Pietro Crinito, more commonly called Crinitus, was a 15th-century Florentine poet whose humanitarian works were known to influence Nostradamus. His most important work was ‘On Honest Discipline’, first published in 1504. The title itself is a bit misleading, as the work is a collection of poems, translations, epigrams, and direct quotes from other writers such as Tullius Laureas, Ausonius, Diogenes Laertius, Plutarch, and others.

 

Crinitus is only known to have written two other books in addition to ‘Honesty’, all of which are always printed together. The other two lesser-known works were anthologies of Latin poems.

 

This 1561 Lyon edition of Crinitus includes all three of his books and is highly rare and very difficult to obtain! It was published by Gryphium with the expected griffin printer’s device on the title page.
