1559 Giovio FAMOUS Lives Erasmus Machiavelli Albert Magnus Thomas More Medici

Giovio, or Paul Jove, was one of the most important historians during the early 16^th-century. He was fascinated by Plutarch’s ‘Lives’, so much so that he created his own work which rivaled the ancient masterpiece. Giovio’s ‘Historiarum sui Temporis’ is a collection of biographical sketches of lives of famous men – church fathers, politicians, historians, authors, and philosophers. This edition includes names such as:

• Erasmus of Rotterdam
• Niccolo Machiavelli
• Baldassare Castiglione
• Ludovico Ariosto
• Poliziano – Agnolo Ambrogini
• Lorenzo di Medici
• Marcellus Vergilius
• Albertus Magnus
• Thomas More

This 1559 Italian edition was published in Venice and translated from the original Latin by Hippolito Orio.
