Ambrogio del Giudice

After being ordained fray of the Dominican Order in Altamura's Dominican monastery (most likely, "Convento di San Rocco") and completing all the degrees of study available in his hometown, in 1647 he was appointed Master of the "Capitolo generale" of the Kingdom of Valencia.

[1][2] He was also appointed regent of Saint Dominic in the city of Andria.

[1][2] He is best known for his work Bibliotechae Dominicanae (1677), a kind of historical compendium of prominent personalities from the Middle Ages until the 17th century, among which many were personalities somehow related to the Dominican Order.

Despite his notoriety, the above authors Quétif and Echard also noted some inaccuracies and mistakes in Ambrogio del Giudice's work.

[1][2] He also wrote other works, some of which have survived and are stored in a few Italian libraries.
