(AUXIMANUS).

A celebrated preacher and author, b. at Osimo, Italy, in the second half of the
fourteenth century; d. at Rome, 1453. After having studied law, and taken the
degree of doctor at Bologna, he joined the Friars Minor of the Observants in the
convent of San Paolo. Conspicuous for zeal, learning, and preaching, as
companion of St. James of the Marches in Bosnia, and as Vicar-Provincial of
Apulia (1439), Nicholas greatly contributed to the prosperity of the Observants
for whom (1440) he obtained complete independence from the Conventuals, a
privilege shortly after revoked according to the desire of St. Bernardine. He
was also appointed Visitator and afterwards Superior, of the holy land, but many
difficulties seem to have hindered him from the discharge of these offices.
Nicholas wrote both in Latin and Italian a number of treatises on moral
theology, the spiritual life, and on the Rule of St. Francis. We mention the
following: (1) "Supplementum Summæ Magistratiae seu Pisanellae," a revised and
increased edition of the "Summa" of Bartholomew of San Concordio (or of Pisa),
O.P., completed at Milan, 1444, with many editions before the end of the
fifteenth century: Venice, 1473 sqq.; Genoa, 1474; Milan, 1479; Reutlingen,
1483; Nuremberg, 1494. (2) "Quadriga Spirituale," in Italian, treats in a
popular way what the author considers the four principal means of salvation,
viz. faith, good works, confession, and prayer. These are like the four wheels
of a chariot, whence the name. The work was printed at Jesi, 1475, and under the
name of St. Bernardine of Siena in 1494.
