520 |a A "crocodile" was how the fourteenth-century Dominican inquisitor, bishop, and hagiographer Bernard Gui and his nephew, Peter Gui, characterized the Carcassonnais Dominican friar, Martin Donadieu († 1299) in their vita of Brother Martin. Unlike Dominican saints' lives from the thirteenth century who had often performed highly public, thaumaturgical miracles that demonstrated the power of the Church in the swiftly changing urban environment, Martin enacted none of his own, while those that he experienced were comparatively unimpressive. To the Guis, Martin was like a crocodile, for while he excelled when immersed in the "waters" of Dominican preaching-he was somewhat bumbling when on the "dry land" that constituted the rest of his daily life. Initially, according to Peter Gui, Pope John XXII had wished to canonize Martin, but eventually settled on Thomas Aquinas. Nevertheless, Bernard later wrote his life of Martin and Peter wrote a brief continuation, emphasizing Martin as a flawed human being whose saintliness came because of his total embrace of the Dominican vocation. In this way, Martin Donadieu became a metonym for the Carcassonne Dominicans that proclaimed the holiness of their mode of life.
