An Italian poet and scholar; born in Ferrara, June 13, 1479; died there, February 1552. His most valuable works, "Historia de Diis Gentium", a historical manual of classical mythology; "DeAnnis et Mensibus", a treatise on the calendar; "Historiae Poetarum Graecorum ac Latinorum", a study in classical literary biography; and several more, are still quoted as authoritative. He helped greatly to spread the taste for knowledge characteristic of the age, and his Latin verses prove him a consummate poet.
