VOGEL, JOSEPH ANTON. - Historian, b. 25 March 1756 at Altkirch (Alsace, diocese of Basel), d. 26 Aug. 1817 at Loreto.
Ordained a priest in 1780, he was parish priest of the village of Obermorschweiler. After the outbreak of the French Revolution he refused to take the oath of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, for which reason he was thrown into prison and then exiled. Having taken refuge first, in 1792, in Switzerland, two years later he fled to the Papal States and took up residence at Fermo. There he devoted himself to historical studies and contributed to the Antichità Picene published by Colucci with a work entitled Memorie storiche dell'Abbadia di Farfa.
He was subsequently called to reorganize the Archives of Matelica and of Cingoli and had occasion to study the papers of various libraries and archives of the region. Called in 1802 to Recanati by Msgr. Felice Paoli, bishop of Recanati and Loreto, he began the drafting of a history of the two bishoprics which was published several decades after his death, in 1859 (De Ecclesiis Recanatensi et Lauretana earumque episcopis commentarius historicus, 2 vols., Recanati 1859). After the death of Bishop Paoli, he was greatly esteemed also by the latter's successor, Msgr. S. Bellini, who appointed him in 1809 canon of the cathedral of Recanati and in 1814 of that of Loreto.
