Giuseppe Ciantes, O.P. (1602–1670) was a Roman Catholic prelate, hebraist and theologian[1] who served as Bishop of Marsico Nuovo (1640–1656).[2]

Biography[]

Giuseppe Ciantes was born in Rome, Italy in 1602 and ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers.[3] He devoted himself to the study of Oriental languages, and had the opportunity of applying his knowledge of Hebrew for the conversion of the Jews, to whom Urban VIII had appointed him preacher in Rome. On 5 March 1640, he was appointed Bishop of Marsico Nuovo in the Kingdom of Naples.[2][3] On 19 March 1640, he was consecrated bishop by Marcantonio Franciotti, Bishop of Lucca, with Lelio Falconieri, Titular Archbishop of Thebae, and Giovanni Battista Altieri (seniore), Bishop Emeritus of Camerino, serving as co-consecrators.[3] He distinguished himself by the good example which he set in his diocese. In January 1656 he resigned the episcopal functions to retire to the convent of Minerva, where he died on 24 February 1670.[2][3]
