Saint Bonaventura relic and document

Sold out

US$499.00

This is a bit of a scarce item, we found one relic on ebay with document but it was a second class relic and the bids were still ongoing, they were at about 400 +- . Our price is higher but you have a first class relic. We did some other research and a second class which sold for 800. Our price is lower

Document has loads of wear but minimal browning which is good- has water stains or at least was placed at one point in a not so dry environment . However currently it was kept in a dry environment

still presents very well

relic holder looks in great shape- has some wear but overal a real nice item

Bonaventure OFM (/ˈbɒnəvɛntʃər, ˌbɒnəˈvɛntʃər/ BON-ə-ven-chər, -⁠VEN-; Italian: Bonaventura da Bagnoregio [ˌbɔnavenˈtuːra da (b)baɲɲoˈrɛːdʒo]; Latin: Bonaventura de Balneoregio; born Giovanni di Fidanza; 1221 – 15 July 1274)[6] was an Italian Catholic Franciscan bishop, cardinal, scholastic theologian and philosopher.

The seventh Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor, he also served for a time as Bishop of Albano. He was canonised on 14 April 1482 by Pope Sixtus IV and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1588 by Pope Sixtus V, becoming known as the "Seraphic Doctor" (Latin: Doctor Seraphicus). His feast day is 15 July.

Many writings from the Middle Ages once attributed to him have been subsequently re-classified under the name "Pseudo-Bonaventure".
