Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Salvator Tongiorgi (25 December 1820 - 12 November 1865) was an Italian Jesuit philosopher and theologian. Born in Rome, Tongiorgi entered the Society of Jesus at the age of seventeen. After the usual noviceship, literary and philosophical studies, a half-decade was spent in teaching rhetoric at Reggio Emilia and humanities at Forl . Then four years were passed in the study of theology, under the professors such as Giovanni Perrone and Carlo Passaglia. Immediately after this, in 1853, the young priest was assigned to the chair of philosophy in the Roman College, and there during twelve years distinguished himself as a teacher and author. Within a few days of his forty-fourth birthday he was appointed assistant to the provincial of the Roman Province; but his health gave way before a year had elapsed.
