New editions were published in 1820 by the bookseller-publisher Giovanni Battista Rolandi—a political exile who had settled in London—and, starting in 1821, as part of the polyglot editions published by Samuel Bagster. These early nineteenth-century editions of the Book of Common Prayer seem to have chiefly focused on the commercial success of a text with a large target audience of the English bound for Italy on the Grand Tour.","PeriodicalId":105704,"journal":{"name":"Making Italy Anglican","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128806422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A singular figure with a shifting and elusive identity, Amidei presented himself as a Catholic ecclesiastic converted to Protestantism on his arrival in England but in following years professed to be a Jew converted to Christianity. In the late 1660s, Amidei made a manuscript copy of an Italian translation of the Book of Common Prayer, posting as its author. Apart from this manuscript, all his other known works for which he claimed his authorship—published and unpublished—were not actually penned by him. So the possibility cannot be excluded that Amidei’s manuscript incorporates elements of someone else’s translation, possibly the one done by Bedell and Sarpi in 1608.","PeriodicalId":105704,"journal":{"name":"Making Italy Anglican","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127188759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significantly, unlike the other editors of the translations published in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Nott was a clergyman rather than a publisher or scholar. However, the reasons that prompted him to become the promoter of this edition, at least initially, were almost certainly more related to his personal situation than to a religious propaganda project; under fire for being absent from his parishes, Nott wanted to justify his long stay in Italy by publishing the Anglican liturgy in Italian. The publication of the “new” translation was therefore the combined result of his personal reasons and the growing missionary ambitions of the SPCK.","PeriodicalId":105704,"journal":{"name":"Making Italy Anglican","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122572160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sims was convinced that the Waldensian Church could become the base from which to launch a missionary offensive against Italy. However, in preparation for this task Sims felt that the Waldenses first had to adopt the Church of England as a model, in terms of both organizational structure and liturgy.
