History of the Order of St Augustine
( 2 Articles )
On December 16th 1243, Pope Innocent IV issued the bull Incumbit nobis calling several eremitical communities in Tuscany, Italy to unite into a single religous order with the Rule and way of the life of Saint Augustine. This had been the wish of the hermits.In March 1244 the hermits held a founding chapter in Rome under the guidance of Cardinal Richard Annibaldi and the Union was put into effect. The pope directed the hermits to elect for themselves a prior general and to draw up a set of constitutions, From then on they became known as the Hermits of the Order of St. Agustine and from this began the history of the Order of Saint Augustine.
