ARIALDUS. <.us epithet, meanin- "the ragpicker, because l,i^ followers assembled in the slum fiuartcr of Milan, where the ragpickers lived. He led them in vigorous protest, even insurrections, against the clerical marriages and incontinence and in support of the strict enforcement of clerical celibacy. Although successively sanctioned by Popes Stephen IX. (1057-58), Nicholas II (lOr.9-01), Alexander 11. (1061-73), he found little svmpathv among his brethren, and used to complain that he could get only layinen to assist him in his agitation. Having at length succeeded in obtaining a Papal nication against the Archbishop ol Milan ( 10(,.,) a tierce tumult ensued in the city, whose inhalnt- ants declared against Arialdus and his coadju- tors, not because they opposed clerical marriages, but because they thought them bent on subjugat- in<r the Church of Milan to Rome. Arialdus now fled to the country, but his hiding-place being betraved, he was conveyed captive to a desert isle in Lake Maggiore, where he was murdered bv the emissaries of the archbishop, and his remains thrown into the lake. June 28, 106o. He ^as afterwards canonized by Pope Alexander II. ARIANE, a're-aii'.

ARIAS a'ri-(Ts,, surnamed MoN- TANUS (1.527-98). A Roman Catholic divine noted for his great linguistic attainments He was born at Fregenal de la Sierra. He studied first at Seville, and afterwards at A Henares, where he distinguished himself by the ardor he manifested in the acquisition of the Oriental languages, Arabic, Syriac, and Oha - dee He next proceeded on a tour through Itaiv, France, Germany, England, and the Neth- erlands, in the course of which he obtained a knowledge of various modern tongues. He joined the knightlv Order of Saint .Tames as a priest, and as thedlogue of Bishop Martin Perez Azala, of Segovia, attended the Council of Trent; but on his return home he resolved to retire into se- clusion at Aracena, and dedicate ll';- whole time to literature. In 1568, however, Philip II. per- suaded him to repair to Antwerp and superin- tend the publication of the famous edition of the Polvglot Bible, executed m that city at the suggestion of the printer, Christopher Plan- tin After four years' labor, the work xyas issued under the title miinjnrm. H/^rawe Chaldnice, Grcrce et Lalwe, Phdippi II. Regis Catholici Pietate et studio ad Sacrisanctce (Antwerp, 1569-73, 8 vols., folio). Only 500 sets were printed, and the greater part of them were lost at sea, on their way to Spain. It was received with universal applause. The Jesuits, to whom Arias was sincerely and strenu- ously opposed, alone attempted to fasten the charge of heresy on the author because he had included so much ralibinical matter, and he made several journeys to Rome to clear himself of the accusation. Philip II. rewarded him with a pension of 2000 ducats, besides bestowing on him various other emoluments — as court chaplain and librarian at the Escurial. He died at Se- ville in 1598. His literary works are very nu- merous. They relate principally to the Bible and to Jewish antiquities ; but he also wrote numer- ous Latin poems and a history of nature.
