AGOSTINI, GARGANO da SIENA. - Master of theology, regent of studies in his homeland (1488-91), commissary general of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual in Italy. He died in Siena on 19 Dec. 1523.

Of his theological work there remain the Commentarii in Philosophium and in Theologium (manuscripts in Siena and Florence), and the De Autoritate Protectoris Ordinis, in two books (1507), with which A. spoke out against the frequent and improper recourse of the friars to the cardinal protector, and appealed to earlier pontifical documents (of Gregory XI and Sixtus IV), the last of which was the letter « Acquam et consom » of 1505 from Julius II to the minister general Egidio Delfini.
