        Antónius, Ulyssipóne in Lusitánia honéstis ortus paréntibus, et ab iis pie educátus,
        adoléscens, institútum canonicórum regulárium suscépit. Sed, cum córpora beatórum quinque
        Mártyrum fratrum Minórum Conímbriam transferéntur, qui paulo ante apud Marróchium pro
        Christi fide passi erant, martýrii desidério incénsus ad Franciscánum órdinem transívit. Mox
        eódem ardóre impúlsus, ad Saracénos ire perréxit; sed, advérsa valetúdine afflíctus et redíre
        coáctus, cum navi ad Hispániæ líttora ténderet, ventórum vi in Sicíliam delátus est.


        Assísium e Sicília ad capítulum generále venit: inde in erémum montis Pauli in Æmília
        secéssit, ubi divínis contemplatiónibus, jejúniis et vigíliis diu vacávit. Póstea, sacris
        ordínibus initiátus et ad prædicándum Evangélium missus, dicéndi sapiéntia et cópia tantum
        profécit, tantámque sui admiratiónem commóvit, ut eum summus Póntifex aliquándo concionántem
        áudiens, arcam Testaménti appellárit. In primis vero hǽreses summa vi profligávit,
        ideóque perpétuus hæreticórum málleus est vocátus.


        Primus ex suo ordine, ob doctrínæ præstántiam, Bonóniæ et álibi sacras lítteras est
        interpretátus, fratrúmque suórum stúdiis præfuit. Multis vero peragrátis provínciis, anno
        ante óbitum Patávium venit, ubi illústria sanctitátis suæ monuménta relíquit. Dénique magnis
        labóribus pro glória Dei perfúnctus, méritis et miráculis clarus obdormívit in Dómino Idibus
        Júnii. Quem Gregórius nonus, Póntifex máximus, sanctórum Confessórum número adscrípsit, et
        Pius duodécimus, ex Sacrórum Rítuum Congregatiónis consúlto, universális Ecclésiæ Doctórem
        declarávit.

        Ferdinand de Bullones, afterwards called Anthony, was born of decent parents at Lisbon in
        Portugal. They gave him a godly training, and while he was still a young man, he joined an
        Institute of Canons Regular. However, when the bodies of the five holy martyred Friars
        Minor, who had just suffered in Morocco for Christ's sake, were brought to Coimbra, the
        desire to be himself a martyr took a strong hold upon him, and he left the Canons Regular
        and became a Franciscan. The same yearning led him to attempt to go among the Saracens, but
        he fell sick on the way, and, being obliged to turn back, the ship in which he had embarked
        for Spain was driven by stress of weather to Sicily.


        From Sicily he came to Assisi to attend the General Chapter of his Order, and thence
        withdrew himself to the Hermitage of Monte Paolo near Bologna, where he gave himself up for
        a long while to consideration of the things of God, to fastings, and to watchings. Being
        afterwards ordained Priest and sent to preach the Gospel, his wisdom and fluency were very
        marked, and drew on him such admiration of men, that the Pope, once hearing him preach,
        called him The Ark of the Covenant. One of his chief points was to expend all his strength
        in attacking heresies, whence he gained the name of the Heretics' everlasting Hammer.


        He was the first of his Order who, on account of his excellent gift of teaching, publicly
        lectured at Bologna on the interpretation of Holy Scripture, and directed the studies of his
        brethren. He traveled through many provinces. The year before his death he came to Padua,
        where he left some remarkable records of his holy life. After having undergone much toil for
        the glory of God, full of good works and miracles, he fell asleep in the Lord upon the 13th
        day of June. Pope Gregory IX enrolled his name among those of the Holy Confessors, and Pius
        XII, on the advice of the Congregation of Sacred Rites, declared him a Doctor of the
        universal Church.
