Fabius Sinis (Fabius Syrius de Monte Regali/Fabio Sini da Monreale, fl. 17th cent.)

Fabius Sinis (Fabius Syrius de Monte Regali/Fabio Sini da Monreale, fl. 17th cent.) OFMConv. Italian friar. Joined the order in the Umbria province (Monreale friary?). Renowned preacher, who preached in many of the major churches of Rieti, Foligno and Spoleto, and in the Franciscan churches of Piacenza, Padua, Florence, Palermo en elsewhere. He completed his course of studies at the Collegium S. Bonaventurae in 1608, and fulfilled stints as lector at the study houses of Piacenza, Pisa, Ferrara, Aquila, Florence, and Palermo, to become regent in the Naples studium. He was provincial secretary in 1624. He led his province as commissarius generalis the same year, and again in 1629 and 1630, and in 1630 he was also made guardian of the Perugia friary. This appointment was only for a few months, as he was appointed to the position of provincial minister of Saxony, also to help guide the fight against Protestantism. He eventually returned to Italy, where he lived in the major Conventual friary of Rome, where a number of his works would have been kept in manuscript format. There he also acted as confessor and as personal theologian of Cardinal Girolamo Colonna. He died in his nineties on 26 May 1670.
