Salimbene di Adam

Salimbene di Adam

Salimbene di Adam or Salimbene of Parma (9 October 1221–"c." 1290), was an Italian Franciscan friar and chronicler who is an important source for Italian history of the 13th century.

He was born in Parma the son of Guido di Adam, a crusader. Salimbene joined the Franciscan order in 1238 at the monastery of Fano. He led a life of wandering, avoiding his father who did not wish him to join the order, and visited Pisa and other Italian towns; then in 1247 he was sent to Lyon, and visited Paris, Ferrara Cremona, Troyes, Florence, Ravenna, Genoa, Reggio and the monastery of Montefalcone (near San Polo d'Enza). The last being the probable site of his death.

Salimbene's main work was his "Cronica" "Chronicle", covering the years 1167–1287. It was begun around 1282 and begins with the founding of Alessandria. His extensive travels meant that he met many important people of the time including Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, Louis IX of France and Pope Innocent IV. He also describes everyday life vividly and gives unrivalled detail into internal disputes in the Franciscan order at the time.

He also wrote "The Twelve Calamities of Emperor Frederick II" and several treatises now lost.
