BALDI, BERNARDINO (1533-1617)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 243 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALDI, BERNARDINO (1533-1617) , Italian mathematician and miscellaneous writer, was descended of a noble family at Urbino, in which city he was born on the 6th of June 1533. He pursued his studies at Padua with extraordinary zeal and success, and is said to have acquired, during the course of his
life
 , no fewer than sixteen languages, though according to Tiraboschi the inscription on his tomb limits the number to twelve. The
appearance
  of the plague at Padua obliged him to retire to his native city,.whence he was, shortly afterwards, called to act as tutor to Ferrante (Ferdinand)
Gonzaga
 , from whom he received the
rich
  abbey of
Guastalla
 . He held office as abbot for twenty-five years, and then retired to his native town. In 1612 he was employed by the duke as his
envoy
  to Venice, where he distinguished himself by the congratulatory oration he delivered before the Venetian senate on the election of the new doge,
Andrea
  Memmo. Baldi died at Urbino on the 12th of October 1617. He was, perhaps, the most universal genius of his age, and is said to have written upwards of a hundred different works, the
chief
 
part
  of which have remained unpublished. His various works give satisfactory evidence of his abilities as a theologian, mathematician, geographer, antiquary, historian and poet. The Cronica dei Matematici (published at Urbino in 1707) is an abridgment of a larger
work
 , on which he had bestowed twelve years of labour, and which was intended to contain the lives of more than two hundred mathematicians. His
life
  has been written by Affd, Mazzuchelli and others.
