Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTONIO DE LEBRIJA [ANTONIUS NEBRISSENSIS] , (1444
1522), Spanish scholar, was born at Lebrija in the province of
Andalusia
 . After studying at Salamanca he resided for ten years in Italy, and completed his education at Bologna University. On his return to Spain (1473), he devoted himself to the advancement of classical learning amongst his countrymen. After holding the professorship of poetry and grammar at Salamanca, he was transferred to the university of Alcala de Henares, where he lectured until his death in 1522, at the age of seventy-eight. His services to the cause of classical literature in Spain have been compared with those rendered by Valla,
Erasmus
  and Budaeus to Italy, Holland and France. He produced a large number of works on a variety of subjects, including a Latin and Spanish dictionary, commentaries on
Sedulius
  and Persius, and a Compendium of Rhetoric, based on
Aristotle
 , Cicero and Quintilian. His most ambitious
work
  was his chronicle entitled Rerum in Hispania Gestarum Decades (published in 1545 by his son as an
original
 
work
  by his father), which twenty years later was found to be merely a Latin
translation
  of the Spanish chronicle of Pulgar, which was published at
Saragossa
  in 1567. De Lebrija also took part in the production of the Complutense polyglot Bible published under the patronage of Cardinal Jimenes.

 , History of Ferdinand and
Isabella
 , i. 410 (note) ; MacCrie, The Reformation in Spain in the Sixteenth Century (1829).
