'''Carlo Vercellone''' (10 January 1814{{snd}}19 January 1869) was an Italian [[biblical]] scholar.
==Biography==
Carlo was born at [[Biella]]. He entered the Order of the [[Barnabites]] at [[Genoa]], in 1829; studied philosophy at [[Turin]] and theology at Rome, under [[
He taught the sacred sciences at [[Alessandria]], Turin, [[Perugia]] and [[Parma]].
In 1847, was made president of the college of the Barnabites at Rome, a position which he held together with the charge first of [[wikt:procurator|procurator]], and then [[superior general]] of his order, and with various offices in several [[Roman Congregation]]s, until his death

That this edition was far from perfect, Mai himself had well realized, and Vercellone publicly acknowledged in the above-mentioned letter; he at once set out to have it corrected mainly from Mai's notes, the outcome of his labours being a new octavo edition of the [[New Testament]] (Rome, 1859), prefaced by an epistle. A few months before, a poor reprint of the New Testament edition of 1857 had been struck off at Leipzig for a London firm. Yet critics persisted in thinking a new and accurate edition of the "Vaticanus" was imperatively needed, and [[Pius IX]] manifested his intention to carry out the design and entrust it to Vercellone. The latter helped [[Constantin von Tischendorf|Tischendorf]] in the preparation of his "Nov. Test. Vat." (Leipzig, 1867).
In 1868 appeared the first volume of the "Bibliorum sacrorum graecus codex vaticanus, auspice PIO IX...editus", the work of Vercellone and the [[Basilian monk]] [[Giuseppe Cozza-Luzi]]; the second volume (Genesis-Josue) followed in 1869, shortly before Vercellone's death, and the others in 1870, 1871, 1872, and 1881,
Vercellone's critical studies on the text of the Latin [[Vulgate]], although he brought the work only as far as IV Kings, contributed more to his fame than the editing of the Vatican manuscript. These studies, with important and valuable prolegomena, appeared (2 volumes, 1860–64) under the title, "Variae lectiones Vulgatae latinae editionis Bibliorum", and may be said to have paved the way for the revision of the Vulgate.
