TEMPESTI, CASIMIRO LIBORIO. - Historian and ascetical writer of the Conventual Friars Minor, b. in Florence toward the end of the 17th century, d. there in 1758.

He was secretary general of the Order (1749-50), guardian of S. Croce in Florence (1756) and then provincial of Tuscany until his death.

A renowned preacher and a very learned man, among his principal works he has: S. Bonaventura..., maestro esimio di spirito, ovvero mistica teologia secondo lo spirito e le sentenze del Santo (2 vols., Lucca 1746); Esercizi spirituali giusto il metodo e le dottrine di s. Bonaventura (2 vols., Venice 1756); various panegyrics. He left in manuscript dramatic and lyric poems, paraphrases of the Lamentations of Jeremiah and of the Penitential Psalms, and the Anno santificato di Maria (1758). However, his name is linked above all to the history of the life and deeds of Sixtus V (2 vols., Rome 1754, edited by his confrere Fr. L. A. Fenati; 2nd ed., ibid. 1866), largely exploited by A. de Hubner in his analogous Storia (ed. 1754, I, p. xvi).
