Gundisalvus of Lagos, O.E.S.A. (Portuguese: Gonçalo de Lagos; c. 1360 – 15 October 1422) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and Augustinian friar.
Gundisalvus was the prior of several Augustinian houses, among them the important Convent of Our Lady of Grace in Lisbon (the seat of the Province of Portugal of the Augustinians). He was a theologian and preacher of some repute, who concentrated his catechetical work on children, as well as the illiterate and the uneducated. A gifted scribe and artist, he was also known to have illuminated liturgical books and to have composed plainsong pieces.[2]
