JUSTINIANI (Augustin), bishop of Nebo, one of the most learned men of his time, was descended from a branch of the same noble family with the two foregoing; and was born at Genoa in 1480. He assisted at the fifth council of Lateran, where he opposed some articles of the concordat between France and the court of Rome. Francis I. of France made him his almoner; and he was for five years regius professor of Hebrew at Paris. He returned to Genoa in 1522, where he discharged all the duties of a good prelate; and learning and piety flourished in his diocese. He perished at sea in his passage from Genoa to Nebbio, in 1536. He composed several pieces; the most considerable of which is, Psalterium Hebreum, Græcum, Arabicum, et Chaldaicum, cum tribus Latinis interpretationibus et glossis. This was the first psalter of the kind printed; and there is also ascribed to the same prelate a translation of Maimonides's More Nevechim.
