Émeric de Quart (adapted in Italian as ''Emerico di Quart''), born in the latter part of the 13th century at the castle of Quart in the Aosta Valley, was Bishop of Aosta from 1302 until his death on 1 September 1313. He is more frequently named in ancient documents as ''Eymericus'' than ''Emericus'' or even ''Aimericus''. ==Life== Born in one of the most powerful families of Aosta Valley, the Lords of Quart, Émeric, after having made theological studies, chose to live apart from his noble family in a contemplative and ascetic way. After some years, however, he decided to reach the regular canonics of the Cathedral in Aosta. During this period Émeric was appreciated as a very worth and pious priest, a friend of poor people. In October 1301 he was appointed new augustan bishop by all the canonics of Aosta including the ones of Saint Peter and Ursus capitol and in January 1302 he was consecrated bishop in Biella by Aimo of Challant, bishop of Vercelli. All his biographers agree about his worthy life, his attention to poor people, his humility and devotion, but also his strength in protecting the rights of the wick from the arrogance of the wealthier. Émeric regularly convoked the Synod of his diocesis (we better know the one of 1307), promoting the sanctity of the clergy and the laities with rigorous rules especially in items such as fastings and religious feasts. In 1311 he established the feast of the Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary as a day of obligation. He died in 1 September 1313 in Aosta and was buried in the chapel of Aosta Cathedral dedicated to Holy Mary's Conception. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emerico di Quart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
