PAPINI TARTAGNI, NICCOLÒ. - Historian of the Conventual Friars Minor, b. at S. Giovanni Valdarno in Dec. 1751, d. at Terni on 16 Dec. 1834. He entered the Order at a very young age and was first professor of philosophy, theology and rhetoric in his native Tuscany and then at Modena; subsequently custos of the convent of St. Francis in Assisi (1800) and guardian of the convent of the Sts. Apostles in Rome (1803); finally minister general of his Order (1803-1809).
He cultivated Franciscan historical studies in particular, of which, in his time, he was a true restorer and a shrewd critic in judging the Minorite historical sources, still consulted with profit today.
Of the published works the most important are: Etruria francescana (part 1, Siena 1797; among the unpublished works part 2); Notizie sicure della morte, sepoltura, canonizzazione e traslazione di s. Francesco e del ritrovamento del di lui corpo (Florence 1822, Foligno 1824); Storia del Perdono di Assisi (Florence 1824); Storia di s. Francesco d'Assisi (2 vols., [vol. III unpublished], Foligno 1825-27); Index Fratrum Minorum Conventualium qui scientias et artes, conducti, publice tradiderunt, in Miscell. Franc., 31 (1931), pp. 95-102, 170-174, 259-60; 32 (1932), pp. 33-36, 72-77.
