formation of abufes, and the diligent difcharge of his 
epifcopal funftions. After a refidence of ten years on 
liis fee, he paid a vifit to Rome, where pope Gregory XIII. 
detained him for his afiiftant till the death of our prelate 
in 1574, when he was nearly fixty-three years of age. 
His religious and moral charafter are highly com¬ 
mended by his biographers. He was the author of feve- 
ral works that were publilhed after his death, among 
which are, 1. A Latin Commentary upon St. Paul’s 
Epiftle to the Romans, printed at Venice in 1581 and 
1388. 2. An Italian Commentary upon the Magnificat; 
Cologne, 1618. 3. De Hiftoria Divina, lib. v. Venice, 
1587. 4. De Vifitatione et Modo vifitandi, containing 
the afts of a fynod which he held at Bitonto. 5. Decla- 
ratio Pfalmi de profundis, &c. But his mod celebrated 
writings are his “ Sermons,” publilhed at Venice, 4 vols. 
4to. in 1582 and 1590; feveral of which were tranllated 
out of Italian into the French and Spanifh languages. 
Dupin charafterizes the author as a polifhed and eloquent 
writer, both in Latin and Italian ; and Tirabofchi, when 
fpeaking of his Sermons, obferves, “ If they do hot prove 
that the bilhop of Bitonto was the firft reformer of pulpit- 
eloquence, they at lead teftify that he contributed greatly 
towards fuch a reformation. They abound in foiid mat¬ 
ter, beautiful images, and eloquent exprelfions.” Gen.
