Navagero, Bernardo, an Italian cardinal, was born at Venice in 1507. He was called to the most important positions of trust in the gift of the republic, being succes- sively sent from home as ambassador to Dalraatia, Con- stantinople, France, Home, and the court of the emperor. The doge, Pierre Lando, sought his alliance, and caused him to marry Istriana Lando, his granddaughter, who died some years after her marriage with Bernardo. The latter sought consolation in study and religion, and chose the ecclesiastical career. Pope Pius IV, judging that the place of a man so distinguished was in the sacred college, created him cardinal Feb. 26, 1561, and gave him the bishopric of Verona. He was afterwards sent as legate to Trent, where he assisted at the clos- ing of the council. He died at Verona May 27, 1565. We have by this cardinal Addresses, and the Life of Pope Paul I F. Augustin Valerio has given the life of Bernardo Navagero in his book entitled Be cautiom ad- hibenda in edendis libris (Padua, 1719, 4to, p. 61-98).

and strongly protested before the authorities against the Jesuitical accommodation theory as tending to delay the Christianizing of China. That his honesty and piety were appreciated is apparent in his appointment to the see of Santo Domingo in 1678. He died in Santo Do- mingo in Dec, 1689. He wrote Tratados historicos jw- liticos, ethicos, y religiosos de la monarquia de China (Madrid, 1676, fol.) ; the second volume was suppressed by the Inquisition, and the third never printed. The volume published contains an excellent account of the political and religious condition of the Chinese in his times. See Churchill, Collection of Voyages and Trav- els. (J. H. W.)
