RIGAUD (Rigaldi), Jean (Johannes). - French Franciscan theologian, b. in the diocese of Limoges, d. at Avignon before 16 Sept. 1523. He entered the Order when, as he himself reports, many friars who had known St. Anthony of Padua were still alive. He was an apostolic penitentiary; on 21 Feb. 1317 he was appointed bishop of Tréguier (Brittany).

He wrote: Vita b. Antonii, one of the principal sources for the life of the Saint (ed. F. M. d'Araules [Delorme], La vie de st Antoine de Padoue, Bordeaux-Brive 1899; Italian trans., Quaracchi 1902), Formula confessionum, dedicated to B. Frédol, bishop of Frascati; Compendium theologiae pauperis, published at Basel in 1501, under the name of St. Bonaventure, without the long series of outlines of Sunday and Lenten sermons that follow it in the manuscripts. The work is a compilation based principally on the Compendium theologiae veritatis of Hugh of Strasbourg. In his Compendium R. refers to his Expositio Missae and says that he also wrote Sunday sermons. These two works have not yet been rediscovered.
