MARTIN OF BARCELONA. - Capuchin historian, b. in Barcelona on 4 Oct. 1895, beheaded there by the communists in the second half of Dec. 1936. He entered the novitiate of Arenys de Mar on 15 Oct. 1910; ordained a priest on 5 May 1918, he perfected his studies in the historical sciences at Louvain (1924-26).
Particularly worthy of note is his Estudio crítico de las fuentes históricas de s. Francisco y s. Clara (Barcelona 1921). He also cultivated and promoted Franciscan and Catalan historical research, above all through his direction, from 1926, of the Estudis franciscans (Estudios franciscanos), bringing back to light medieval Franciscan authors, among them Fr. Eiximenis with the studies on the Doctrina compendiosa (Barcelona 1929) and on the Terg del crestià (2 vols., ibid. 1929-1930); as well as with the Notes descriptives dels mss. franciscans medievals de la Bibliot. nacional de Madrid (ibid. 1933). La cultura catalana en el reinado de Jaime II (ibid. 1936) earned him the "Francesc Vives" prize. To him is also owed the critical edition of the Historia de la primacia de la seu de Tarragona (Tarragona 1924). He collaborated with articles in various journals.
