Dominic, St (
c.1174–1221), founder of the Order of Preachers known as the
Dominican Order. Born in Old Castile, he joined the canons of Osma. In 1203–5 he accompanied the new bishop of Osma on two embassies to N. Europe; on their way back to Spain they became involved in the mission against the
Albigensians. A new style of itinerant, mendicant preaching was adopted and in 1215 Dominic, who was a regular member of the mission, was put in charge of its new base at Toulouse. With the support of the local bishop, he founded a permanent community of preachers there. They adopted the Rule of St
Augustine and between 1216 and 1218 were progressively recognized by
Honorius III as a new order. In 1217 Dominic began to disperse his friars to other parts of the world. In 1220 he summoned a General Chapter at
Bologna, where the Order's first constitutions were completed. He also laid the foundations of an order of Dominican nuns. He is traditionally, but wrongly, held to have instituted the
rosary. Feast day, 8 Aug.; formerly 5 Aug. until 1558, then 4 Aug.
