Rampegollis (Antoni Rampegolo) was a Genoese Augustinian whose text, Figurae Bibliae, was probably composed in around 1373 (the date of the earliest manuscript). It was apparently composed at the request of his students in Naples, from his lectures in biblical exegesis at the Studium, designed for future preachers.
