13 of July's 18 SanctiM-track saints authored (5 left unsourced, Common-only). Discovered the Monastic calendar keeps a full Octave of St. Benedict (Jul 11-18), which explains several dates' SanctiM files not matching their expected saint. Also hit a translation-misalignment bug on St. Bonaventure's English source (paragraph boundaries don't line up with the Latin), worked around with an original translation.

Joánnes Gualbertus, Floréntiæ nobili genere ortus, dum patri óbsequens rem militarem
|
||||
sequitur, Ugo, únicus ejus frater, occíditur a consanguíneo. Quem cum solum et inérmem
|
||||
sancto Parasceves die Joánnes, armis ac milítibus stipatus, óbvium haberet, ubi néuter
|
||||
álterum poterat declináre, ob sanctæ crucis reveréntiam, quam homicida supplex, mortem
|
||||
jamjam subiturus, brácchiis signabat, vitam ei clementer indulget. Hoste in fratrem
|
||||
recepto, próximum sancti Miniátis templum oratúrus ingréditur, ubi adoratam Crucifixi
|
||||
imáginem caput sibi fléctere cónspicit. Quo mirábili facto permotus Joánnes, Deo exínde,
|
||||
étiam invíto patre, militare decernit, atque ibidem propriis sibi mánibus comam
|
||||
totondit, ac monasticum hábitum índuit: adeoque piis ac religiosis virtútibus brevi
|
||||
coruscat, ut multis se perfectiónis specimen ac normam præbéret; ita ut, ejusdem loci
|
||||
abbate defuncto, communi ómnium voto in superiórem eligerétur. At Dei famulus, cupiens
|
||||
subesse potius quam præesse, ad majora divina voluntáte servatus, ad Camaldulénsis
|
||||
eremi íncolam Romualdum proficíscitur, a quo cælicum sui institúti vaticinium áccipit;
|
||||
tum suum ordinem sub regula sancti Benedicti apud Umbrosam vallem instituit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Deínde, plurimis ad eum ob ejus sanctitátis famam undique convolántibus, una cum iis
|
||||
in socios adscitis, ad hæreticam et simoníacam pravitátem exstirpandam et apostolicam
|
||||
fidem propagandam sédulo incumbit, innumera proptérea in se et suis incommoda expertus.
|
||||
Nam, ut eum ejusque socios adversarii perdant, noctu sancti Salvii cœnóbium repénte
|
||||
aggrediúntur, templum incendunt, ædes demoliúntur, et mónachos omnes lethali vulnere
|
||||
sauciant; quos vir Dei único crucis signo incólumes prótinus reddit, et, Petro ejus
|
||||
mónacho per immensum ardentissimúmque ignem illæso mirabíliter transeúnte, optatam sibi
|
||||
et suis tranquillitátem óbtinet. Inde simoníacam labem ab Etruria éxpulit, ac in tota
|
||||
Italia fidem prístinæ integritáti restituit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Multa fúnditus eréxit monasteria, eademque et alia ædificiis ac regulari observántia
|
||||
instaurata, sanctis légibus communívit. Ad egénos alendos sacram supelléctilem véndidit:
|
||||
ad ímprobos coërcendos eleménta sibi famulari conspéxit: ad dæmones comprimendos crucem
|
||||
quasi ensem adhibuit. Demum abstinentiis, vigiliis, jejuniis, oratiónibus, carnis
|
||||
maceratiónibus ac senio confectus, dum infirma valetúdine gravarétur, Davídica illa
|
||||
verba persæpe repetebat: Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: quando véniam et
|
||||
apparébo ante fáciem Dei? Jamque morti próximus, convocatos discipulos ad fraternam
|
||||
concordiam cohortátur, et in brevículo, cui consepeliri vóluit, jussit hæc scribi: Ego
|
||||
Joánnes credo et confiteor fidem, quam sancti Apóstoli prædicavérunt, et sancti Patres
|
||||
in quatuor conciliis confirmavérunt. Tandem, triduano Angelórum obsequio dignátus,
|
||||
septuagesimum octavum annum agens, apud Passinianum, ubi summa veneratióne cólitur,
|
||||
migrávit ad Dóminum, anno salútis millesimo septuagesimo tertio, quarto Idus Julii.
|
||||
Quem Cælestinus tertius, innumeris miraculis clarum, in Sanctórum númerum rétulit.

