His profound knowledge of theology and patriHlics is attested by the learned and exhaustive introductions which he pre- fixed to his critical editions of Grceic and Latin Fa- thers as well as by hia other literary productions.

Cyp- riani opera", to which he prefixed a basic life of St. Cyprian (Paris, 1726, P. L.. IV); the third volume of the works of St. Basil, the two firat volumes of which had been completed by Gamier (Paris, 1730). His other works, aft anonymous, are " Dissertation but les Simiariena" (Paris, 1722); "Divinitas domini noHtri Jeeu Christi manifeata in scripturis et traditione" tParis, 1746; new cd.,Wiir!burg, 1859); "Ladivinit* de J^us Christ prouvte contre tes h^r^tiques ct les d6i3t«s",3 vols.

Haiuta, an Armenian Catholic Diocese. The an- dent name of this village was most probably Ger- manida, the seat of a titular see (see Vol. VI, 475). A patriarch resided here under Afens Comnenus, shortly after which the country fell into the hands of the Armenian princes. It (hen passed into the power of the Crusaders, who established there a countship dependent on tltat of Edeeaa. The Seljuks captured it in 1155, and after various changes of masters it belonged from the sixteenth century to the OamanU Turks. The town, built on the slopes of Ahour-dagh. is watered by numerous water-courses, tributaries ot Pyrnmus. It numbers 52,(K)0 inhabitants, nearly l:i,00 of whom are Catholics: Armenians, Chaldeans, I.iitins, Melchites, and Syrians; there are besides about lO.OftO schii^niatic Clirisliaiis, llie greal«r nuis- hi'r lioiti/f Anifniunn.

Hvatta, CkB-io, Italian painter, b. at Oatnerini^ in the March of Ancons, 13 May, 1625; d. in Rome, 15 December, 1713. From very early years Maratta showed an extraordinary skill in design, and was sent by his patrons to Rome to study under Andrea Sacchi, with wnom be re- mained for many years, and for the

hia

greatest fr. _ and benefactor. After a while be returned to his own part of Italy, and then in 1650, in company with the governor of Ancona, iCardinal Albriaio, who had very much ad- mired his talent, he came again to Rome, and was introduced to Alexander VTI, who at once gave him many com-

eventually, at the request of Sacchi, the important one for a painting of Constantine destroying the idols for the Baptistery of the Lateran. Tim was one of bis greatest works, and inninawKl fail popularity at the Vatican. In 1704 he was knigktad by Clement XI, and given the Onler ol Chriat, iriiik in the same year he was created painter ia onii- nary by Louis XIV of France, who had wen bia pie- ture of Daphne and greatly admired it. It ma am^ ing his residence in Rome that Maratta was atyltd Maratti by the Romans, and his name it frequently writtan in that form, althou^ originally it ynm aa iM have given it. The painter was a member of thftAaad- emy of St. Luke in Rome, and was not only artist but extremely clever at cleaning ana i__.

frescoes, and was employed by Clement XI to ,

out such work as was necessary for the Raphael liM- coesin the Vatican. He was also a clever etcber.uaBC the tool with much freedom and spirit.

His pictures are very numerous. There are •even] in the Louvre and others in Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Brussels, Rome, Florence, St, Pelersburg, and in tha National Gallery, Hampton Court., and at DevoOaUn House in England. As a portrait painlfr he takM high place. He was also a skilful architect, and re- sponsible for the designs of several buikiinga, Ba religious pictures are marked by a certain strength and nobility, coupled with a gracious harmony. He was not so skilful in arranging drapery, and was a little disposed to exaggerate the details and acceasoriea, breaking in upon the gcneml effect of his pictures, but this fiiult is less seen in his portraits than in his Madonna groups and religious compositions.
