Ferdinando Piretti

Ferdinando Piretti, who lived between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was an Italian mathematician. He lived at the San Vitale monastery in Ravenna and later at the San Benedetto monastery in Ferrara. His book Lumi aritmetici, a work on arithmetic, was printed at Ferrara by Bernardino Pomatelli in 1725. The English Wikipedia article gives no dates of birth or death for him and no further details of his career, so this entry rests on its lead and on its listing of his book.
