After having taken his vows, he was sent to Ravenna to teach theology, where he acquired a large store of varied literary knowledge, and formed many valuable acquaintances. Calogiera, after some years, returned to his monastery of St. Michele, where he spent the greater part of his remaining lifo in his favourite literary studies. He was induced to compile an annual selection from the numerous papers which were read in the various scientific and philological academies scattered about Italy, and which, for want of a common journal, remained buried and forgotten in their respective archives. Calogiera undertook the task, in which he was assisted by Pier Caterino Zeno, Facciolati, Vallianieri, Muratori, Mauni, and other learned contemporaries. He began to publish in 1728, at Venice, the Raccolta d'Opuscoli Scientifici a Filologici,' which continued to appear periodically till 1753, when the series closed by its fifty-first volume, which contains an index of the whole collection.

it however in 1754, under the title of Nuova Itaccolta d'Opuscoli Scientifici a Filologici,' which lie carried on to the time of his death, In 1768, after which it was continued by his co-religionist Father Mandelli till 1784, when the fortieth and last volume of this second series appeared.
