Bartholomew of Grottaferrata
- Bartholomew of Grottaferrata
Bartholomew of Grottaferrata (died 1055) was an abbot at the monastery at Grottaferrata.
He was a personal disciple of the founder of the abbey Nilus the Younger. He became Nilus' third successor in the position of abbot. Under his administration, which continued for some forty years, the monastery established a firm basis which would allow it to continue to this day.
Like his teacher, Bartholomew was a hymn-writer and noted calligrapher. He is also described as having a very sympathetic nature, and being unable to see anyone suffer without giving that party comfort.
He is regarded as a saint, with a feast day of November 11.
