Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MUSURUS, MARCUS (c. 147o-1517) ,
Greek
  scholar, was born at Rhithymna (Retimo) in
Crete
 . At an early age he became a
pupil
  of John Lascaris at Venice. In 1505 he was made professor of
Greek
  at Padua, but when the university was closed in 1509 during the war of the league of
Cambrai
  he
returned to Venice, where he filled a similar post. In 1516 he was summoned to Rome by Leo X., who appointed him
arch
 -
bishop
  of Monemvasia (Malvasia) in the Peloponnese, but he died before he left
Italy
 . Since 1493
Musurus
  had been associated with the famous printer Aldus Manutius, and belonged to the "Neacademia," a society founded by Manutius and other learned men for the promotion of Greek studies. Many of the Aldine classics were brought out under
Musurus
 's supervision, and he is credited with the first editions of the scholia of Aristophanes (1498), Athenaeus (1514), Hesychius (1514), Pausanias (1516).
See R. Menge's De M. Musuri vita studiis ingenio, in vol. 5 of M. Schmidt's edition of Hesychius (1868).
