Ilario Cao (''Hilarius Caius'') was a Sardinian ecclesiastic active in Rome during the first thirty years of the eleventh century, often retrospectively called a Cardinal. He was born in Cagliari. He urged Pope Benedict VIII to organise an expedition to free his native land from Muslim pirates, who were establishing themselves in the south of the island, based out of Cagliari. A Pisan–Genoese expedition (1016) resulted, which expelled the Muslims. Ilario had two sons: Costantino (Constantinus) and Atanagio or Anastasio (Anastasius). The former built a hospital in Trastevere for poor Sardinians, which was destroyed in the later sack of Rome (1527). In 1068 Anastasio's son Benedetto erected a tombstone in the church of San Crisogono over his father's sepulchre bearing this inscription: HIC SEPULTVS EST CONSTANTINVS CAO CALARITANVS CVM HILARO PATRE ET ANASTASIO FRATRE QVI HOSPITALE PRO SARDINIAE PAVPERIBVS FVNDAVIT CVI AEDES ATTRIBVIT ET CENSVS APPLICVIT HILARI PRECIBVS SARDINIAM A SARACENIS PAPA LIBERARI CVRAVIT ANASTASIVS FVIT LITTERARVM PERITISSIMVS PONTIFICIBVS CARVS ET PIETATE CLARVS BENEDICTVS CAIVS ANASTASII FILIVS POSVIT MLXVII〔"Here is buried / Costantino Cao the Cagliaritan / with () father Ilario and () brother Anastasio, / who a hospital for the poor of Sardinia / founded, / who assigned (it ) buildings and attached (it ) gifts. / By the prayers of Ilario, Sardinia / from the Saracens / the Pope undertook to liberate. / Anastasio was the most skillful in letters, / dear to priests (? ) and famous in piety. / Benedetto Cao, son of Anastasio, / placed (inscription in the year ) 1067."〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilario Cao」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
