BARBERI, BARTOLOMEO (BARTOLOMEO da CASTELVETRO). - The most illustrious interpreter of Bonaventuran thought among the Capuchins of his time, b. at Castelvetro (Modena) on 1 Jan. 1615, d. at Modena on 24 Aug. 1679. At the age of sixteen he embraced the religious life in the religious province of Bologna; in 1679 he was aggregated to the new province of Lombardy (Parma). For many years he was a lecturer in philosophy and theology, a zealous preacher and a highly esteemed spiritual director.
His activity as a scholar was entirely devoted to the doctrine of St. Bonaventure, from whose works he drew scholastic manuals of philosophy (Flores et fructus philosophici seu Cursus philosophici ad mentem s. Bonaventurae, 3 vols., Lyon 1677) and of theology (Cursus theologicus ad mentem seraphi doctoris s. Bonaventurae, 2 vols., ibid. 1787), which contributed greatly to the dissemination of Bonaventuran thought. A Tabula seu Index generalis in Opera omnia s. Bonaventurae (ibid. 1681) has been of great service to the modern editors of Quaracchi. B. also studied Scripture in the light of the works of the Seraphic Doctor: Glossa seu summa ex omnibus s. Bonaventurae expositionibus in S. Scriptorum exacte collecta et in facem usum studiosis Concionatoribus secundum ordinem biblicam concinnata (4 vols., ibid. 1681-85). A treatise of his on spiritual theology: Teologia mistica del Serafico Dottore s. Bonaventura o pratica della presenza di Gesù Cristo Dio ed uomo remained in manuscript and is now lost.
