Latin: Augustinus Dacus, Augustinus de Dacia
AUGUSTINE of DACIA (Dacus). - Dominican from Dacia (the medieval Latin designation for Scandinavia), d. 1285. He was provincial of Dacia for 22 years, from 1254 to 1266, and from 1272 until his death. A friend of King Eric Glipping of Denmark, he was left somewhat compromised when the papal legate Cardinal Guido of Burgundyexcommunicated the king at the Synod of Schleswig (1265), but he was rehabilitated at the general chapter of Trier (1266). He resided in Denmark; he visited the convents of Norway.
He wrote, besides a lost Compendiosum breviarium theologiae, a treatise for the formation of preachers, which he called Rotulus pugillaris, identified in a Basel manuscript (University Library, cod. BX9, ff. 37r-69r, copied around 1400) by dom G. Morin (1927), and shortly afterward in one at Uppsala (C. 647, f. 159r-176r), published by A. Walz (1928). Here there appears for the first time the well-known distich on the 4 biblical senses: «Littera gesta docet, quid credas allegoria, moralis quid agas, quid speres anagogia».
