DAPRÀ, AGAPITO. - Franciscan Orientalist, b. May 22, 1653 at Tesoro (Val di Fiemme, Trento), d. in Nov. 1687 at Padua. In 1680 he was in Rome at the missionary college of S. Pietro in Montorio to learn Arabic. It is not known whether he was ever a missionary in Egypt.

Professor of Arabic at the episcopal seminary of Padua from 1682 until his death, he published an Arabic grammar Flores grammaticales arabici idiomatis... (Padua 1687), which, being very useful to missionaries, was reprinted by Propaganda. In part 2, of 70 pp., it has Rudimenta grammaticae Persicae.
