This article appears in Volume V03, Page 719 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENEDICT XIII . (Piero Francesco
Orsini
 ),
pope
  from 1724 to 1730, at first styled Benedict XIV., was born on the 2nd of
February
  1649, of the ducal family of
Orsini
 -Gravina. In 1667 he became a Dominican (as Vincentius Maria), studied theology and philosophy, was made a cardinal in 1672 and arch-
bishop
  of
Benevento
  in 1686. Elected
pope
  on the 29th of May 1724, he attempted to reform clerical morals; but neither the decrees of the Latin council (1725) nor his personal precepts had much effect. He confirmed the
bull
  Unigenitus; but, despite the
Jesuits
 , allowed the
Dominicans
  to preach the Augustinian
doctrine
  of grace. State affairs he left entirely to the unpopular Cardinal Nicolo Coscia. He died on the 21st of
February
  1730. His works were published in 3 vols. at Ravenna in 1728.
