[1] There have been presuppositions that Pope Martin IV (reigned 1281-85) canonized Benvenuto Scotivoli, his friend and contemporary, claims that the eminent Franciscan historian Luke Wadding (1588-1657) accepted as true. However, there exists no proof that a formal canonization ever took place. Nonetheless, Cardinal Cesare Baronio inserted his elogium in the 1586 edition of the Roman Martyrology.
