<p> a [[Dominican]] of the 15th century, was a native of Piedmont, who received the religious habit at the hands of St. Antoninus, archbishop of Florence. In passing from [[Sicily]] to Naples, he was seized by corsairs and carried to Tunis, where he abjured the [[Christian]] faith, and embraced [[Mohammedanism]] in 1459. He quickly, however, repented, resumed his religious dress, and in a numerous assembly of the infidels declared himself to be a Christian and ready to die for the faith. Upon this he was stoned to death. It is said that his body resisted the flames into which his persecutors had thrown it, and was subsequently buried at [[Carthage]] by the [[Christians]] in a Genoese church. His Life was written by | Anthony The Blessed <ref name="term_20360" /> | ||
