- DE' ROSSI, GIOVANNI BERNARDO°
- DE' ROSSI, GIOVANNI BERNARDO° (1742–1831), Italian Christian
Hebraist. De' Rossi was born in Villa Castelnuovo, Turin. He became a
priest in 1766 and graduated in theology in Turin. He had a profound
knowledge of Hebrew language and medieval Jewish literature, and held
the chair of Oriental languages at Parma University from 1769 to 1821.
De' Rossi's library of Jewish literature, one of the most valuable that
has ever been brought together, comprised 1,432 manuscripts (some
illuminated), and 1,442 printed books including many incunabula, some
unique. It was purchased for 100,000 francs in 1816 by Marie Louise,
duchess of Parma, who presented it to the Palatine library at Parma,
where it still is. De' Rossi compiled a catalogue of his collection
(MSS. codices hebraici bibliothecae I.B. De' Rossi, accurate ab
eodem descripti et illustrati, 3 vols., Parma, 1803), and wrote
valuable works on Jewish incunabula (Annales hebraeo-typographici
saeculi XV, Parma, 1795) and
16th-century typography (Annales hebraeotypographici ab
anno 1501 ad 1540, Parma, 1799) as well as on other subjects of
Jewish interest, including studies of variant biblical texts and
polemical literature. His Dizionario storico degli autori ebrei e
delle loro opere (2 vols., Parma, 1802; Ger. ed. Leipzig, 1839) is
still of value, especially for the biographical notes on contemporary
Jewish scholars.
