Jeremiah Benettis

Jeremiah Benettis

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.
