Educator and author, born at Florence, 8 Aug., 1716; died at Rome, 16 Sept.,
1788. He entered the Society of Jesus, 22 Oct., 1731, and was employed chiefly
in teaching philosophy and theology, though for a time he professed mathematics
at the Roman College, and assisted Father Asclepi in his astronomical
observations. The most noted of his writings is the work "De Miraculis" (Rome,
1777), which he carefully revised in two succeeding editions (Rome, 1779 and
1785). In this work, besides giving the positive doctrine on the nature and
reality of miracles, he has marshalled together with great thoroughness the
objections brought forward by the rationalists of his own and preceding times
against the chief miracles of the Old and the New Testament, so that the work
may be considered as a compendium of the literature of the subject, up to the
last quarter of the eighteenth century. His other chief works are: "De Causa
efficiente" (Rome, 1764); "De Bono, Malo et Pulchro" (Rome, 1766); "De Mundo"
(Rome, 1770); "De Ideis Mentis humanæ" (Rome, 1772); "De Motu" (Rome, 1774); "De
Anima Brutorum" (Rome, 1775); "De Signis Idearum" (Rome, 1781).
