Saint François de Paule ou Thomas Illyricus ?


Description

This article is about an engraving that was in all likelihood printed by Jean de Guerlins in Toulouse early in the 16th century. What it represents has been debated; one reading suggests it is the arrival of St Francis of Paola in France. Looking at the issue anew made us favour the hypothesis of a Franciscan preacher, friar Thomas Illyricus, who travelled the Toulouse region between 1518 and 1521.
