Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALESSANDRI, ALESSANDRO (ALEXANDER AB ALEXANDRO)
(1461-1523), Italian jurist, was born at Naples about the year 1461. He studied law at Naples and Rome, and afterwards practised for a time as
advocate
 
    See Also:
in both cities. He is said to have been royal proto-notary at Naples in 1490. Dissatisfied, according to his own
account
 , with the corrupt administration of
justice
 , he at length quitted the bar and devoted himself entirely to literary pursuits, especially to the study of philology and antiquities. A sinecure
appointment
 , which he owed to the favour of the
pope
 , enabled him to lead a
life
  of learned leisure at Rome, where he died on the 2nd of October 1523. His
work
  entitled Dies Geniales appeared at Rome in 1522, and was constructed after the model of the Nodes Atticae of Aulus Gellius, and the Saturnalia of
Macrobius
 . It consists of a confused
mass
  of heterogeneous materials relating to philology, antiquities, law, dreams, spectres, &c., and is characterized by considerable credulity.
