Simon Rinalducci of Todi was a famous Italian Augustinian friar and preacher of the 13th century. ==Life== Rinalducci became an Augustinian friar in 1280. By that time he was already notable for his theological studies. He was a lector, prior of several houses, rumored miracle worker, and in his time, a famous preacher. He was eventually raised to the position of Augustinian provincial prior in Umbria. An episode in his life involves a general chapter conference in 1318, during which he was unjustly accused of several serious charges. Simon chose to keep silence rather than incite scandal among his brothers, and he was eventually acquitted. Contemporary chronicler Jordan of Saxony writes about this episode in his ''Life of the Brethren'': In May 1311, it is recorded that the bishop of Terni gave the Augustinians of his episcopal see a church in the diocese chiefly at the request of Rinalducci, whom he held as a very close friend.〔 Rinalducci died at Bologna in the monastery of Saint James the Great on 20 April 1322.〔 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「Simon Rinalducci」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
