ADRIANI, FRANCESCO. - Friar Minor, who lived in the 14th century. He completed his higher studies in Paris, graduating from the Sorbonne. He distinguished himself in preaching and in the study of Greek and Latin. He was one of the nine founders of the famous "Collegio teologico bolognese" [Bolognese Theological College], erected in 1563. On its foundation tablets these words were written in his praise: "viri angelicae vitae". Sbaraglia holds that he wrote numerous works. So far, however, only one short work is known: Tractatus in symbolum s. Athanasii, which has remained unpublished.
