Martial Auribelli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martial Auribelli[1] (died 11 September 1473[2] was a French Dominican. He was head of his Order from 1453 to 1462, when he was deposed in favour of a papal candidate, Conrad of Asti. He was again Master-General from 1465 to 1473.

He was opposed by the reformer Johannes de Turrecremata, influential at the papal curia[3] Auribelli's concern was that reform of the Domincans would split the Order into less and more observant parts, as had happened to the Franciscans[4].
