Peter-Martyr Publishing
Peter-Martyr Publishing is named after St. Peter of Verona or Saint Peter-Martyr to the Dominican Order. This is the name the Master gave me at the taking of habit, when I was a Dominican Novice.
When I left I became a Dominican Tertiary and I established Peter-Martyr Publishing to revise, republish and print all the fruit of the Saintly Fathers of the Christian Church to promote them to all who desire a growth in intellect and will towards God.
Saint Peter of Verona lived and died trying to correct error with love and spread the faith with every instrument, ending with his last action of writing the Credo with the blood from his fatal wound to his head. This led to his murderer, Blessed Carino, converting and becoming a Dominican Friar himself, and being raised to the altar by the Church.

Carino, The Blessed Saintkiller
Carino was a ruthless individual hired by Cathars in Milan to assassinate Peter, a significant Catholic inquisitor. Carino hailed from Cinisello Balsamo. The assassination occurred on April 6, 1252, as Peter traveled from Como to Milan. Carino's assistant was Manfredo Clitoro from Giussano. They ambushed Peter in a secluded area near Barlassina, killing him and fatally injuring his companion, Domenico. Carino struck Peter's head and then stabbed him.
Following the murder, Carino sought refuge at a Dominican monastery in Forlì. There, he confessed his sin to Bl. Giacomo Salomoni of Venice. Carino undertook acts of penance and became a lay brother at the monastery. Manfredo, his accomplice, evaded capture and is thought to have hidden among the Waldenses in the Alps.
In the spirit of Saint Peter of Verona, we strive to promote a deeper understanding of faith through scholarly exploration. Our goal is to serve as a bridge between the past and present, allowing readers to connect with the foundational ideas that make up Veritas, which is truth in it's purest form.
We invite you to join us on this journey of intellectual and spiritual growth, allowing ourselves to be unlike Manfredo but rather akin to Blessed Carino, willing to change.
