Giovanni Battista de Marinis (died 1669) was the Master of the Order of Preachers from 1650 to 1669.
Giovanni Battista de Marinis came from a noble family from Genoa. [1]
Marinis was appointed lector at the College of St. Thomas, the future Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum in Rome after 1624. [2]
He was elected Master of the Dominican Order at the Chapter of 1650. [1]
By order of Pope Urban VIII, he was not allowed to make any visitations, instead ruling the order by letter. [1] He tried to check the growing number of polemical writings between the Dominicans and the Jesuits. [1]
He died in 1669. [1]
