Girolamo Bardi (Author)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girolamo Bardi , also Hieronymus Bardus (born August 28, 1544 in Florence , † March 28, 1594 in Venice ) was a Florentine Camaldolese who left the order to later become a priest in Venice. He wrote a number of works, such as a four-volume universal story , but also individual contributions to the Roman-German emperors, an eulogy for Cosimo I de 'Medici , a calendar of saints and the “remarkable things about the city of Venice”.

Girolamo Bardi, about whose life very little is known, came from an influential noble family living in Florence. He entered the Camaldolese order in the monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in his native town, which has been one of the centers of humanism since the second half of the 15th century . Bardi earned a high reputation as a scholar there.

He published almost all of his works under his own name without naming his order, which may have contributed to his resignation from the order. After leaving, he moved to Venice, where he worked as a secular cleric until he was appointed head of the San Samuele parish in 1548 . On February 8, 1593 he was elected a priest. He was buried in his parish church a year later after his death. A planned 16-volume universal historical script has not been preserved. Bardi continued the Chronicon, seu emendatio temporum of Johannes Lucidus Samotheus , which lasted until 1535, until 1575.
