Todi (Umbria), where he became active as a lawyer/notary. Allegedly because of the brutal death of his young wife, Jacopone radically changed his life; living for some time as a lay penitent before joining a Franciscan tertiary group. Eventually, in 1278, he entered the first order, where he might have become priest by 1287. Jacopone quickly became involved with the Spirituals and their cause for poverty and Church reform; he even signed a declaration which asked for the deposition of Boniface VIII and the convocation of a general council. As a result, he was excommunicated and confined to Palestrina. He was released by Benedict XI in 1303 to retire near the Poor Clares of S. Lorenzo at Collazzone (near Todi), where he probably died in December 1306. Jacopone is famous for his 92 to 102 vernacular Laude spirituali (dealing with all kinds of moral, spiritual and mystical issues, and matters pertaining to Franciscan poverty and discipline) as well as for his letters (such as the Latin letter to Giovanni della Verna, which includes one of his vernacular laude (lauda 63)), and several Latin prose works (such as the Tractatus, and Dicta (or Verba), the attribution of which still keeps some scholars in doubt, although they betray a strong affinity with the vernacular works and to some extent represent older versions of the vernacular texts. See on these issues especially the studies and editions of Menestò (1979)). Jacopone might also be the author of the Stabat Mater, even though some present-day scholars would like to attribute this sequens to an unknown contemporary Franciscan friar or to Bonaventure.

Tractatus utilissimus et sufficientissimus qualiter homo potest cito pervenire ad cognitionem veritatis , ed. E. Menesto, Le prose latine attribuite a Jacopone da Todi, Studi Medievali, 18 (Bologna, 1979), 75-86. The work received three printed editions in the sixteenth century (Venice, 1537; Venice, 1543 & Louvain, 1554) and a series of modern editions (prior to Menestò’s edition), albeit it was frequently attributed to other friars, such as Rizzerio da Muccia. The work later received an Italian adaptation (possibly by Feo Balcari). This vernacular version also received several editions, a.o. by E. Boehmer, in ‘Iacopone da Todi. Prosastücke von ihm, nebst Angaben über Manuscripte, Drucke und Uebersetzungen seiner Schriften’, Romanische Studien 1(1871), 123-162. Menestò makes a strong case for Jacopone’s authorship of the Latin Tractatus, pointing at the strong parallels with the Laude. The major theme of the Tractatus, which is heavily inspired by the Mystica Theologia of (Pseudo) Dionysius, puts full emphasis on love for God, and stresses the need for abandoning all attention and love for intermediate objects (ed. Menestò, 75ff): ‘Quicumque vult ad veritatis cognitionem brevi et recto tramite pervenire et pacem perfecte in anima possidere, oportet quod totaliter se expropriet ab amore omnis creature et etiam sui ipsius, ut totaliter se in Deum proiciat, non reservans sibi aliquid, nec etiam tempus, ut nihil per proprium sensum sibi provideat, quin semper sit dispositus et subiectus et paratus ducatui divino et vocationi ipsius.’ (…) ‘Sed postquam anima se totaliter expropriat ab omni amore creato et habet veram paupertatem spiritus cordaliter, quia non delectatur in aliqua creatura, tunc trahitur et impletur ab amore divino, in quem se totaliter proiecit. Et si postea redeant ad animam ista media que reliquerat, non possunt eam intrare, quia plena est domus et hospitium iam captum est ab ipso divino amore et ligati sunt omnes affectus.’ (…) ‘Igitur utillimum valde ac saluberrimum est ut omnia media eiciamus de anima et expropriemus nos et moriamur omnibus rebus creatis et totaliter desperemus de nobis, et de omnibus creaturis et proiciamus nos confidenter in Deum, qui benigne nos suscipiet, amorose gubernabit et perducet ad finem beatum.’

