Biography

Antonius Agellius was born at

Congregation of the Index
, and in the year 1593 bishop of Acerno, in the Campagna Felice. This dignity he retained until the year 1604, when, the service of the Church requiring his constant residence in Rome, he resigned his bishopric, receiving from Pope for his maintenance an abbey, and apartments in the episcopal palace at Rome. Here he died in the year 1608.

Works

In addition to his editorial labours mentioned above, he wrote the following works, which are described by Ughelli as most accurate, copious, and valuable:

  1. Commentarium in Lamentationes Hieremiæ ex Auctoribus Græcis collectum, cum Explicatione e Catena Græcorum Patrum ex ejusdem Versione. Romæ, 1585, 4to.
  2. Agelli, Antonio (1597). In Habacuc Prophetam. Antverpiæ. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |agency= ignored (help)
  3. Agelli, Antonius (1606). Commentarii in Psalmos et in Divini Officii Cantica. Romæ. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |agency= ignored (help) It is said that Cardinal Bellarmine, who had written upon the Psalms, declared, in allusion to the commentaries of Agelli, that he never would have published his own work, unless compelled so to do by the general of his order, as Agelli had forestalled all the praise and carried off the palm of honour.
  4. In Proverbia Salomonis Commentarius, published by Novarini in his Varia Opuscula, Veronæ, 1649, fol. Part III, p. 109.
  5. Cyrilli Alexandrini Libri XVII de Adoratione in Spiritu et Veritate, e Græco in Latinum translati et Scholiis illustrati. Romæ, 1588, folio.
  6. Cyrilli Alexandrini adversus Nestorii Blasphemias Contradictionum Libri V, e Græco in Latinum translati, cum Scholiis. Romæ, 1607, fol. This work of Cyril of Alexandria had never before been published.
  7. Procli Patriarchæ Constantinopolitani Epistola de Fide ad Armenos Agellio interprete, published in vol. XI of the Bibliotheca Patrum, Paris, 1654, fol.

In addition to the above, the following works are preserved in manuscript in the Quirinal Library of the Regular Clerks:

  1. Opusculum de Ponderibus et Mensuris.
  2. In Isaiam Prophetam à cap XXI ad finem.
  3. In Danielem Expositio.
  4. In Duodecim Prophetas Expositiones.
  5. In Epistolas Pauli et Catholicas Annotationes, Græce et Latine.
  6. In Tria Priora Capita Apocalypsis.
  7. Selecta ex Rabbinorum Commentariis in Job.
  8. Rabbi Bravatellus in Habacuc, Latine.
  9. Scholia in Dionysium Areopagitam, Græce.
  10. Phraseologia Demosthenis et Nazianzeni, Græce.

He likewise assisted Mario Altieri in the correction of the

Gallican Psalter, and by order of Clement VIII made a strict criticism of the Talmud
. Neither the corrections nor criticism have been published.
