Nicolaus Perottus
Niccolò Perotti / Perotto (1429-1480).
Works:
- translation of Polybius’ Roman History
Rudimenta Grammatices, printed by Pannartz and Sweynheim in 1473
one of the earliest and most popular Renaissance Latin grammars, which attempted to exclude many words and constructions of medieval, rather than classical, origin. Described by Erasmus as 'accurate, yet not pedantic', it became a bestseller of its day
- with Julius Pomponius Laetus, Cornu Copiae. Something like a heavily
glossed Martial.
