Not much is currently known about Nazareno Capo, who was born in Rome on 8 November 1877 (Rivista degli studi orientali 5, no. 1/2 (1913): 325). He taught Greek and Latin at the prestigious Collegio Nazareno in Rome (Talamo 2007: 221). In addition to scholarly articles in Latin on Isidore of Pelusium, he authored multiple other Latin texts on a wide range of subjects, including commemorative parchments and inscriptions, collected in his Carmina (Capo 1929; IJsewijn 1961: 170). In 1929, he participated in the Certamen Hoeufftianum (van Binnebeke 2020: 284). More research on his life and work is needed.
