Bernardino of Fossa

Bernardino belonged to the Amici family, and sometimes bears the name of Aquilanus on account of his long residence and death in the town of Aquila.

He received his early training at Aquila and thence went to Perugia to study canon and civil law.

Bernardine was provincial of the province of St. Bernardine and of the province of Dalmatia and Bosnia, and would have been chosen Bishop of Aquila had not his humility forbidden him to accept this dignity.

His cult was approved by Pope Leo XII on 26 March 1828.

This chronicle was first edited by Leonard Lemmens from the autograph manuscript, and is prefaced by a life of Bernardino and a critical estimate of his writings.
