Italian original Cite

HYACINTH (BRUGIOTTI) OF VETRALLA. - Capuchin missionary of the Roman province, b. at Vetralla on 23 Jan. 1601; at the age of 24 he entered the Order; preacher, provincial definitor, prefect of the mission in the Congo from 1651 to 1657, d. at Rome on 29 Aug. 1659.

He drew up various reports rich in data on the regions, the kingdoms and the mission of the Congo (cf. Analecta Ord. Min. Capuccinorum, 13 [1807], pp. 89-96), which served as documentation for his fellow missionary G. A. Cavazzi (v.). Before setting out for the mission he compiled a Doctrina christiana ad profectum missionis totius regni Congi in quattuor linguas per correlativas columnas distincta (Rome 1650), with the Congolese, Portuguese, Latin and Italian text, and some rules of pronunciation. After his return home he published: Regulae quaedam pro difficillimi Congensium idiomatis faciliori captu ad grammaticae normam redactae (ibid. 1659), which were translated into English by H. Grattan Guinness (London 1882).
