**LAMPREDI, Urbano.** – Scholar, born in Florence on 13 February 1761, entered the Society in 1778, died in Naples on 23 February 1838. A foremost Hellenist, a poet rivaling Monti and the literati of his age, he also distinguished himself in philosophy and in the mathematical and physical sciences.
He held teaching posts with honor in various colleges of the Order; but during the Napoleonic upheavals he was swept along by the spirit of innovation and undertook long journeys to several countries. His translations of several Greek authors, especially the *Odyssey* and large portions of the *Iliad*, were admired by scholars. Notable too were the critical essays he wrote for the *Poligrafo*, of which he was one of the principal editors, as well as his literary polemics.
