Content and context

Gaetano Luigi Marini (1742-1815), scholar, was born at Santarcángelo di Romagna, Italy. He received training in the law, before settling in Rome, and becoming prefect of the Vatican's archives and the director of its Lapidary Galley. Marini removed to Paris following the seizure of the archives by Napoleon, and died there in 1815. His scholarly works cover natural philosophy, archaeology and history, and include a renowned work on papyrus.

Robert Charles Jenkins (1816-1896), theological writer, matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1837 (B.A., 1841; M.A., 1844). He was ordained deacon in 1841, and priest in 1842. Jenkins was curate of Willesden, Middlesex, 1841-1843, perpetual curate of Christ Church, Turnham Green, 1843-1854, and rector and vicar of Lyminge with Paddlesworth, Kent, 1854-1896. He died at Lyminge rectory on 26 March 1896.
