Alexander of San Elpidio
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]
