Francis of Meyronnes, known as Doctor Illuminatus, was born ca.1288 in Provence. He studied under John Duns Scotus and became a Master of Theology in Paris in 1323. From 1323 to 1328 he was Provincial Minister of Provence and was known to have preached at the papal court of John XXII in Avignon. He died in Piacenza ca. 1328. In 1467 the General Minister, Franciscus Sampson, had a marble memorial erected in the choir of the Franciscan church of Piacenza, near the sacristy "lest the bones of the Doctor Illuminatus lie unadorned." The memorial is decorated with a picture in relief that shows the Doctor Illuminatus seated on his magisterial chair, surrounded by students. I translate and abbreviate the verse above the picture |
