HENRY OF RIMINI. - Dominican theologian, b. at Rimini, d. ca. 1314. He entered the Dominican order in his city. He appears to have been a lecturer in theology. He and Gregory of Cattaro, each with a confrere, received permission to reside at the court of the Serbian king Uroš I, who had as his wife Helen of Valois, a Catholic. The religious had the task of counselors in the event that the king should take steps toward ecclesiastical union.

Bibliographers attribute to E. the following works: Tractatus de quattuor virtutibus cardinalibus ad cives Venetiae (Spina 1472 or 1473); Quodlibetis caria theologica; Tractatus de septem capitibus iuncanis. The treatises De politia Venetiarum and De nobilitate et politia Venetiarum seem to be parts or alternative titles of the Tractatus de quattuor virtutibus cardinalibus.

E.'s doctrinal sources are pre-Thomistic; various descriptions and ethico-social doctrines are relevant for the history of morals and culture.
