ALEGAMBE, PHILIPPE. - Born in Brussels on 22 January 1592, died in Rome on 6 September 1652. After completing his studies he went to Spain, then to Sicily as page to the viceroy Duke of Osuna. There in 1613 he became a Jesuit; he was professor of philosophy and theology at Graz; then he accompanied the young Prince of Eggenberg, whose tutor he was, throughout Europe, and spent the last years of his life in Rome.
He compiled a Bibliotheca of Jesuit writers from 1608 to 1642, as a continuation of Ribadeneira's catalogue, published at Antwerp in 1643; Mortes illustres et gesta of Jesuits who died for the faith, etc. (Rome 1657); Heroes et Victimae charitatis Soc.
