GIRALDI, UBALDO di San Gaetano. - Scolopian, canonist. Born in Rome in 1692 and died there in 1775.
He served as general assistant of his Congregation and apostolic examiner of the Roman clergy. Devoted to the study of canon law, he prepared a new edition of the *Institutiones canonicae* by his confrere Remigio Maschat of S. TERAMO (v.), adding and updating material (Ferrara 1760). Shortly thereafter he published the *Expositio iuris pontificii iuxta recentiorem Ecclesiae disciplinam* (Rome 1769), in which he presented, with brief commentary, parts of the *Corpus Iuris Canonici*, along with summaries of the Council of Trent and the apostolic constitutions. Another important work of his is the *Adiunctoriae et additamenta ex posterioribus Summorum Pontificum constitutionibus et S. Congregationum decretis desumpta ad Augustinum Barbosa de officio et potestate parochi* (ibid. 1773).
