# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 1200, Albertus Magnus joined the Dominican order and spent his life reconciling the natural sciences with medieval faith. His contemporaries called him "Doctor expertus" for his command of subjects from astronomy to zoology; late in life they added "Magnus" to the name. He taught across Europe, eventually became a bishop, and trained a generation of thinkers in the new Aristotelian methods flooding back from the Islamic world. He died on 15 November 1280. The Church canonized him in 1931 and named him a Doctor of the Church, recognizing him as the greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages.
