CALASIO, MARIO DI (1550-1620)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 968 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
CALASIO, MARIO DI (1550-1620) , Italian Minorite friar, was born at a small town in the Abruzzi whence he took his name. Joining the
Franciscans
  at an early age, he devoted himself to Oriental languages and became an authority on Hebrew. Coming to Rome he was appointed by Paul V., whose confessor he was, to the chair of Scripture at Ara Coeli, where he died on the 1st of
February
  1620. Calasio is known by his Concordantiae sacrorum Bibliorum hebraicorum, published in 4 vols. (Rome, 1622), two. years after his death, a
work
  which is based on Nathan's Hebrew Concordance (Venice, 1523). For
forty
  years Calasio laboured on this
work
 , and he secured the assistance of the greatest scholars of his age. The Concordance evinces
great
  care and accuracy. All root-words are treated in alphabetical order and the whole Bible has been collated for every passage containing the word, so as to explain the
original
 
idea
 , which is illustrated from the cognate usages of the Chaldee, Syrian, Rabbinical Hebrew and Arabic. Calasio gives under each Hebrew word the literal Latin
translation
 , and notes any existing differences from the
Vulgate
  and
Septuagint
  readings. An incomplete English
translation
  of the work was published in London by Romaine in 1747. Calasio also wrote a Hebrew grammar, Canones generales linguae sanctatae (Rome, 1616), and the Dictionarium hebraicum (Rome, 1617).