Verba Fratris Iacobi de Tuderto , ed. E. Menestò (Bologna, 1979), 173-183. The Latin text has received various other modern editions. See for instance Iacopone da Todi, Laudi, Trattato e Detti, ed. F. Ageno, 413-427 (replete with Italian translation). The latin text was in circulation shortly after the death of Jacopone. In 1385, Bartolomeo da Pisa incorporated them in his Liber de Conformitate (AF IV (1906), 236-299). Several versions of the Latin text, as well as some vernacular adaptations appeared thereafter (a.o. in the Franceschina, and in the works of Mariano da Firenze, Marco of Lisbon and Wadding). See for these texts in hagiographical accounts on Jacopone Le vite antiche di Iacopone da Todi, ed. Enrico Menestò (Florence, 1977). The original medieval vernacular version also has received several early modern and modern editions, a.o. by E. Boehmer (Iacopone da Todi, 1871) and Arrigo Levasti (Mistici del Duecento e del Trecento, 1935). In his Verba, Jacopone deals with the soul’s union with God. [The Verba or Dicta of Jacopone can be compared with many other Dicta and Detti of friar Leo, Egidio, Conrad of Offica, and others. See on this especially Clasen, Legenda Antiqua, xii-xxxii, as well as Stanislao da Campagnola, Francesco d’Assisi nei suoi scritti e nelle sue biografie dei secoli xiii-xiv (Assisi, 1977), passim. A good impression of Jacopone’s ‘negative’ approach to spiritual perfection is found in the Verba or Dicta II, III, IV, and V (ed. Menestò, 175ff): ‘(III) Sicut amor sui est causa et radix omnium vitiorum et malorum et enervatio omnium virtutum, sic et odium sui est origo et fundamentum omnium virtutum et deletio vitiorum. Unde deberet homo non tantum se odire, sed deberet velle ab omnibus odiri. (…) Et quia ex hac cognitione sui ducitur in cognitionem veritatis, incipit amare veritatem, non tantum in se, sed in omnibus. (…) Ex hoc etiam acquiritur despectus sui et omnis virtus et omne bonum: nam per hoc senties in anima radicari prudentiam, fortitudinem, temperantiam et iustitiam et ceteras virtutes et maxime triplicem patientiam. Unde per hoc venitur ad quietem anime.’; ‘(IV) Tres sunt anime status. In primo habet anima cognitionem suorum peccatorum et lacrimas compunctionis que ducunt eam prope desperationem. In secundo transit ad considerandam redemptionem Salvatoris, in quo habet lacrimas compassionis ad Christum. In tertio transit ad amorem, et iste status habet tres partes: in prima, scilicet in sui principio, incohat amare et habet lacrimas devotionis; in secunda parte id est in perseverantia huius status, augetur amor et habet lacrimas simplices, quia sunt sine violentia et nescit quare sibi obveniunt; in tertia parte, que dicitur status consummatus, stat anima in atriis Domini et gustat de vita eterna et perdit lacrimas.’; ‘(V) Anima habet quattuor pugnas, scilicat extra se, iuxta se, intra se et supra se. Primam, que est extra se, habet cum mundo. Hec vincitur non amando res mundi (…) Secundam pugnam, que est iuxta se, habet cum sensibus corporis (…) Tertiam pugnam, que est intra se, habet anima cum affectionibus sive passionibus suis, que sunt gaudium, spes, timor et dolor (…) Quartam pugnam, que est supra se, et est maior omnium predictarum, habet anima cum Deo hoc modo: quia assumit magnam et arduam sollicitudinem tenere se cum Deo. Et considerans se factam ad eius imaginem et similitudinem et quod Deus vult hospitari in ea, toto suo conamine cavet ne aliquid in se recipiat quod offendat oculos maiestatis divine, et etiam ne exeat ad aliquid quod displiceat Deo.’]

