Arlotto of Prato
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arlotto of Prato[1] (died 1286) was an Italian Franciscan theologian.
He became Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor at the end of his life. He is known also for the Quaestio de Aeternitate Mundi, and as a Biblical scholar. He compiled a concordance of the Latin Vulgate. This is sometimes cited as the first such. It was in fact based on an earlier thirteenth century work of Hugh of St Cher. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that Arlotto's work was then used as a model for a Hebrew Bible concordance, by Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus.[2]
