Odorico Raynaldi or Rinaldi (Latin: Odericus Raynaldus; 20 June 1594 – 22 January 1671),[1] also known as Raynald, was an Italian historian and Oratorian.
Raynaldi was born at Treviso of a patrician family and studied at Parma and Padua.
He joined the Oratorians in Rome, where he was twice elected superior-general of his congregation.
He was offered the direction of the Vatican library by Innocent X, but declined the position.
Raynaldi's major work was the continuation of the Annales Ecclesiastici of Baronius, extending it from 1198 to 1565 and including reproductions of numerous original documents.