John Gualberto was the son of a noble family at Florence. In accordance with the wishes
|
||||
of his father, he became a soldier. While he was in that profession, his only brother,
|
||||
Hew, was slain by a cousin. On a certain Good Friday, John, armed and accompanied by
|
||||
soldiers, met the murderer, alone and defenceless, in a narrow way, where neither could
|
||||
turn aside. As he was at the point to kill him, the wretch fell on his knees, and
|
||||
stretched out his arms in the form of the Cross, adjuring him, for the sake of that sign,
|
||||
to forgive him; and out of reverence for the Cross he had mercy on him and spared his
|
||||
life. After pardoning his enemy, he went into the Church of St. Minias, which was hard by,
|
||||
to pray. And there he saw the image of Jesus crucified, which had that day received the
|
||||
worship of the faithful, bow its head to him. By this miracle John was so moved, that he
|
||||
laid aside soldiering, even against his father's wishes, cut off his hair with his own
|
||||
hands, at the Convent of St. Minias, and clad himself in the garb of a monk. In a short
|
||||
while he so shone with all godly and monkish graces, that he became a pattern of
|
||||
excellency to many. When the Abbat of that house died, the monks all chose John to
|
||||
succeed him. But the servant of God desired to obey, more than to command, and, being
|
||||
kept by God for greater things, he betook himself to one Romuald, a dweller in the
|
||||
hermitage at Camaldoli. Through Romuald he received a revelation from heaven, and
|
||||
forthwith founded an Order of his own under the Rule of St. Benedict, in the valley
|
||||
called Vallombrosa.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Many gathered themselves to him, drawn by the fame of his holy life. Them he took for
|
||||
his comrades, and laboured earnestly among them to cleanse the Church in those parts from
|
||||
the pollution of heresy and simony, and spread abroad the Apostolic Faith. He and his had
|
||||
to fight with almost countless hardships. Certain enemies broke by night into the
|
||||
monastery of San Salvi, to destroy John and his monks, set the church on fire, pulled down
|
||||
the huts, and mortally wounded all the monks; but the man of God perfectly healed them
|
||||
all by the sign of the Cross. One of his monks named Peter also passed unhurt through a
|
||||
vast and raging fire. At length John and his disciples got the peace which they longed
|
||||
for. He purged Tuscany of the pollution of simony, and restored the faith throughout all
|
||||
Italy to its first purity.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He entirely built several monasteries, and furnished them and others with buildings. He
|
||||
restored in them the strict observance of the Rule, and gave them holy laws. He sold the
|
||||
furniture of the Church to feed the poor, and found the very elements subject to him to
|
||||
bend stubborn hearts withal. He used the Cross like a sword to drive out devils. In his
|
||||
old age, worn out by abstinence, watching, fasts, prayers, and punishing of the flesh, his
|
||||
strength utterly gave way, and he often repeated the words of David: My soul thirsteth for
|
||||
God, for the mighty God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God? When
|
||||
he was at the point of death, he gathered his disciples together and exhorted them to
|
||||
love one another, and, after a little while, ordered the following words to be written
|
||||
down, which he wished should be buried with him: I, John, do believe and confess that
|
||||
Faith which the Holy Apostles preached, and which the Holy Fathers have ratified in the
|
||||
four Councils. At length, at Passignano, where he is held in the highest reverence, after
|
||||
a vision of angels which lasted three days, he passed away to be with the Lord, upon the
|
||||
12th day of July, in the 78th year of his own age, and in that of salvation 1073. He is
|
||||
illustrious for countless miracles, and Celestine III. enrolled his name among those of
|
||||
the Saints.
