Italian Syriac scholar. An outstanding Semitic scholar, he devoted to Syriac literature only a lesser part of his activity, mainly at the beginning of his career (1910–21) and again later, after having been deprived of his chair at the University of Rome because of his opposiiton to fascism, when he was employed as a consultant for Oriental mss. at the Vatican Library (1931–39), under the patronage of its learned Prefetto, the future Cardinal Eugène Tisserant.
