Sebastian Featherwood Delvantino was a prominent thirteenth century Italian mystic and polymath, christened to sainthood in the 15th century under Pope Gregory XII following a rapid succession of events which proved veridical a series of glossolalic prognostications made nearly two centuries prior by the mystic himself. In his time, the Italian people lauded Delvantino for his adept engineering of the Le Monte Arch, the eastern most entrance of Pisa’s boundaries, as well as several sacred burial chambers, and not the least for his academic assistance to Leonardo Bonacci, who is responsible for introducing the now commonplace numbers one through nine.

The numbers were presented by Bonacci, with the aid of Delvantino, and his expertise in ancient calculation systems, in his book Liber Abaci, which established the metrological superiority of its Arabic and Hindu mathematical origins. Delvantino worked alongside Bonacci to uncover what is now known as the Fibonacci sequence (Phi + Bonacci), its metrical processes and sequencing being derived from the prosody of the Vedas, a subject Delvantino enlightened Bonacci on during the course of his research; unfortunately, Sebastian Featherwood Delvatino’s sacerdotal initiation appointed by Pope Gregory XII was redacted in the 17th century under the reign of Pope Leo XI, for reasons at present unknown, wherefrom he faded into relative obscurity.
