About Arlotto of Prato
Lived 1201 – 1286 (aged 84–85). Arlotto of Prato was a theologian and regular priest.
Arlotto of Prato (died 1286) was an Italian Franciscan theologian. He became Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor at the end of his life.
Arlotto is known also for the Quaestio de Aeternitate Mundi, and as a Biblical scholar. He compiled a Bible concordance, of the Latin Vulgate. This is sometimes cited as the first such.
