Ferreti, John Baptist
, of Vincenza, was a Benedictine monk, and eminent as an antiquary. In 1672 he
published, at Verona, his “Musae Lapidariae,” in folio,
which is a colledlion, though by no means complete or
correct, of the verses found inscribed on ancient monuments. Burman the younger, in his preface to the “Anthologia Latino,” seems to confound this Ferreti with him
who flourished in the fourteenth century, speaking of his
history of his own times. The exact periods of this author’s birth and death are not known. 2
