Specialist Notes

Rare edition of the philologist and humanist. He edited the editions of numerous ancient texts and dealt with various subjects, from ' agriculture to science, from rhetoric to moral philosophy, and searched Florentine and Italian libraries for texts to compare the codes. His main interest remained, throughout his life, the study of ancient texts and especially Greek texts.
