LUCARIAE. - In the oldest Roman festival calendar, two days separated by the shortest possible interval (July 19 and 21) appear under the name L. Nothing is known of the divinity to whom the double festival was dedicated, nor of the rite celebrated; only the place of the celebration is known: a lucus (sacred grove) between the Via Salaria and the Tiber. The legendThe aetiological explanation connected the festival with the Gallic invasion (but the festival is older): the survivors of the battle of the Allia were said to have taken refuge in that grove (18 July is the dies Alliensis). Immediately after the Lucaria come the Neptunalia.

Angelo Brelich
considerably revised edition of J. Henten's Bible.
L. also collaborated on the Sixtine edition of the Vulgate; then he 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, which extended 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 considered a perfect work by L., who corrected it in his own Plantin edition of 1603. Nevertheless, in Rome it was thought that there was no need to proceed to a new "authentic" edition after those that had appeared in 1592, 1593, 1598.
A disciple of Arias Montano (v.), L. was his collaborator for the polyglot Bible of Antwerp. The Concordantiae Scripturarum (1617) are also owed to him. L.'s complete works were published in a 2nd, posthumous edition, edited by Von Velden, at Antwerp in 1712.
