Baldassarre Bonifacio (5 January 1585 – 17 November 1659) was an Italian Catholic bishop, theologian, scholar and historian, known for his work Шаблон:Lang (1632), the first known treatise on the management of archives.[1]

Biography

Baldassare Bonifacio was born at Crema, in the Republic of Venice, on January 5, 1586, the son of Bonifacio Bonifacio, celebrated jurist and assessor, and of Paola Corniani, the daughter of Giovanni Francesco Corniani, likewise jurist and assessor.Шаблон:Sfn He studied humanities at Rovigo under the supervision of Antonio Riccoboni and graduated in law at the University of Padua at the age of eighteen.Шаблон:Sfn About two years later he was appointed professor of law at the college of Rovigo, where he lectured on the Institutes of Justinian.Шаблон:Sfn

Sometime within the next five years, Bonifacio accompanied Count Girolamo di Porzia, bishop of Adria and papal nuncio, to Germany as a private secretary.Шаблон:Sfn Upon his return to the Republic of Venice he was made archpriest of Rovigo. In 1619 Bonifacio was nominated as professor of classics at the University of Padua but turned down the position.Шаблон:Sfn

In the next year the Venetian Senate offered him the position of professor of civil law at the Academy of Nobles in Venice.[2] At the time of his acceptance he was in Rome. Before his return Pope Urban VIII, upon the recommendation of the Venetian Senate, named him to the bishopric of Hierapetra and Sitia on the Greek island of Crete. Bonifacio declined the post for health and safety concerns. As partial compensation, the pope appointed him archdeacon of Treviso, in which office he served four successive bishops (Francesco Giustiniani, Vincenzo Giustiniani, Silvestro Morosini and Marco Morosini).Шаблон:Sfn

In 1636, the Republic of Venice created a new college for the sons of the nobility at Padua. By public decree, it named Bonifacio dean, at a generous stipend, of the new institution which was formally opened in 1637. He directed the college for only a short time, after which he was succeeded by the Milanese scholar Francesco Bernardino Ferrari.Шаблон:Sfn Shortly afterwards he founded the Accademia dei Solleciti in Treviso.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1653, he was appointed bishop of Koper, a position he held until his death. He died on 17 November 1659, aged 75, and was buried in his cathedral church, close by the altar of the Epiphany (which he had privately contributed).Шаблон:Sfn Bonifacio was an erudite and prolific author (scribacissimus homo, according to Morhof, Polyhistor, 1732, p. 1070). He is best known by his Historia Ludicra, a collection of miscellaneous notes on a vast variety of subjects originally published in Venice in 1652. The first edition of the work had no index or table, and its contents were consequently almost inaccessible. Jean Mommart supplied this want in his edition of 1656, to which he has prefixed a full table and added a copious index. Bonifacio published also a collection of Latin poems (1619) and an essay on ancient Roman historiography, De Romanæ Historiae Scriptoribus excerpta ex Bodino Vossio et aliis, Venice, 1627. A list of his works is given at the end of the second edition of the Historia Ludrica (Bruxelles, 1656).

Throughout his life Bonifacio maintained friendly relationships with numerous intellectuals of his day and was a member of several academies (Umoristi, Incogniti, Olimpici, Filarmonici).Шаблон:Sfn He was a close friend of the learned Augustinian monk Angelico Aprosio.Шаблон:Sfn Bonifacio was a regular attendee of Sara Copia Sullam's literary salon.[3] Despite having been her friend and protector, in 1621 Bonifacio published the philosophical pamphlet Dell'Immortalità dell'anima, a frontal attack on Sara, whom he repeatedly accused of denying the immortality of the soul.[3] Sara answered this attack with a Manifesto published the same year, in which she defended herself from Bonifacio's accusation.[4]
