TRIUMPHUS, trai'mnf-us, AUGUSTINUS (AUGUSTINO TRIONFO): Italian Augustinian; b. at Ancona in 1243; d. at Naples Apr. 2, 1328. At the age of eighteen he entered the Augustinian order, and studied at Paris under Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventura, later himself delivering lectures. In 1274 he was summoned by Gregory X. to the Council of Lyons, and three years later became chaplain of Prince Francesco Carrara at Padua. Later he was again at Ancona, whence he was called to Naples by Charles II., where until his death he was royal tutor, counselor, and envoy. A steadfast adherent of papal sovereignty, he wrote, in 1308, his treatise Contra articutos inventos ad di,$'amdndum sanctissimum patrem . . Bonifacium papam, which, while advocating obedience to the French Pope Clement V., urged that the papal throne be filled by Italians. Other writings of this period are Super facto templariorum and De potentate collegii mortuo papa, the first declaring that the

pope alone has power to judge heretics, and accordingly disapproving the royal proceeding in the case of the Knights Templars (see Templars), and the second opposing the oligarchic tendency of the college of cardinals, an attitude still further emphasized in his Contra divinatores et somniatores. These thoughts are summed up in his Summa de Potentate ecclesiastics ., written about 1322 (Augsburg, 1473, etc.; last ed., Rome, 1584), in which the doctrine of papal supremacy over emperor and princes is carried to its utmost extreme.