Joannes Aegidius de Zamora (Juan Gil de Zamora, ca. 1241/1250 - ca. 1318)

Spanish friar: encyclopaedist, historiographer, educator. Born at Zamora (c. 1241/1250), as a member of a naristocrat family. Might have engaged in (artes) studies at the University of Salamanca before he joined the Friars Minor. Might even have received some of the minor orders and lived in Madrid around 1266 before he took the Franciscan habit (cf. the edition of the Vita Sancti Isidori Agricolae). After joining the Friars Minor (c. 1269), he studied for some years theology at Paris (1273-1277: probably a full lectorate course and not a course leading to the magisterium, as is sometimes said in the available studies. Cf. Introduction of M. de Castro, De Praeconiis Hispaniae, LXII-LXVIII; the error is made possible by the exaggerated self-representation of Gil), where he worked under Raymond Gaufredi and also witnessed Bonaventure’s lectures on the Collationes in Hexaemeron. Taught in Toulouse and, after his return to Spain, in the Franciscan studium of Zamora. Kept up his contacts with Raymond Gaufredi (to whom Gil dedicated his Contra Venena) and with Roger Bacon. Became involved in educational and diplomatic activities at the court of Alfonso X ofCastilia. Was charged with the education of the ‘infante’ Sancho (the later Sancho IV/Sanchez IV), for whom he later wrote De Praeconiis Hispaniae (between 1278 and 1282). Throughout, Gil was very much part of the scientific culture of the Castilian court, with its historiographical, medical, linguistical and geographical interests.[same was true for his fellow franciscan Pedro Gallego]. Later in life, Gil was active as custos of the Zamora custody, and as provincial minister (c. 1300). He died after 1318. Gil was a prolific author in his own right. He wrote for instance: Liber illustrium personarum qui et historiae canonicae et civilis (videlicet patriarchum. prophetarum. apostolorum, et evangelistarum, martyrum et confessorum, virginum et viduarum et aliarum sanctarum personarum; Proslogion seu Tractatus de Accentu et de Dubitabilibus Bibliae (on the difficulties when reading the Bible, de Archivus seu Armarium Scripturarum; Historia naturalis, ecclesiastica et civilis (a full-blown encyclopaedia); the Liber de Jesu et Maria (MS, see Stegmüller); Officium Almifluae Virginis; De preconiis Hispanie (a historical and geographical manual-annex princes mirror for the education of Sancho); Contra Venena et Animalia Venenosa; poems, hagiograhical and biographical writings.

manuscripts

Several autograph manuscripts of Gil that were kept in the Zamora convent did not survive the reduction of the monasteries in 1835. Several copies made during the early eighteenth century by the Franciscan guardian Miguel Ordoñez (copies that themselves seem have disappeared as well) were used by Francisco Mendez and Enrique Florez for the compilation of their España Sagrada (MS Madrid Bib. Nac. 2763), which provides a listing of Gil’s oeuvre. On the basis of that list, and on the basis of other manuscript collections and bibliographical guides, the following provisional list can be made:

manuscripts

editions

One sermon has been edited by Lucidius Verschueren in Franziskanische Studien,15 (1928), 121-125, and another one by Landmann in Franziskanische Studien, 15 (1928), 320-322. The first of these sermons, found in MS Munich Staatsbibliothek. Codex Germ. 5140 ff. 317b-322b, can probably be traced to a female monastery, and the editor Verschueren thinks the sermon itself was originally held for regular Franciscan tertiaries. The sermon probably was held between 1487 and 1490. The following extracts (pp. 122-125 in Verschueren’s edition), give a good impresson of its contents: ‘Uff das Ewangelio von den zehen sünder siechen, als Lucas schribt am xvii [Lucas17, 11-19], wie die alle gesund wurden, und es kam nün ainer zü dem hern, was danckbar, und der her sprach: stand uff und gang hin. Da sind zway stuck, die ainen yeden menschen nottürfftig sind zü dem ewigen leben. Das erst, das ergang uff den berg der tugent ains gütten leben. (…) So das nit gnüg ist, volgt hernah: gang hin; verstand, zü übung gütter werck. (…) Und bey dem ersten ist zü mercken, das drii ding hindert den menschen am uff ston von den sünden. Das erst ist die angeborn naiglikait zü den sunden. (…) Das ander ist der begirlikait zü zeitlichen dingen. (…) Das dritt ist die rü der schowung und sines aigen gevallens. (…) Die erst hindrung ist von inen, die andern von ussern, die dritt von obnen. Bey dem andern so er spricht: Gang, da sind nun geng zü mercken als da schribt Jordanus, die der mensch sol gan, so der her spricht: Gang. Sü dem ersten spricht gott zü dem menschen: Gang usz mir durch die Schöpfung. Spricht augustin: Es sind alle creaturen gewesen in gott bildlich als ain huus (…) Züm andern spricht gott: gang von mir durch haltung der gebott und volbringung mins willens und wolgevallens in gütten wergken. (…) Züm dritten spricht gott: Gang von mir durch demiettigkait nach der achtung (…)Züm vierten spricht gott zü dem menschen: Gang in dich selbs durch bekantnisz diner gebrechen, kranckheit und arbaitsäligkait. (…) Züm funfften spricht gott: Gang usz dir selbs, usz dinem aignen willen und verstentnisz, also das der mensch im selbs absag und sin verlögne.

