ALBERTINUS N. published:

ALBERT OF BASCIA wrote:

ALBERT OF BOLOGNA wrote:
A Postil A series of short explanatory notes or a commentary. on the entire Bible.

ALBERT THE GERMAN, a monk and Abbot of Saint Mary’s in Stade in the diocese of Bremen, and later a Friar Minor, as we have written elsewhere (year 1240, number 1). He published:
A most learned and accurate Chronicle from the creation of the world down to the year 1256. It begins: From the first parent of men. It was published in Helmstedt in the year 1587 by Reynerus Steinhemius, a heretic, with scholia Explanatory notes and marginal annotations that are greatly corrupted and ought to be entirely struck out if anyone wishes to read the book lawfully and without offense. Albert Krantz took all the best parts regarding his own Saxony and its Metropolis from here. Willot confuses this author with Albert of Pisa, as does Possevino, who mentions Albert of Stade in three distinct places, and in the second place affirms that Albert wrote this Chronicle while he was Abbot. Aubertus Miræus fell into the same error as these authors in his supplement to the Ecclesiastical Library, chapter 402, but we have taught otherwise from the work itself elsewhere (year 1240, number 2).

ALBERT MARCHESIUS of Sichis, from the town of Cotignola in Romagna (year 1240, number 1), wrote:
The Gonzaga Colloquy (in the province of Bologna, entry 22) and the Centiloquium A work consisting of one hundred sections., which he calls a learned work, divided into eight books. It was published in Bologna in the year 1529; after two prologues it begins: Searchers of all things. He died at Cotignola in the year 1531.

ALBERT OF PISA, a Tuscan, whom (as we have said) Arnold Wion, Willot, Miræus, and Possevino confuse with Abbot Albert of Stade. Initiated at the very beginnings of the Order under Saint Francis, he was made Minister of England, Spain, Saxony, and later of the entire Order. A truly holy and learned man, he wrote:
The Deeds of his Brothers in England and Saxony.
He died in the year 1239.

ALBERT OF PONTARLIER, of the Third Order, wrote:
Lives of the Saints and Blessed of the Third Order.
Liturgical Prayers. He died in Rome on September 13, 1629.

ALBERT OF SARTEANO, (See much about Albert in volume 4 of the Annals.) From a town in Tuscany, although Willot called him a Milanese. A distinguished man, learned in Greek and Latin, and in divine and human literature; dear to Pope Eugenius IV and Nicholas V. He was for some time Vicar General of the entire Order, and served as an interpreter of the Greek language at the Council of Florence, to which he also brought the Jacobites Referring to members of the Coptic or Ethiopian churches. from the most remote regions of Egypt. An outstanding preacher and a reformer of lax discipline. At that time, he had Guarino of Verona as his master, during the period when Latin eloquence in Italy began to be restored to its brilliance. He wrote many short works elegantly and learnedly, which I have in my possession in his own original handwriting. They are as follows:

A Treatise on Penance, written in the year 1433. It begins: By very many, and in many places.

A Treatise on the Sacrament of the Eucharist. 1422. I believe you, most dear Fathers.

On the condition of friendship, and on the malice of envy. Not otherwise by that agreement.

That it does nothing to harm virtue to be born in a humble place. Lest you perhaps falsely judge.

On correcting the insolent. 1446. When the Apostle Paul.

Against the detractors of Martyrs, to Pope Eugenius IV, against those of the greatest glory.

A Sermon held in the General Assembly of the Order celebrated at Padua in the year 1443. Although all of us.

Many Letters to the aforementioned Pope Eugenius, to various Bishops, and especially to Christopher, Bishop of Rimini, a close advisor to Eugenius. We have transcribed many parts from the works of this famous man throughout volume 4 of the Annals; if it pleases God, we shall one day make the whole collection public. Albert died in Milan in the year 1450, after he had worked strenuously with those most holy men, Bernardino of Siena, John Capistran, and James of the March, for the restoration of the Order's discipline.

ALBERT, Bishop of Treviso, produced:
A Papal Summary.

ALEXANDER V, of the Order of Minors, called Peter Philargi (or Philareti) and the "Resplendent Doctor." Born in Crete, as I have elsewhere (Year 1405, number 12) judged most probable. After many other honors, from...
