Jeremiah Benettis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeremiah Benettis (? - 1774) was an Italian writer and Friar Minor Capuchin.
He belonged to the Province of Piedmont in Italy, and wrote two valuable historical treatises. The first, entitled Chronica et critics historiæ sacrse et profanæ, deals with various astronomical questions and the religious rites and ceremonies of ancient peoples, and was written with a view to facilitate the study of Sacred Scripture. In the second work, entitled LPrivilegiorum S. Petri vindicia, he gives a history of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff.
