Azzi, Orazio (Ignazio) degli

Italian original Cite

AZZI, ORAZIO (IGNAZIO) degli. - Franciscan exegete, b. in Parma on 27 April 1673, d. on 11 November 1757. Within the Order he was a lecturer in theology and a definitor; he was dear to the pontiffs Clement XII and Benedict XIV, to whom he dedicated his various commentaries on Holy Scripture, especially on Genesis (1707), the Psalms, and the Canticle.

His major work is Esposizioni letterali e morali sopra la S. Scrittura (13 vols., in 4to, Venice 1736-1746). His style was censured for its prolixity; he endeavored, however, to correct it. Around 1740 he was enrolled in the Albrizzian Literary Society of Venice.
