Martial Auribelli

Last updated

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 Dominicans would split the Order into less and more observant parts, as had happened to the Franciscans. [4]
