Castiglione

Castiglione, CARLO OTTAVIO, COUNT, Italian scholar, was born at Milan in 1784, and died at Genoa, 10th April 1849. His magnum opus, published in 1826, is a work in which he seeks to ascertain the origin and the history of the towns in Barbary whose names are found on Arabic coins. Out of Italy, however, he is best known by his edition of some fragments of the Mæso-Gothic translation of the Bible by Ulfilas (q.v.), which had been discovered in 1817 by Cardinal Mai among the palimpsests of the Ambrosian Library. See his Life by Biondelli (1856).
