BARTOLOMEO DA BOLOGNA, Blessed. - Dominican, probably Italian, commonly but falsely called B. da Bologna, while the oldest documents call him B. de Podio (of or from Poggio?). A missionary in the East, he was promoted suffragan of the archbishop of Sultanich in Persia (1 May 1318) without being assigned any diocese. He settled at the Dominican mission of Maragah in Azerbaijan. In 1328 he converted the vartapet (doctor) John, superior of an Armenian monastery in Qénay (Cherna) near Nakhichevan, and with him founded the Armenian-Dominican congregation of the Friars Unitors and the Armenian-Catholic community of Nakhichevan. He died, according to tradition, on 15 August 1333, and, buried in Qénay, was the object of public cult attested by documents dating from 1404 to about 1750. A collection of his sermons translated from Persian into Armenian survives. He was called by some B. parvo or B. the Little through an unwarranted identification with a Dominican theologian named Bartolomeo Parvo, while others confused him with Bartolomeo Abagliati, a Sienese Dominican missionary, bishop of Tabriz.
