Giuseppe Ciantes,

Bishop of Marsico Nuovo (1640–1656).[2]

Biography

Giuseppe Ciantes was born in

co-consecrators.[3] He distinguished himself by the good example which he set in his diocese. In January 1656 he resigned the episcopal functions to retire to the convent of Minerva. In 1657 Ciantes published a "monumental bilingual edition of the first three Parts of Thomas Aquinas' Summa contra Gentiles, which includes the original Latin text and a Hebrew translation prepared by Ciantes, assisted by Jewish apostates, the Summa divi Thomae Aquinatis ordinis praedicatorum Contra Gentiles quam Hebraice eloquitur…. Until the present this remains the only significant translation of a major Latin scholastic work in modern Hebrew."[4] He died in the convent of Minerva on 24 February 1670.[2][3]
