He shared his brother's fondness for Oriental studies. After spending several years in Palestine, he was appointed professor of Oriental languages at Rome. He translated Thomas a Kempis's work, De Imitatione Christi, into Arabic, and labored on an edition of the Bible in the same language. At the age of seventy-four he went to convert the heathen on the coasts of Malabar. He died at Surat. See Glasius, Godgeleerd Nederland, 1:536; Bayle, art. Hemelar. (J.P.W.)
