ANNIBALI DA LATERA, FLAMINIO. - Franciscan, writer, b. at Latera (Viterbo) on 23 Nov. 1733, d. at Viterbo on 27 Feb. 1813. Having entered the Order at Orte on 28 Jan. 1750, he devoted himself to study to such an extent that he became lector general of philosophy (1758) and of theology (1764), which he taught at Viterbo and then at Rome. From 1791 to 1792 he was definitor general, and from 1794 to 1797 he governed the Roman province as provincial. Because of the Napoleonic suppression (1810) he retired to Viterbo, where he ended his days.

As a writer he was very active in the historical-ecclesiastical field, and he dealt with the Via Crucis, the indulgence of the Portiuncula, the Third Order and the stigmata of St. Francis. The most notable works were: Manuale dei Frati Minori (Rome 1776); Ad Bullarium Franciscanum... Supplementum (Rome 1780); Compendio della Storia degli Ordini religiosi esistenti (4 vols., Rome 1790-91; 3rd ed., Naples 1796). He edited the edition of the Breviario O.F.M. (Rome 1785), and the reprint of F. Horantius, Locorum catholicorum... libri VII (2 vols., Rome 1795).
