ARNOLDI, GIOVANNI. - Jesuit, b. at Warburg (Westphalia) on 24 June 1596, d. a martyr at Verden on 4 Nov. 1631. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1617; ordained a priest, he worked for some years at Emmerich and at Bocholt; from 1627 onward he was assigned to the missions in the regions disputed between Catholics and Protestants, at Falkenhagen and at Quackenburg, amid no few dangers. When in 1629 the diocese of Verden was recovered by the Catholics, A. was called there and had charge of three parishes. However, the landing in Germany of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden (1630) made this advanced position practically untenable. Attacked and killed near Verden by fanatical peasants, A. was regarded as a martyr.
