RAMUSIO

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 882 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAMUSIO . The noble Italian family of Ramusiothe spelling adopted in the publication of the Navigationi, though it is also written Ramnusio, Rhamnusio, Rannusio, &c.was one of note for literary and official ability during at least four generations. Its
original
 
home
  was in Rimini, and the municipality of that city has within the last few years set up a tablet on the town
hall
  bearing an inscription which may be thus rendered: " The municipality of Rimini here records the claim of their city to the family of the Ramusios, adorned during the 15th and 16th centuries by the illustrious jurist and man of letters
Paolo
  the elder, who rendered the
work
  of Valturius, our fellow-citizen, into the vernacular; by the physician Girolamo, a most successful student of Oriental tongues, and the first to present Europe with a
translation
  of Avicenna; and by Giovanni Battista, cosmographer to the Venetian republic and secretary to the Council of Ten, who bequeathed to the world that famous collection of voyages and travels, regarded in his own day as a marvellous
work
 , and still full of authority among all civilized nations."
