Bartolomeo Beverini (3 May 1629 – 24 October 1686) was an Italian classical scholar, historian and poet.

Biography

Beverini was born at Lucca on 3 May 1629. He is said to have been a finished scholar at fifteen; and at Rome, in his sixteenth year, he joined the Order of the Mother of God, taking vows in 1647. He taught theology in Rome, and later, rhetoric at the Collegio di S. Maria Corteorladini of Lucca. His numerous works are listed by Mazzuchelli. Among them is a vernacular translation of the Æneid, originally the fruit of only thirteen months' application, but subsequently corrected with care. It first appeared at Lucca in 1680, and has been reprinted several times; the last edition is that of Rome, 1700. The Latin poems of Beverini were published at Lucca in 1674: Carminum libri septem. Beverini's chief claim, however, upon the notice of general scholars, is founded upon a learned posthumous work, first published at Lucca in 1711, and often reprinted in collections, entitled, Syntagma de Ponderibus et Mensuris, in quo veterum Nummorum Pretium, ac Mensurarum Quantitas demonstratur. This is followed by a treatise on the Comitia of the Romans. Beverini was one of the chief correspondents of Francesco Redi.
