Ignazio Guidi (1844 – 18 April 1935) was an Italian orientalist. He became professor at the
University of Rome. He is known as a
Hebraist and for many translations.
He also edited for the first time a letter of
Simeon of Beth Arsham about the martyrs of Najran, the oldest evidence for this historical event.
He was the student of the Ethiopian scholar Däbtära Keflä-Giorgis, who played a "crucial role as teacher of the person who could be described as the father of Ethiopian studies in Italy, Ignazio Guidi."[3]
