Accursius Bonfantini (Accursio Bonfantini, fl. early 14 th cent.)

Accursius Bonfantini (Accursio Bonfantini, fl. early 14 th cent.) OM. Italian friar originating from Florence. Franciscan inquisitor, very active against alleged heretics in Tuscany. Praised by John XXII in 1328 and also acknowledged by Benedict XII (1337). Accursio took a stance against 'schismatic' Franciscans (first Spirituals and later also the partisans of Michael of Cesena). He is also known for a commentary on the Comedia of Dante , but only fragments of that work seem to have survived. For his biography, see the article of Eugenio Ragni in the DBI .