Joannes Angelus Terzonis de Legonissa (Giovanni-Angelo Terzoni/Giovanni-Angelo de Leonessa, fl. later fifteenth cent.)

Friar resident in the Leonessa convent (in the neighbourhood of Rieti). Known as the author of the Opus Davidicum, which tries to make a case for a biblical lineage of the French royal dynasty. As an answer to manifold attempts of seeking a Troyan ancestry for European royal families, the author tries to trace the French royal family back to the times of David, King of Israel. The work exploits Jewish messianistic expectations, and is linked to the Italian expedition of King Charles VIII (1496-1498), which the author saw as the beginning of a restoration of royal power in the Kingdom of Naples and the Holy Land.

Joannes Baptista Viñones (Juan Battista Viñones, c. 1480-1550)

OFMObs. Spanish friar. Born in Sevilla in a well-to-do family. Studied civil and canon law, becoming doctor utriusque iuris, and embarking on a lawyer career. After 1507, he took the habit as lay friar of the Guadalcanal convent (near Sevilla) in the Los Angeles custody (which was turned into a province in 1517). In 1510, his example was followed by his friend, the medical doctor Bernardino de Laredo. Not much is known of Viñones religious life. He seems to have belonged to a group of alumbrados.He died at the Guadalcanal convent in 1550. Interesting, however, is that Joannes Baptista is mentioned as the author or editor of the Espejo de conciencia para todos los estados. However, there are other candidates for the authorship of the text, such as friar Juan de Argumanes (from the Santiago de Compostella province) and the biblical scholar Gutierro de Trejo. The Espejo de conciencia is, in any case, the most influential book of moral practice in Spain during the sixteenth century.

editions

The first edition of the work appeared as the Espejo de conciencia que trata de todos los estados assí eclesiásticos como seglares para regir y examinar las conciencias (Salamanca, 1498 (2x)). This early date would suggest that at least this first edition was not written by Juan Battista Viñones. However, later editions, which bear the name of Viñones appeared under the title Espejo de la conciencia para todos los estados (Logroño, 1507/Sevilla, 1512/Toledo, 1513/Sevilla, 1514/Sevilla, 1516/Logroño, 1516/Badajoz, 1520/Segovia, 1525/Toledo, 1525/Sevilla, 1531/Sevilla, 1536/ Sevilla, 1543/Sevilla, 1548/Medina del Campo, 1552/s.l., 1568) [The Espejo,which bears some resemblance with the Speculum Aureum of Henry of Herp, consists of three main parts. The first part (116 chapters) deals with the obligations of rulers, bishops, priests, doctors etc, focusing on moral and religious issues, like: love of God and subjects, maintaining the Sunday as day of rest, moral and religious obligations with regard to social and commercial life etc.. The second part (37 chapters) deals with just and unjust forms of warfare, as well as with theft and restitution.The third part (24 chapters) deals with matters like confession, the qualities of the confessor, exemptions, and sins on various occasions. In an appendix,the work deals with matters like excommunication. Viñones’ major sources are Bonaventure and the Pseudo-Bonaventurean tradition, Alexander of Hales, Henry of Suso, Antonio de Firenze (and comparable authors). The vocabulary in the Espejo reflects some impact of the emerging alumbrados tradition. As such, the work might have influenced spiritual authors like Diego Murillo, Juan de Los Angeles, and Alonso de Madrid].

