ALCIONIO, PIETRO

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 523 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALCIONIO, PIETRO , or PETxus ALCYONIUS (c. 1487-1527), Italian classical scholar, was born at Venice. After having studied Greek under Marcus
Musurus
  of Candia, he was employed for some time by Aldus Manutius as a corrector of the
press
 , and in 1522 was appointed professor of Greek at Florence through the
influence
  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
Aristotle
 , 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,
Paulus
  Manutius. The accusation; which Tiraboschi has shown to be groundless, was that he had taken the finest passages in the
work
  from Cicero's lost treatise De Gloria, and had then destroyed the only existing copy of the
original
  in order to escape detection. His contemporaries speak very unfavourably of Alcionio, and accuse him of haughtiness, uncouth manners, vanity and licentiousness.
