  Angelo Mai
In 1819, his superiors decided that he could render greater service in the ranks of the secular clergy; he therefore left the Society and was called by the pope to the Vatican Library.
The profane authors who profited by Mai's labours are: Diodorus of Sicily; Polybius; Oribasus; Procopius; Cicero (especially the Verrine orations), and the Roman jurisconsults.
Mai was blamed for his great unwillingness to allow the learned to share in the treasures he guarded so jealously.

 Angelo Mai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angelo Mai (March 7, 1782–September 8, 1854) was an Italian Cardinal and philologist.
It is on his skill as a reader of palimpsests that Mai's fame chiefly rests.
His edition of the celebrated Codex Vaticanus, completed in 1838, but not published (ostensibly the ground of inaccuracies) till four years after his death (1858), is the least satisfactory of his labours and was superseded by the edition of Vercellone and Cozza (1868), which itself leaves much to be desired.

 Angelo Mai - LoveToKnow 1911
ANGELO MAI (1782-1854), Italian cardinal and philologist, was born of humble parents at Schilpario in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, on the 7th of March 1782.
In 1799 he entered the Society of Jesus, and in 1804 he became a teacher of classics in the college of Naples.
Although Mai was not as successful in textual criticism as in the decipherment of manuscripts, he will always be remembered as a laborious and persevering pioneer, by whose efforts many ancient writings have been rescued from oblivion.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.07.26
Mai's prompt publication of the texts destroyed any reputation that Fronto might have had: tediously fawning and hypochondriacal, steeped in disappointment that his pupil Marcus disdained the glories of rhetoric in favor of Stoic philosophy, filled with archaizing language and pointless wordplay, Fronto's letters are not always a pleasure to read.
Mai's treatment of the manuscript with powerful chemicals (the usual practice of his day) helped him to read it; but the resulting deterioration of the parchment and ink have left it far more illegible than it was when he began.
That Mai guarded his manuscripts jealously (for fear that a more competent scholar might be able to do better than he had) meant that no-one else was permitted to examine it until after his death in 1854, more than forty years after his first discovery.

We cannot determine with the same certainty a limit for the period when the translation was executed, but judging from the general tone of the Latinity it could not have been later than the beginning of the fifth century.
This piece, although published for the first time by Mai, was known to Vincent of Beauvais, to Sau- maise, to Chifflet, and to many other critics.
It is by no means undeserving of attention ; the style is lively and attractive, and, although many of the statements are evidently fabulous, much curious in­ formation may be gleaned from it with regard to the affairs of Egypt and especially of Alexandria.

 Bibliography of Textual Criticism "M"
This edition of the Codex Vaticanus was really a revision of the Received Text according to the Vatican manuscript as collated by the Italian Cardinal Mai and his assistants (who, despite their evident lack of competence, were given privileged access to the manuscript until their work should be published).
The edition had been announced in 1836, at which time it was stated that the New Testament volume was ready for the press; but Mai, who for twenty years prevented other scholars from examining the manuscript, held his own edition back because of its potentially embarrassing faults.
After the death of Mai in 1854 the edition was finally seen through the press by his assistant Carlo Vercellone, beginning with the New Testament volume in 1857.

But add to them his position at a crucial moment in European history and his prolific and wide-ranging epistolary life -- indeed, one which comprises a veritable who's who list of politicians, authors and thinkers of his day -- and it becomes clear that Beltrami may be deserving of a closer look by future historians.
As the repository for many of Beltrami's personal documents, correspondence and ephemera, the Civica Biblioteca di Bergamo "Angelo Mai" is an ideal location for researchers to gain a further understanding of this complicated individual and his life's work.
This project was completed in 1999-2000 at the Civica Biblioteca di Bergamo "Angelo Mai" under the supervision of Dottor Giulio Orazio Bravi by Scott Andrew Collard, MSLIS (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).
