BARTOLOMEO da SAN CONCORDIO. - Dominican, b. in the contado of Pisa in 1262. Received as a youth into the Dominican Order, he completed his studies at Bologna and Paris; he was later a lecturer at Florence. He died in the Pisan convent of S. Caterina in 1347.

Besides the Ammastramenti degli antichi, a large collection of maxims from classical authors, from ecclesiastical writers, and also his own, first compiled in Latin, then vernacularized by himself, and the Summa casuum conscientiae which, in the Italian version attributed to Giovanni delle Celle, is called Prunella or Maestruzzo, there are attributed to him the Chronicles known as of S. Caterina (down to 1314), a treatise on orthography and one on the art of memory. At the request of the Florentine Nero Cambi he translated into the vernacular the Catilinaria and the Jugurtha of Sallust.
