Lorenzo Alessandro Zaccagni (1652 -1712) was an Italian librarian and Patristic scholar and author. His main contribution is a collection of texts relating to early controversies in Christianity, ''Collectanea monumentorum veterum Ecclesiæ græcæ et latinæ'',〔(''Collectanea monumentorum veterum Ecclesiæ græcæ et latinæ'' ), by Lorenzo Alessandro Zaccagni, Rome (1698).〕 published by the Vatican in 1698 with the approval of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide. ==Biography== Born in Rome to Florentine family. He studied classics and became a scholar of Greek and Latin in Rome. He came in the patronage first of Cardinal Girolamo Casanatta and then of Cardinal Henry Noris.〔(Notizie istoriche degli Arcadi morti. Tomo secondo ) by Giovanni Mario Crescimbeni, (1720), page 49-50.〕 Cardinal Casanate had been named Bibliotecario di Santa Romana Chiesa (Librarian of the Vatican), had directed various congregations for the Pope, including the Offices of the Inquisition. Henry Noris was made assistant Librarian in the Vatican by Pope Innocent XII. In 1700, on the death of Cardinal Casanate, he was given full charge of the Vatican Library. Both fostered the work of Zaccagni, which would have been previously considered suspect because it elucidated works discussing heresy. As Prefect of the Vatican Library, Zaccagni had access to a copy of the ''Atti di Archelao'' by Hegemonius found at Monte Cassino with a version in Vatican,〔(Raccolta di dissertazioni di storia ecclesiastica in italiano o scritte ), by Francesco Antonio Zaccaria, pages 216-217.〕 as well as to the works of Euthalius. Such documents were among those included in his ''Collectanea''. Zaccagni was buried in the church of San Giovanni Decollato and his inscription on the pavement stated that he was a man of honorable parts and practice, his books were celebrated by both Italians and foreigners, and had raised the scholarship of the Papal states.〔Crescimbeni, page 53:''Patria Romano Florentia oriundo/ Bibliotheca Vatican Praefecto/ Viro et Partis et neglectis honoribus/ Librisque qua editis qua paratis/ Apud italas Gentes et exteras quoque celeberrimo/ qui insperato sublatus/ Tunc/ Cum maiora Litteratorum Reipublice promitteret/ et a summis Pontificibus expectoret/ Hic se humandum jussit/'' 〕 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「Lorenzo Alessandro Zaccagni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
