Appiano Buonafede (1716–1793) was an Italian priest[1] and philosopher who published under the name Agatopisto Cromaziano.[1]
Appiano Buonafede was born in Comacchio, a Province of Ferrara, and died in Rome. He became a professor of theology while in Naples in 1740, and entering the religious body of the Celestines, rose to be general of the order in 1777.[2]
His principal works are on the history of philosophy, though he also published a few poems and philosophic comedies.[2] He was “certainly not an original historian, but nor was he a simple compiler.”[3] The most part of his compilation was based on the works of Johann Jakob Brucker and Thomas Stanley.[4] For example, his seven-volume Della istoria e della indole di ogni filosofia di Agatopisto Cromaziano (1766-1781) was heavily dependent on the works of Brucker.[5]
