ALCIONIO, PIETRO , or PETxus ALCYONIUS (c. 1487-1527), Italian classical scholar, was born at Venice. After having studied Greek under Marcus

Musurus

MUSURUS, MARCUS (c. 147o-1517)

of Candia, he was employed for some time by Aldus Manutius as a corrector of the

press

PRESS (through Fr. presse from Lat. pressare, frequentative of premere, to crush, squeeze, press)

, and in 1522 was appointed professor of Greek at Florence through the

influence

INFLUENCE (Late Lat. influentia, from influere, to flow in)

of Giulio de' Medici. When his patron became

pope

in 1523 under the title of Clement VII., Alcionio followed him to Rome and remained there until his death. Alcionio published at Venice, in 1521, a Latin

translation

of several of the works of

, which was shown by the Spanish scholar Sepulveda to be very incorrect. He wrote a dialogue entitled Medices Legatus, sive de Exilio (1522), in connexion with which he was charged with plagiarism by his personal enemy,

from Cicero's lost treatise De Gloria, and had then destroyed the only existing copy of the

in order to escape detection. His contemporaries speak very unfavourably of Alcionio, and accuse him of haughtiness, uncouth manners, vanity and licentiousness.
