LASCARIS, CONSTANTINE (d. 1493 or 1500)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 232 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LASCARIS, CONSTANTINE (d. 1493 or 1500) , Greek scholar and grammarian, one of the promoters of the revival of Greek learning in Italy, was born at
Constantinople
 . He was a member of the noble Bithynian family, which had furnished three emperors of Nicaea during the 13th century. After the fall of
Constantinople
  in 1453, he took
refuge
  first in
Corfu
  and then in Italy, where Francesco
Sforza
 , duke of
Milan
 , appointed him Greek tutor to his daughter. Here was published his Grammatica Graeca, sive compendium octo orationis parlium, remarkable as being the first book entirely in Greek issued from the printing
press
 . After leaving
Milan
 , Lascaris taught in Rome under the patronage of Cardinal Bessarion, and in Naples, whither he had been summoned by Ferdinand I. to deliver a course of lectures on
Greece
 . Ultimately, on the invitation of the inhabitants, he settled in Messina, Sicily, where he continued to teach publicly until his death. Among his numerous pupils here was Pietro
Bembo
 . Lascaris bequeathed his library of valuable MSS. to the senate of Messina; the collection was afterwards carried to Spain and lodged in the Escurial.
The Grammatica, which has often been reprinted, is the only
work
  of value produced by Lascaris. Some of his letters are given by J. Iriarte in the Regiae Bibliothecae Matritensis codices Graeci manuscripli, i. (Madrid, 1769). His name is known to modern readers in the romance of A. F.
Villemain
 , Lascaris, ou les Grecs du quinzieme siecle (1825). See also J. E. Sandys, Hist. Class. Schol., ed. 2, vol. ii. (1908), pp. 76 foll.
