| Abstract: | Carolo Benvenuti (1716–97) was a Jesuit scholar, a professor of mathematics, physics, metaphysics, and liturgy at the Collegio Romano, who published a series of monographs dealing primarily with mathematics and physics. He was a student of the prolific polymath Ruđer Bošković (1711–81) who also thought mathematics at the Collegio from 1740 to 1750 and again from 1752 to 1760. In 1751/2, when Bošković was involved in measuring the Rome-Rimini median, Benvenuti lectured mathematics in his place. In 1751 too, Benvenuti published his Italian translation of Clairaut’s textbook, Elementi di Geometria, perhaps for the benefit of his students. [excerpt] |
