About
Marianus of Florence was a Friar Minor, historian, and chronicler of the Franciscan Order; born in Florence about the middle of the fifteenth century, exact date of birth uncertain; died there, 20 July 1523. Very little is known of his life and personality; none of his chronicles or other works have been published. In his most noted work entitled Fasciculus Chronicarum, there is contained a history of the Franciscan Order from the beginning up to the year 1486. Though it was written three centuries after the death of St. Francis, it is not necessarily untrustworthy, for he had access to original sources now lost, of which some fragments have been passed on to us through him. Wadding (1907) complains that his style is crude and inelegant; some have attributed this to the impatience of the nun Dorothea Broccardi (Dorothea scripsit appears on all her handiwork), who offered to be his amanuensis and who was continually pressing him for copy. Marianus fell a victim to the plague while engaged in administering the last sacraments to the inhabitants of his native city.
