LUCANIA - The convent of Montescaglioso rebuilt by Carlo II d'Angiò in 1484.
a considerably revised edition of the Bible of J. Henten.
L. also collaborated on the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate; he then continued his work, not hesitating to bring to light the defects of the pontifical edition. In 1606 he published variant readings on the Gospels, and in 1617 a new collection of variants, extending to the entire Bible: Libellus alter continens alias lectionum variantes (Antwerp 1617; reproduced in J.-P. Migne, S. Scripturae cursus completus, XXVIII, Paris 1840, pp. 599-620). The Sixto-Clementine Bible of 1592 was therefore not regarded by L. as a perfect work, and he corrected it in his own Plantin edition of 1603. In Rome, however, it was thought that there was no need to proceed with a new “authentic” edition after those issued in 1592, 1593, and 1598.
Arias Montano (v.), L. was his collaborator on the Antwerp Polyglot Bible. The Concordantiae Scripturarum (1617) are likewise due to him. L.’s complete works were published in a second, posthumous edition, edited by Von Velden, at Antwerp in 1712.
