(San Bonaventura) (Italian theologian, 1221–1274). Medieval scholastic theologian and philosopher, a contemporary of Thomas Aquinas, and a Cardinal Bishop of Albano. He was canonised by the Catholic Church and made a doctor of the church in 1588. Bonaventure wrote extensively on the connection between philosophy and theology, developing the view that "all divisions of knowledge are handmaids of theology." His major writings include a four-volume Commentary on the Sentences of Lombard, Commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke, De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam ("On the Reduction of the Arts to Theology"), and Itinerarium Mentis ad Deum ("The Mind's Journey Unto God").
