Francesco Nazzari

[3] His associates, Ricci, Johannes Lucius, Salvatore and Francesco Serra, Tommaso de' Giuli, Giovanni Pastrizio, and Giovanni Ciampini, agreed to furnish him with extracts from works in foreign languages.

[5] He issued this journal, entitled Giornale de' Letterati, until the month of March 1675, from the office of Tinassi; but forced, in consequence of a difference with the latter, to yield his duties to Ciampini, he formed a new society, and published, under the same title, a continuation, which was printed at the office of Carrara until the end of 1679.

[6] After having been attached as secretary to Johannes Lucius, a Dalmatian savant, he accompanied, in 1686, the geometrician Adrien Auzout to France, and it is said was very useful to him in the observation of eclipses and celestial revolutions.

[6] By his will he left his wealth and his library to the Church of Bergamo, and founded at Rome a college for the scholars of his province.

[6] Besides the journal that he has edited, and which has been reprinted at Bologna, with additions, we owe to Nazzari an Italian version of the Exposition de la doctrine de l'Église catholique, by Bossuet (Rome, 1678), and an edition of Diomede Borghesi's Lettere discorsive (Rome, 1701).
