The Life of B. John Juvenal Ancina: Companion of St. Philip Neri, Bishop of Saluzzo is a biographical work written by Charles Henry Bowden. The book tells the story of B. John Juvenal Ancina, a 16th-century Italian priest who was a close companion of St. Philip Neri, the founder of the Congregation of the Oratory. Ancina went on to become the Bishop of Saluzzo, a position he held until his death in 1604. The book provides a detailed account of Ancina's life, including his upbringing, education, and religious vocation. It explores his relationship with St. Philip Neri and the impact that Neri had on his life and ministry. The book also delves into Ancina's work as a bishop, including his efforts to reform the clergy and promote the spiritual welfare of his diocese.The Life of B. John Juvenal Ancina is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, particularly the Counter-Reformation period. It offers insights into the lives of two important figures in the Church during this time and provides a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities faced by the Church in the 16th and 17th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
