Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TIRABOSCHI, GIROLAMO (17311794) , the first historian of Italian literature, was born at Bergamo on the 18th of December 1731. He studied at the Jesuit college at Monza, entered the order, and was appointed in 1755 professor of eloquence in the university of
Milan
 . Here he produced (17661768) Vetera humiliatorum monumenta (3 vols.), a history of the
extinct
  order of the
Humiliati
 , which made his literary reputation. Nominated in 1770 librarian to Francis III., duke of Modena, he turned to account the copious materials there accumulated forthe composition of his Storia della letteratura ilaliana. This vast
work
 , in which Italian literature from the time of the Etruscans to the end of the 17th
century
  is traced in detail, occupied eleven years, 17711782, and the thirteen quarto volumes embodying it appeared successively at Modena during that period. A second enlarged edition (16 vols.) was issued from 1787 to 1794, and was succeeded by many others, besides abridgments in German, French and
English
 . Tiraboschi died at Modena on the 3rd of June 1794, leaving a high reputation for virtue, learning and piety.
Tiraboschi wrote besides Biblioteca modenese (6 vols., 17811786) ; Notizie de' pittori, scultori, incisori, ed architetti modenesi (1786) ; Memorie storiche modenesi (5 vols., 1793-1794), and many
minor
  works. He edited the Nuovo giornale dei letterati d'Italia (17731790), and left materials for a
work
  of
great
  research entitled Dizionario topografico-storico degli stati estensi (2 vols. 4to, Modena, 18241825),