Joannes Bartholomaeus (Jean Barthelemy, fl. ca. 1460)

Franciscan friar; entered the order at Soissons ca. 1446. In 1450 he was active in the convent of Rouen, where he preached during Lent in the presence of Raoul Rousselli, archbishop of Rouen. The archbishop denounced Jean Barthelemy at the University of Paris in August1451, as the latter would have upheld in Rouen mendicant preaching and confession privileges (in accordance with the bull Omnis Utriusque Sexus), to the detriment of the authority of secular prelates. At that moment in time John was bachelor at the Paris studium. After John’s explications, the Gallican, Picardian and German nations rejected the allegations, so that John could after some delay proceed to his licentiate in theology (notwithstanding further attempts by the archbishop of Rouen to enlist the support of the papal legate Guillaume d’Estouteville for a further denunciation of the friar). John received his licence on May 22, 1452 and became master of theology on 16 October of the same year [Cf. CHUP IV, 708 no. 2680 & 709 no. 2682; Paris, BN Lat. 5657a f. 21v]. From 1452 onwards, Jean embarked on an impressive homiletic career, preaching a.o. in Nantes (1452, 1459), Nevers (1462), and Tours (1466) [Cf. the study of Martin]. Also active as spiritual counsellor of the Poor Clares of Longchamps. After his death at Paris, the provinces of Burgundy as well as the Grand Couvent de Paris laid claim to Jean’s books. The parlement of Paris passed the verdict that the books should be divided between the two [cf. the study of Beaumont-Maillet]. Most of Jean’s surviving spiritual works were written after his higher theological studies, and predominantly when he became involved with the spiritual guidance of the Poor Clares of Longchamps. His surviving spiritrual works testify to his activities as confessor and spiritual counsellor of the Poor Clares, providing them with a host of devotional themes (on the Passion, the Sacred Heart, the Sacrements), spiritual exercises, prayer explications and the like (firmly grounded in the affective theological tradition of Bernard of Clairvaux and Bonaventure).

Joannes Bilhemius (Jan Bijl van Leuven/Byl/Bijlkens, d. 2 November 1540)

OMObs. Born in Louvain. Joined the Observant friars and served as guardian in various convents (such as Mechelen and Amsterdam). In 1529, he was elected as the first provincial minister of the Lower Germany province. During his guardianship in Amsterdam, Bijl communicated some doubts about the propriety of the Moria to Erasmus, but in such a gentle manner that Erasmus did answer him in a friendly fashion (Allen, Ep. 749, 1518). According to a letter from Maarten van Dorp to Erasmus (Allen, Ep. 1044, November 1519), the same Bijl was known for his learning and his admiration for Erasmus. Bijl wrote several works, which remained unpublished, and apparently are lost.

 Johannes Bloemendal de Colonia (Joannes Blontiades/de Colonia, fl. ca. 1330)

Active in the Cologne region in the early fourteenth century as lector and preacher. Must have had a profound theological education. Not known whether he reached the magisterium. Compiled, in the wake of his activities as lector in Cologne (and the Curia studium of Avignon during the pontificate of John XXII?) a range of sermons and biblical commentaries, and possibly also an Opusculum Correctionis Textus et Prologorum Biblie, a Tractatus de Posituris, short treatises on the theological significance of Christ’s Passion, commentaries on Biblical hymns and songs, the Credo, and the Pater Noster. Several of the latter works are also ascribed to a contemporary Joannes Coloniensis. Maybe he and Joannes Bloemendal are one and the same friar. He should not be identified with the fifteenth-century friar John of Cologne, known for his Quaestiones Magistrales on Scotus.

Johannes Bourcelli (Jan van Beersele/Jan van Nijmegen, fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth cent.?)

