BARANZANO, REDENTO GIOVANNI ANTONIO. - Barnabite philosopher and scientist, b. at Serravalle Sesia (Biella) in 1590, and d. at Montargis (Loiret) on 23 Dec. 1622. He distinguished himself as a professor in the chair of philosophy at Annecy and was one of the first who fought the omnipotence of Aristotle, attempting to demonstrate the falsity of certain of his theories until then held as indisputable in the schools. He corresponded with Fr. Niceron, with Bacon, who first communicated to him his theory of the Novum Organum, with La Motte Le Vayer, who held him in great esteem, etc. He left writings and pamphlets of a philosophical-mathematical character.
