Very little is known of his life and personality. Marianus fell a victim to the plague while engaged in administering the last sacraments to the inhabitants of his native city. None of Marianus's chronicles or other works have been published. His most noted work, , is a history of the Franciscan Order from the beginning up to the year 1486. Though it was written three centuries after the death of Francis, it is not necessarily untrustworthy, for he had access to original sources now lost, of which some fragments have been passed on through him.

The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science.

Francesco Della Rossa Bartholi
Francesco della Rossa Bartholi (died c. 1372) was an Italian Franciscan chronicler. Life Little is known of his life save what may be gathered from his own writings. A native of Assisi, he is found in 1312 as a student in Perugia, and in 1316 at Cologne, whence he returned to Umbria bearing many relics, including those of St. Louis, King of France, given him by the latter's daughter, Princess Blanche, who had become a Poor Clare. In 1320 and in 1326, he was lector of theology at the Porziuncula; in 1332, he was guardian at San Damiano; and in 1334 he was at the Sacro Convento. He appears to have lived to a great age. He was acquainted with Marinus of Assisi, John of La Verna, Alvarus Pelagius and other well-known Franciscans. Whether he is to be identified with the Francesco Rubea who is mentioned among the partisans of Michael de Cesena or with the Franciscus de Assisio who was long imprisoned at Florence on a charge of heresy is a matter of conjecture.