OFMObs. There is confusion about the identity of the Dutch friar to whom is ascribed a Directorium Brevissimum/Contemplativorum. The work itself is almost identical with the first Collation of Henry of Herp’s Theologia Mystica, and had a substantial impact on its own (cf. a.o. the spiritual works of Benedict of Canfield OFMCap (d.1610) and Fulgentius Bottens OFM (d. 1717)). Candidates for this reworking/abbreviation of Henry’s work are 1.) Jan van Nijmegen (guardian (1515) and procurator (1520) of the Cleve convent; figures in the necrology of the Cologne province. Cf. Rhenania franciscana. Unsere Toten II (Düsseldorf, 1941), 84); 2.) Jan van Beersele (guardian of the Brussels convent (1482); cf. Brussels, Archives Sainte-Gudule MS Reg. 1395 f. 386); 3.) Jan van Beersele/Jean Bourcelli, auxiliary bishop of Liege (Luik, d. 1504). M. Viller (1922) suggests that Henry of Herp, as vicar of the Cologne Observant province (1470-1473), was the superior, as well as the spiritual guide of our compiler.

Several sixteenth-century editions and translations of the Directorium do exist.

Joannes Bremer (fifteenth century)

OFMConv. German friar and theologian. Studied in Oxford. Lector secundarius in the Franciscan convent of Leipzig in 1420. The same year, he immatriculated at Leipzig university. In 1427, he immatriculated at Erfurt university, where he became doctor in theology in 1429, and taught there at a later stage as Sacrae Scripturae professor Ordinarius Fratrum Minorum Studii Erfordensis (connections with Doering) [also obligation to preach, according to the statutes of the theological faculty of Erfurt, see: Meier, in: Antonianum, 11, p.444]. In 1434, he became alligned with Rostock university, but he returned to Erfurt shortly thereafter. In 1439, he became guardian of the Brunswick friary, to return again to Erfurt, to become regent master of the Franciscan studium there in 1442. In 1444, he taught at Goslar and in 1445, he taught at Brunswick.

Aside from his (as yet unedited) Sentences commentary, which was produced before 1429 (especially inspired by the works of Bonaventure, Scotus and Francis of Meyronnes, yet more didactically and ecclesiologically oriented), he is known to have left at least four sermons (In Die Coenae (Leipzig, 1420), D eConceptione Mariae (Erfurt, 1424), De Duobus Testamentis & de Ave Maria (Halberstadt, 1444)), a small treatise De Officio Praedicationis, a Collatio Disputata circa Ecclesiam et Sacramenta (Liegnitz, August, 1442), a disputed question on the last ointment, two treatises on the blood of Christ, as well as a Quaestio magistralis de Sanguine Christi (Brunswick, 1455). The last three works are connected with the controversy around the ‘Wilsnacker Wunderblut’ [bleeding hosts]

Joannes Brixerius (Jean Brissy/Johannes Brixeus/Joannes de Brixia, d. 1445)

Lectured on the Sentences at Metz and Toul. Guardian and corrector of the Parisian convent. Received the licence of theology at Paris in 1395 [MS Paris BN Lat 5657-A, f. 11v; CHUP IV, 11]. In 1398, he voted for substraction of the French church from the obedience of pope Benedict XIII. Would have written a treatise in favour of the Observance and would have been involved with the decree concerning the Observance issued at the Council of Constance [cf. Wadding, Annales Minorum X, 249]. In 1423, he became confessor of the queen of France, Marie d’Anjou. Around the same time, he became provincial minister of the French province. He died at the Grand Couvent de Paris on 18 February 1445 and was buried in the convent’s chapter room.

