FRANCIS OF FABRIANO, Blessed. - Franciscan, b. 2 Sept. 1251, d. 22 Apr. 1322. Of the Venimbeni family, he entered the Franciscan Order in 1267; having become a priest, he exercised the ministry of preaching with great fruit in Fabriano and in the Picene region. In his native city he erected a large church in honor of St. Francis and a convent of his Order, which he endowed with a notable library.

He also carried on a busy literary activity, of which, however, little remains today. The manuscripts are enumerated by Wadding and by Sbaralca: 1) Sermones multi; 2) Ars Praedicantium; 3) De caritate et excellentia indulgentiae S. Mariae de Portiuncola; 4) Tractatus de officio et dignitate praelati et sacerdoti evangelici.

Pius VI approved his cult in 1775.
