Ippolito Grassetti
Ippolito Grassetti (* 1603 in Modena , † January 12, 1663 in Piacenza ) was an Italian Jesuit .
Life
Ippolito Grassetti entered the Jesuit order in 1619 and, after taking his vows, devoted himself to teaching. He taught rhetoric first and then moral theology for six years , which was very popular. Most recently he was rector of the Jesuit college in Piacenza and a confessor who was sought after by high-ranking personalities , who was very talented in gently preparing the dying for death. He died in Piacenza in 1663 at the age of 63.
His work on treacherous manslaughter ( Anatome necis proditoriae, continens accuratam inspectionem eorum omnium, quae ad homicidii proditoriii fabricam spectant , 1660) met with approval not only from the canons but also from the criminalists. He also left behind a collection of canon law decisions and finished treatises on miracles , human actions, faith, love and hope, and contracts; but these writings remained unprinted. He also tried his hand at being a poet and he was particularly successful with the epigram , as evidenced by the attempts he published in this genre of poetry ( Epigrammatum liber primus , Piacenza 1660).
