ANGELO, of the ancient and noble GIUSTINIANI family, born on the Island of Chios, a learned man and celebrated preacher, was most dear to the most Serene Dukes of Savoy and was among their closest advisors. Sixtus of Siena mentions him with praise under the entry Cyril of Alexandria and the entry Greek Chain, and Uberto Foglieta makes distinguished mention of him in his eulogies of famous Ligurian men. Sent to France by Pius IV during most turbulent times, he most fiercely defended the rights of the Church and the Christian Religion before the King and the Princes of the realm for a year and more, as Paul V testifies in his letters given in the year 1606, on the 10th day before the Kalends of December. After his return from France, Pius V conferred upon him the Bishopric of Geneva in the year 1569, on the 13th of October; which he resigned into the hands of Gregory XIII on the 15th of December, 1578. He possessed a library furnished with the best books, especially Greek ones. I have more than once heard Orazio Giustiniani, today a most worthy and learned Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, boasting that he had such and so great a man as his paternal uncle. Furthermore, Angelo learnedly wrote:
Commentaries on several chapters of John.
Very many Sermons.
