Abstract

St Bonaventure was born Giovanni Fidanza in Bagnoregio near Viterbo probably in 1217. He studied arts at Paris (c. 1236–42) before joining the Franciscan order there in 1243. He then studied theology under the regency of Alexander of Hales and, after the latter’s death in 1245, under lesser known Franciscan masters. He received the licence in theology in 1253 and taught until 1257, though because of the dispute between secular and mendicant masters he was not recognised as a master of the faculty until the autumn of 1257. Earlier in the same year he had become minister general of the Franciscan order and from this time he ceased to teach. However, in several series of university sermons he exercised an important influence at Paris in the period around 1270, when the first condemnation of the tenets of ‘radical Aristotelianism’, as current in the arts faculty, was issued. In 1273 he was appointed cardinal bishop of Albano. He died at Lyons, where he had been attending the general council, on 15 July 1274.
