CERESETO, GIOVANNI GIACINTO. - Biblicist, b. in Genoa in 1840, d. there on 28 Dec. 1920. From 1875 to 1892 he taught Sacred Scripture and other subjects in the seminary of Chiavari. In 1892 he entered the Oratory of Genoa. In 1903 he was among the first appointed consultors of the Pontifical Biblical Commission (v.).

Of very vast culture, he wrote much, though in a form more polemical and verbose than scientific; in orientation he was conservative, but with a rather rigorist tendency. The principal works are: Istituzioni bibliche (6 vols., Chiavari 1890-1900); Stoppani e la cosmologia mosaica (ibid. 1893); Leone XIII e gli studi biblici (Genoa 1902); Ipotesi del p. Hummelauer sul Deuteronomio (ibid. 1904); Autenticità del Vangelo di s. Matteo (Rome 1911); Autenticità delle epistole pastorali di s. Paolo (Genoa 1911); Introductio gener. in sacros utriusque Test. libros, I, part 1 (ibid. 1913); Storicità dei primi tre capitoli della Genesi (ibid. 1914).
