BARTHOLOMEW OF URBINO (Carnosi). — Augustinian theologian, disciple of Augustine Trionfo, whose *D. P. Augustini Milleloguium veritatis* he completed (Lyon 1555), dedicating it to Clement VI. The Pope wished to reward him by appointing him Bishop of Urbino (1347), where he soon died a holy death (1350). He was a great friend of Petrarch. He taught theology at Paris and Bologna.
He knew almost the entire works of St. Augustine by heart, from which he compiled a volume of *Commentarii tam in Vetus quam in Novum Testamentum d. Augustini ex omnibus lucubrationibus collecti*. However, these commentaries were published under his own name by the plagiarist Johannes Gast of Basel (Basel 1542). He took part in the struggle against Marsilius of Padua and William of Ockham, who impugned papal authority, with two unpublished treatises: *De Romani Pontificis, Christi Vicarii, auctoritate tractatus contra errores quorundam, qui tempore Ludovici Bavariae ducis, contra Ecclesiam Christique Vicarium insurrexerunt* and *Libri Aegidii Romani de regimine principum*. In the latter, which is a summary of the homonymous book by Giles of Rome, he defends the theory of the *potestas directa* of the Roman Pontiff over the temporal power of princes.
Among his other unpublished works are: *Index in Milleloquium s. Augustini cum encomis virorum illudrium de s. P. Augustino*; *Milleloquium D. Ambrosii*; *De re bellica spirituali per comparationem temporalis*, in three parts; *Opus de pugna spirituali*; *Tractatus de quattuor novissimis*.