Johannes Brugman (ca. 1400, Kempen-1473, Nijmegen)

OFMConv & OMObs. Friar from the Kempen region (Brabant, Low Countries). Popular preacher and reformer. Acquaintance of Dionysius the Carthusian. Johannes Brugman entered the Conventual Franciscans in the Den Bosch friary (provincia coloniensis). He studied at the studium generale of Paris (lectorate program). Thereafter active against the Observants, until a change of heart in 1445. Transferred to the Observants and went in 1447 to Mechelen (Malines), with the Cologne provincial minister to introduce the Observance. This was accomplished with substantial force, leading to protracted conflicts. Around this time, Brugman probably wrote his Speculum Imperfectionis. Between 1448 and 1450, Brugman was guardian at the Mechelen friary. Around this time, he also started to preach. During his first series of preaching trips (situated by Van den Hombergh between 1451 and 1456), Brugman visited the North-Eastern parts of the Low Countries and the adjacent parts of Lower Germany. In this period, he would have interiorized some elements of Modern Devotion teachings. In 1454, Brugman became guardian in the friary of Sluis, the most northern friary in the Franciscan provincia Franciae. Between June 1455 and Spring 1456 he traveled again. The next two years, betwween 1456 and 1458 he lectured theology at St. Omer (an important Observant studium). This was followed by a second period of travels as penitentiary preacher in the Rhine region, Holland and in Westphalia. In this period, he established his name as a popular preacher. In July/August 1462, while still active as a travelling preacher, he was made provincial vicar of the Observant Cologne province. In this position, he continued to stimulate the expansion of the Observance (establishing new Observant houses with local support of secular authorities proved to be a more successful procedure than trying to reform existing Franciscan Conventual houses). Due to exhaustion and possibly due to a stroke, he had to give up his vicatiate position (May 1464). He recovered enough to preach again: in these years he is known to have preached in a number of female religious houses. In 1467, he retired to the Observant friary of Nijmegen, where he died in June 1473. His literary production is big, containing (non-academic) theological works that bear connections with the Modern Devotion and the Observant reform, sermons, spiritual treatises, and popular categetical works.

editions

Sermones/Sermoenen. A range of Brugman’s (Dutch) sermons have been edited, especially those dating from the mid 1460s, most of which are carefully revised sermons meant for publication.They normally address female religious and show Brugman’s predilection for some 12th and 13th century theologians (notably Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, David of Augsburg, Ubertino of Casale) and for Ludolph of Saxony. See especially: Jan Brugman, Verspreide Sermoenen, ed. A. van Dijk, Klassieke Galerij, 41(Amsterdam-Antwerpen, 1948); Onuitgegeven sermoenen van Jan Brugman, O.F.M., ed. P. Grootens, Studien en Tekstuitgaven van Ons Geestelijk Erf, 8 (Tielt, 1948); Een onuitgegeven sermoen [+Littera ad Fratres Buscodenses], ed. A.W. Wijbrands, Archief Ned. Kerkgeschiedenis, 1(1885), 208-228; G. Feugen, ‘Een tot nu toe onbekend sermoen van Johannes Brugman’, Archief voor de Geschiedenis van het Aartsbisdom Utrecht 64 (1940), 322ff. [Jhesus clam in een scheppen ende voer over tmeer ende kwam in sine stat. Jhesus hadde vier steden (MS. Cologne, Stadtarchiv G.B. 8º 71)]. For the relationship between the sermons as found in the manucripts and in the editions, see the study of Mertens (2007).

Vita Alme Virginis Liidwine, ed. A. de Meijer (Groningen, 1963) [Saints’ life of Lidwina of Schiedam, partly based on the notes of Jan Wouters, Lidwina’s confessor. For a second version of the work, Brugman used the work of Jan Gerlach. The edition of Meijer is based on this longer version of 1456. The Vita Alme Virginis Liidwine is modelled on David of Augsburg's Profectus Religiosorum (with the three grades of perfection), and at times follows almost literaly Bonaventure’s Legenda Major. The emphasis is on the saint’s total subjugation to the Divine will. For older editions of versions one (a.o. Cologne, 1483/Louvain, 1485) and two (a.o.Delft, 1487 and 1490), see De Troeyer, I, 75. Cf. also BHL n. 4933-4926, and AASS Aprilis II, 270ff (the Vita Prior mentioned there is the second version of the Vita). A third redaction (Vita Posterior) was published at Schiedam (1498; See also AASS Aprilis II, 302ff.). A French translation of Brugman’s Vita Alme Virginis Liidwine appeared in Douai/Doornik, 1601]

[The work emphasises that genuine prayer is the single most important element of true religious life, and not the study of theological problems. It deals with the causes of religious decadence from this perspective and subsequently puts the duties of Franciscan guardians, teachers and novice masters in the same light.]

