Works
editHis first work of importance was a new edition ofFerdinando Ughelli'sItalia Sacrapublished in ten volumes from 1717 to 1722. Besides correcting many errors, Coleti continued Ughelli's history to the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Coleti then undertook the compilation of his large work entitledCollectio Conciliorum.Up to this time there had been two standard histories of the councils,Sacrorum conciliorum nova et amplissima collectiobyPhilippe LabbeandGabriel Cossart(1671–72), its supplement compiled byÉtienne Baluze(of which only the first volume was published), and the collection ofJean Hardouin(1715). Coleti's collection was based on that of Labbe and Cossart, though he used Baluze and Hardouin. It was published by his brother Sebastiano from 1728 to 1733 in twenty-three volumes. The last two were calledApparatus primusandApparatus secundus,containing the indexes.
Other works of Coleti's wereSeries episcoporum Cremonensium aucta(1749), andMonumenta ecclesiæ Venetæ S. Moisis(1758). Coleti also annotated a manuscript ofScipione Maffei,now preserved in theBiblioteca Vallicellianaat Rome.
