Martino Martini

 

Biography/Description

From the Iberian peninsula, Martinus wrote a commentary on the Liber Extra called the Candelabrum iuris around 1300. He was a ‘capellanus commensalis’ in the entourage of Cardinal Mateo Orsini. He died in 1305. Martinus had also been a canon at the chapter of Toledo. He may be identical with a Martinus Martini mentioned in a will drafted at Salamanca in 1270. A forerunner of the Candelabrum seems to be another work of the same title in Paris, BN lat. 18227.

Peter Linehan has supplied information about Martinus.
