Camillo Almici

Camillo Almici (2 November 1714 – 30 December 1779[1]) was a Catholic priest and academic of the Congregation of the Oratory.

Biography

Almici was born at Brescia, of a noble family.[2] He became a member of the Congregation of the Oratory at a very early age, and devoted himself to the study of theology, Greek, and Hebrew, the Bible, chronology, religious and secular history, antiquities, criticism, diplomacy, and liturgy. He gained a strong reputation among his contemporaries for his scholarship.[1]

He has left critical reflections on the work of Febronius's De Statu Ecclesiae (1763), together with some treatises, part of which are still in manuscript.[2] His Méditations sur la vie et les écrits du P. Sarpi is a critical examination of Paolo Sarpi's partisan history of the Council of Trent.[1]

He wrote under multiple pseudonyms, including Callimaco Limi, Callimaco Mili, and N. N.[3]

His brother Giambattista Almici was a celebrated Italian jurist.[2]

Of the many works he wrote, the principal are the following:

  • Riflessioni sù di un libro di G. Febronio (1766)
  • Critica contro le opere del pericoloso Voltaire (1770)
  • Dissertazione spora i Martiri della Chiesa cattolica (1765, 2 vols.)
