CUNICH, RAIMONDO. - Jesuit, b. at Ragusa on 17 Jan. 1719, d. at Rome on 22 Nov. 1794; member of the Academy of Arcadia; he taught rhetoric at the Roman College (1768-73).

He earned praise for his Latin poems, partly collected in posthumous editions: Epigrammatum libri V (Parma 1803); Epigrammata nunc primum edita (Ragusa 1897). Especially esteemed were his elegant translations of Greek classics into Latin verse: Anthologia, sive Epigrammata anthologiae Graecorum selecta (Rome 1771); Homeri Ilias versibus expressa (ibid. 1776).
