Alexander of San Elpidio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander of San Elpidio[1] (1269 - 1326) was an Italian Augustinian. He was known as prior-general[2] of the order of Hermits of St. Augustine, as a writer on theology[3] and political matters, and as bishop of Melfi.
He was a follower of Giles of Rome[4], regarded as an extreme papalist[5]. In 1324 he condemned Nicholas of Fabriano for his support of Louis of Bavaria[6], the opponent of Pope John XXII.
He wrote a commentary on De Civitate Dei[7].
