His works are chiefly confined to the monasteries of Rome; among which is Christ Disputing with the Doctors, in the library of the Theatines. Baglioni says he was a monk for fifty years and died in 1615. He was also skilled in medicine, music, and botany. See Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts, s.v.; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Gen., s.v.
