Everything about Guarino Da Verona totally explained
Guarino da Verona (
1370 –
December 14,
1460) was an early figure in the Italian
Renaissance.
He was born at
Verona, and studied
Greek at
Constantinople, where for five years he was the pupil of
Manuel Chrysoloras. When he set out to return to
Italy, he'd with him two cases of precious Greek manuscripts which he'd taken great pains to collect; it's said that the loss of one of these by shipwreck caused him such distress that his hair turned grey in a single night. On arriving back in Italy, he earned a living as a teacher of Greek, first at Verona and afterwards in
Venice and
Florence; in 1436 he became, through the patronage of Lionel, marquis of Este, professor of Greek at Ferrara; and in 1438 and later acted as interpreter for the Greeks at the councils of Ferrara and Florence. He died at Ferrara in 1460.
His principal works are translations of
Strabo and of some of the
Lives of
Plutarch, a compendium of the Greek grammar of Chrysoloras, and a series of commentaries on
Persius,
Martial, the
Satires of Juvenal, and on some of the writings of
Aristotle and
Cicero.
