UDALL (UVEDALE), JOHN: Puritan; b. about 1560; d. in London toward the end of 1592. He studied at Christ's and Trinity Colleges, Cambridge (B.A., 1581; M.A., 1584); was presented ,to the living of Kingston-on-Thames before 1584, of which he was deprived in 1588 for bold and offensive preaching of Puritan doctrine, and issued three volumes of sermons, Amendment of Life, Obedience to the Gospell, and Peter's Fall (Kingston, 1584). A fourth volume, The True Remedie against Famine and Warres, appeared 1586. He was a friend of John Penry (q.v.) and gave him certain information which was used in the first Marprelate tract. Independently he wrote The State of the Church of Englande Laide Open in a Conference (generally known as "The Dialogue" from its form) and A Demonstration of the Trueth of that Discipline which Christ, bath Prescribed . . . for the Government of his Church, both printed by Penry's printer, Robert Waldegrave, in 1588 (reprinted by Edward Arber, The English Scholar's Library, nos. 5 and 9, London, 1879, 1880). He was suspected of complicity in the Marprelate tracts (q.v.) and summoned to London for examination, Dec., 1589; in July, 1590, he was brought to trial, charged with publishing " a wicked, scandalous, and seditious libel " (the Demonstration); was found guilty, and sentenced to death, but no desire was manifested to execute the sentence; in June, 1592, on the intercession of influential friends, he was pardoned by queen Elizabeth. He was a good Hebrew scholar and translated from Latin into English the Hebrew grammar of Peter Martinius (Paris, 1567), adding exercises and a dictionary (The Key of the Holy Tongue, Leyden, 1593), and wrote a commentary on Lamentations (London, 1595).

UGOLINI, a"g6-IiInt, BIAGIO (BLASIUS UGOLINUS): Italian Roman Catholic Christian antiquarian; flourished in the eighteenth century. Of his life nothing is known, but there is little doubt that he was a Jew by birth. In an open letter to C. B. Michaelis (Venice, 1748) he mentions the fact that he frequently associated at Venice with J. E. I. Walch (b. 1725) and his brother, C. W. F. Walch (b. 1726), and likewise requests Michaelis to give his greetings to the Halle professor, Sigismund Baumgarten (d. 1757).

Ugolini's fame rests upon his Thesaurus antiquitatum sacrarum, in thirty-four enormous folios (Venice, 1744-69). This contains first a reprint of numerous treatises on Biblical archeology by various authors, and then a series of studies by Ugolini himself: Altare ezterius, de mensa et panibus propositionis (x.); Altare interius: De candelabra (xi.); De sacerdote castrensi [Deut. xx. 2 sqq.], (xii.); Sacerdotium Hebraicum (xiii.); De ritibus in ctena Domini ex antiquitatibus paschalibus illustratis (xvii.); De phylacteriis Hebrceorum (xxi.); Trihceresium [Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes] (xxii.); De re rustics veterum Hebrceorum (xxix.); Uxor Hebrcea (xxx.); and De veterum Hebreeorum et reliquarum gentium, prcesertim Grceeorum et Romanorum, funere et prce ficis (xxxiii.). All these treatises show a thorough knowledge of Jewish literature, as well as much other learning. A third portion of the Thesaurus consists of the text and Latin translation of ancient Jewish writings: thirty-one tractates of the Tosephthah (collection of pronouncements on matters of the law), twenty tractates of the Palestinian Talmud, three tractates of the Babylonian Talmud, four old Midrashim, and a number of tractates from the great Yad Hazakah of Maimonides.
