Giovanni Dominici, OP (English: John Dominic c. 1355 – 10 June 1419[1]) was an Italian Catholic prelate and Dominican who became a cardinal.[2][3] His ideas had a profound influence on the art of Fra Angelico, who entered the Dominicans through him.
Dominici originally encountered difficulties becoming a friar due to a speech impairment that his superiors believed would rule him ineligible for both profession and the priesthood.[4]Despite this, Dominici became a noted theologian and preacher and was tireless in establishing monasteries and convents in cities such as Fiesole and Lucca.[5]
He attempted to resign his cardinalate in 1415 during the Council of Constance after he succeeded in convincing the pope to abdicate in order to end the Western Schism. The council refused to accept his resignation, though he had resigned from the archbishopric that he held. He spent the remainder of his life as a papal legate for Pope Martin V until he died in Buda.[4][6]
He had been first named as a Blessed since 1622 though he had not been recognized as such until he was beatified on 9 April 1832.[2][3][4]
