Agostino Recuperati (died 1540) was the Master of the Order of Preachers from 1539 to 1540.
The Master of the Order of Preachers is the leader of the Order of Preachers, commonly known as the Dominicans.
The Dominicans elected Recuperati Master of the Order of Preachers at a chapter held in 1539. [1] As master, he attempted to reform the Province of Portugal by sending in Spanish regulars but was largely unsuccessful. [1] He attempted to reform the Dominican convent at Genoa, but his methods earned him the rebuke of Pope Paul III. [1] His mastership saw the final suppression of the order in the Kingdom of England (where the order had been isolated by Henry VIII of England since 1523); six of 54 convents converted to Protestantism while the rest fled to exile on the continent.

The Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominican Order, is a mendicant Catholic religious order founded by the Spanish priest Dominic of Caleruega in France, approved by Pope Honorius III via the Papal bull Religiosam vitam on 22 December 1216. Members of the order, who are referred to as Dominicans, generally carry the letters OP after their names, standing for Ordinis Praedicatorum, meaning of the Order of Preachers. Membership in the order includes friars, nuns, active sisters, and affiliated lay or secular Dominicans.
A chapter is one of several bodies of clergy in Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Nordic Lutheran churches or their gatherings.
A province is almost always an administrative division within a country or state. The term derives from the ancient Roman provincia, which was the major territorial and administrative unit of the Roman Empire's territorial possessions outside Italy. The term province has since been adopted by many countries. In some countries with no actual provinces, "the provinces" is a metaphorical term meaning "outside the capital city".
He died in 1540. [1] St. Catherine of Ricci later reported seeing him in hell in a vision. [1]
Saint Catherine de' Ricci, O.S.D., was an Italian Dominican Tertiary sister. She is believed to have had miraculous visions and corporeal encounters with Jesus, both with the infant Jesus and with the adult Jesus. She is said to have spontaneously bled with the wounds of the crucified Christ. She is venerated for her mystic visions and is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church.
In Christian theology, Hell is the place or state into which by God's definitive judgment unrepentant sinners pass either immediately after death or in the general judgment. Its character is inferred from teaching in the biblical texts, some of which, interpreted literally, have given rise to the popular idea of Hell.
A vision is something seen in a dream, trance, or religious ecstasy, especially a supernatural appearance that usually conveys a revelation. Visions generally have more clarity than dreams, but traditionally fewer psychological connotations. Visions are known to emerge from spiritual traditions and could provide a lens into human nature and reality. Prophecy is often associated with visions.
