CANINI, ANGELO. - Distinguished Semitic scholar, b. at Anghiari, near Arezzo, in 1521, d. in Paris in 1557.

He taught, at least as an assistant, various Semitic languages at the Universities of Venice, Padua and Bologna. He traveled in Spain, whence he was called to Paris by Francis I for a chair. There he enjoyed the familiarity of distinguished persons, among them G. Duprat, bishop of Clermont. At only 36 years of age he left the following esteemed works: Institutiones linguarum Syriacae, Assyriacae et Thalmudicae, una cum Aethiopicae et Arabicae collatione, quibus addita est ad calcem Novi Testamenti multorum locorum historica enarratio (Paris 1554); Disquisitiones in loca aliquot Novi Testamenti obscuriora, in Critici Sacri, VIII (London 1660), p. 211; De locis S. Scripturae hebraicis commentaria (Antwerp 1600).
