BARNABA di SAN CARLO. - Discalced Carmelite, born Francesco Bertarelli, b. at Melegnano (Milan), professed at Milan in 1627, and in 1641 was sent as a missionary to the East; there, dwelling for the most part in Basra (Mesopotamia), he occupied himself with the conversion of the Mandaeans (called "Christians of St. John the Baptist"). He was one of the missionaries who best knew the conditions of the East, as appears from his numerous letters. D. at the station of Štráz (Persia) on 1 October 1667.
