This article appears in Volume V03, Page 750 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENTIVOGLIO, GUIDO (1579-1644) , Italian cardinal, states-man and historian, was born at Ferrara in 1579. After studying at Padua, he went to reside at Rome, and was received with
great
  favour by
Pope
  Clement VIII., who made him his private chamberlain. The next
pope
 , Paul V., created him archbishop of Rhodes in 1607, and appointed him as nuncio to Flanders and afterwards to France; on his return to Rome in 1621 he was created cardinal and entrusted by Louis XIII. with the management of French affairs at the papal court. He became the intimate friend of Pope Urban VIII., who appointed him to the suburban see of Palestrina in 1691. An able writer and skilful diplomatist, Bentivoglio was marked out as Urban's successor, but he died suddenly on the 7th of September 1644 at the opening of the
conclave
 . Bentivoglio's principal works are: Della Guerra di Fiandria (best edition, Cologne, 1633-1639), translated into English by
Henry
 ,
earl
  of Monmouth (London, 1654); Relazioni di G. Bentivoglio in tempo delle sue Nunziature di Fiandria e di
Francia
  (Cologne, 163o); Lettere diplomatiche di Guido Bentivoglio (Brussels, 1631, frequently reprinted, best edition by L. Scarabelli, 2 vols., Turin, 1852). The complete edition of his works was published at Venice in 1668 in 4to. A selection of his letters has been adopted as a classic in the Italian schools.
