SCALABRINI, GIUSEPPE ANTENORE. - Priest, b. in Ferrara on 13 March 1698, d. there on 5 April 1777.
A priest in 1724, he was appointed parish priest of S. Maria delle Bocche, where he remained until his death; he was a canon and lecturer in Sacred Scripture at the university of his native city, where he took his degree in theology. His scholarly activity begins in 1726 with his correspondence with Muratori. For more than half a century he transcribed ancient Ferrarese documents, largely transmitted to Muratori for the Rerum Italicarum Scriptores. He also compiled on his own account several Memorie sacre e profane della S. Chiesa di Ferrara, and in particular of the cathedral; he likewise wrote various illustrative notes collected in the Memorie istoriche delle chiese di Ferrara. Altogether he wrote more than 50 works, 15,000 sheets. Muratori addressed 170 letters to him, whereas only 71 of Scalabrini's letters to Muratori are known. The Bollandists in the Acta Sanctorum remember him as carissimus noster.
