Salimbene di Adam
Salimbene of Parma (actually Ognibene de Adam [o ], partly out as Salimbene de Adam, born October 9, 1221 Parma; † after 1288) was an Italian Franciscan monk.
Life
Born as the third son of the continental parmesischen citizens nobility later Crusader Guido de Adam, Salimbene be closed against the will of his father in 1238 at the Franciscan order. With the involvement of Emperor Frederick II and Pope Innocent IV Guido tried in vain to persuade his son to return. After years of apprenticeship in Tuscany, including Siena (1241-1243) and Pisa (1243-1247), located Salimbene went to Lyons, where he was received IV personally on November 1, 1247 by Innocent, which he probably from the siege Parma by Frederick II reported. By the Pope, with the permission to preach before his ordination, traveled Salimbene on to Paris and Sens in southern France. There he met with Hugh of Digne, who brought him the teachings of Joachim of Fiore closer.
During his subsequent trip through Provence Salimbene was assigned by his Father General John of Parma to Genoa, where he was ordained a priest in 1248. The end of 1249 he moved to Ferrara. His whereabouts between 1256 leaving Ferrara, and 1282 are time to determine only very approximate. In 1273 he accompanied the Bolognese at the siege of Forli. Beginning in 1282 he retired to a nearly permanent residence under Reggio Emilia, where he developed his literary and chrono printmaking activities.
Work
In the last years of his life Salimbene devoted almost exclusively to writing. But only his heavily autobiographical held Chronicle, which covers the period 1167 to 1287 ( 1288 in hints ), has been preserved. And even this chronicle could not be fully salvaged in recent times. It is handed down only from sheet 208, they also could have included at least 35 more leaves. Lost are probably five other chronicles.
The part of the Chronicle, which is received today, is based on the Liber de Temporibus, one written by Albert Pope Milioli Chronicle, which is intertwined with the history of the city of Reggio (Emilia ). Much of the Chronicle, its beginning and a sequel, based on the world's great chronicle of the bishop of Cremona Siccard. Furthermore, there are Salimbene plant extracts from Martin of Opava, the Golden Legend of Jacob Verazze and the Historica Scholastica of Peter Comestor basis. Salimbene initially began this work written down, but he pulled out at any occasion of its presentation, and added his own experiences, comments, stories and anecdotes ( especially his animosity to Frederick II ). Numerous anecdotes about Friedrich describe alleged attempts of the emperor. So shall Friedrich newborn children have isolated to fathom the original language of mankind.