Aside from some more theological issues, the work develops devotional themes in line with the main-stream Franciscan traditions as put forward in Bonaventure’s De Triplici Via, the works of David of Augsburg, and Ubertino da Casale’s Arbor Vitae. Also clear that Brugman is relying on insights from Bernard of Clairvaux, Hugh of St.Cher, Suso and on exemplary elements derived from the works of Jacob of Voragine.]

Joannes Brytt (John Brytt/Bryll/Bruyl, d. after 1420)

English friar. Active in the Newcastle convent. Papal chaplain in 1396 and guardian of the London convent in 1397. He was and promoted to the Irish episcopal see of Enachdun (Annaghdown) by pope Boniface IX in 1402, at a moment when he was suffragan bishop of Winchester. Not known whether he actually made it to his diocese, which had become vacant after the death of the Franciscan bishop Henry Trillowe. In December 1408, John’s successor was appointed (John Wyn). Yet John is found as suffragan bishop at York between 1417 and 1420. Scholars assume that he should be identified with John Bruyl, who at one point in time was in the possession of a set of Aristotelian works, now found at Oxford (MS Oxford, Bodleian, Digby153), and wrote notes and comments in the margin.

A Italian reworking appeared as the Historia chronologica della provincia de Siria e Terra santa di Gerusalemme, dove nostro Salvatore operó le maraviglie della redenzione, trans. Angelico da Milano (Venice, 1694). Juan apparently was working on a sequel top his Chronica. Yet that did not see the printing press.

Joannes Capet (Jean Capet, fl. c. 1500)

OFMObs. Studied at the College of Navarra (Paris), and at Boulogne-la-Grasse. Became doctor in law and theology. After his entrance in the order, he became chaplain of cardinal Raymond Perault (d. 1505). Due to Jean’s influence, cardinal Perault sent several relics to the Franciscans of Koblenz, to the Poor Clares of Beauvais, and to Jeanne de Valois (foundress of the Annonciade). Apparently, Jean produced for cardinal Perault a short Traité de patience (mentioned in a letter by Perault to Jeanne de Valois, written in Basel, 30 June, 1504.). This work seems to be lost. In addition, Jean produced a Voie briesve de paradis (1498), and a series of sermons.

notitie

Other Irish Chronicles/Chroniclers: Annales de Monte Fernandi (Annales of Multyfarnham) compiled by Stephen o fExonia (See there); the Kilkenny Chronicle (three sections compiled in different periods. 1. Section for the years 1264-1322 (compiled by the friars of Castedermot (Tristledermot); 2. Section for the years 1202-1264, using the Annales Monte Fernandi (compiled in an unedited ms in the friary in Lenister); 3. Section for the years 1316-1332, almost identical with the annals of Clyn (this section compiled after 1330 in Kilkenny). The Kilkenny chronicle edited from British Libr. Cotton Vespasin B XI..; The Annals of Ross, existing only in a 17th century transcript (Trinity College Dublin 547 ff. 410-12, edited with the Annals of Clyn; the Annals of Nenagh, written at the friary of Nenagh after the middle of the fourteenth century, edited from a 17th century transcript of the lost original manuscript (British Libr. Landsdowne 418, ff. 40-42) This chronicle allegedly was produced by Galfridus O'Hogan (see there); the Annales of Inisfallen (written ca. 1360), parts of which are regarded as Franciscan (ed.: R.I.

OFMConv. German friar from the Rhine area; Scotist theologian. Known for his Quaestiones Magistrales, an alphabetically organised compendium of 430 abbreviated questions derived from the works of Scotus.

The 1476/1477 edition of the Quaestiones Magistrales inform us that Joannes de Colonia was sacrarum litterarum professor. Yet nothing is known about his possible teachings at the Franciscan Cologne studium, at Cologne University, or elsewhere (see for another opinion on this matter the work of Schlageter)
