PETER (ALMADURA) OF BERGAMO. - Dominican theologian and writer, b. at Bergamo at the beginning of the 15th century, d. at Piacenza on 15 Oct. 1482. A religious at Bergamo, he taught theology at Bologna, where he was master of the students (1461), sententiary (1466-67) and regent of studies (1471-76). He died in the reputation of sanctity.
A passionate student of St. Thomas, he compiled an accurate index of all the works of the Aquinate, known under the name of Tabula aurea (Bologna 1473, Basel 1478); he also wrote: Etimologiae idest Concordantiae conclusionum (Venice 1476, Cologne 1480), in which the real concordance of apparently discordant propositions of the Aquinate is proved; Tabula auctoritatum veteris ac novi Testamentii (Cologne 1473): it is an index of the passages of Holy Scripture cited by St. Thomas. The three works were reissued together under the title: Tabula in libros, opuscula et commentario D. Thomae de Aquino (Venice 1497, Rome 1579; with the definitive title Tabula aurea, Venice 1593, Antwerp 1612 etc.). He also edited an edition of St. Thomas's Commentary on the Letters of St. Paul (Bologna 1481, Basel 1495).
