	Niccolò de' Niccoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His lack of critical faculty was compensated by his excellent taste; in Greek (of which he knew very little) he had the assistance of Ambrogio Traversari.
		He regarded himself as an infallible critic, and could not bear the slightest contradiction; his quarrels with Francesco Filelfo, Guarino da Verona and especially with Traversari created a great sensation in the learned world at the time.
		His hypercritical spirit (according to his enemies, his ignorance of the language) prevented him from writing or speaking in Latin; his sole literary work was a short tract in Italian on Latin Orthography, which he withdrew from circulation after it had been violently attacked by Guarino.

	A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH To the Eve of the Reformation : L.3, C.3.
		In 1435 he sent him to Basel as legate, in a critical moment of the council’s proceedings, and the combination of learning, letters and perfect charity that was Ambrogio Traversari worked wonders with the touchy assembly.
		It was Traversari, again, whom the same pope sent as his legate to Venice in 1438 to receive the Greek emperor and the delegation that had come for the reunion council.
		Finally, he commissioned Gianozzo Manetti, the pupil of Ambrogio Traversari, and a leading personage in the great world of Florence for years until he fell foul of the rising Medici, to re-translate the Bible.

	The Catholic Encyclopedia - Camaldolese
		In 1434 Camaldoli asserted its authority, when Ambrogio Traversari, the prior general, suddenly made a visitation of San Mattia di Murano and deposed the prior for contumacy.
		This last was founded from Camaldoli in 1899, by Dom Ambrogio Pierattelli and Dom Michele Evangelisti, and one lay brother, Ermindo Dindelli.
		Dom Ambrogio was elected prior in 1903, and the first Camaldolese hermitage in the New World shows many signs of rapid and fruitful growth.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Abbey of Grottaferrata
		In the middle of the thirteeth century the Emperor Frederick II made the abbey his headquarters during the siege of Rome, in 1378 Breton and Gascon mercenaries held it for the antipope Clement VII; and the fifteenth century saw the bloody feuds of the Colonnas and the Orsini raging round tile walls.
		Hence in 1432 the humanist Ambrogio Traversari tells us that it bore the appearance of a barrack rather than of a monastery.
		In 1462 began a line of commendatory abbots, fifteen in number, of whom all but one were cardinals.

	About Fra Angelico \| Abbeville Press
		It must have been his formation as a Dominican that enabled him to participate in the theological debates that animated spiritual life of Florence and Rome during the first half of the quattrocento.
		Certainly the Order of Preachers equipped him with an unequaled command of rhetorical techniques that no one had ever previously translated into the medium of painting--the Last Judgment he painted for Ambrogio Traversari and the Deposition for Palla Strozzi were both enormously influential breakthroughs in this regard.
		Since Fra Angelico was praised by contemporary humanists such as Cristoforo Landino, and mainly employed by them--including, in addition to Ambrogio Traversari and Palla Strozzi, Cosimo de' Medici, and Popes Eugenius IV and Nicholas V--we must assume that his art responded in significant respects to their way of thinking.

		The other remaining Florentine of whom we propose to speak is Anmbrogio Traversari, who was born in 1 ~S6, near Forli, in the I~omagna, and at the age of fourteen entered the Camaldulensian monastery degli Angioli, at Florence.
		Traversari is an instance of a strict monk, uniting to a rig- orous observance of the rules of his order a great curiosity in regard to heathen literature, which led him into daily associa- tion with men of other morals and lives.
		We are not surprised that he was not much loved, that he was involved, especially, in bitter strife with brethren of his order, and everywhere was the author of variance and hatred rather than of reconcili tion.

	Greeks in Italy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Greek scholars who were driven to the West by the Moslem occupation of Constantinople brought their language, in its best and most attractive form, to the Universities of Italy.
		In the Council of Florence, in 1438, more than one Italian divine, especially Ambrogio Traversari, was found capable of holding discussions with the Greek representatives in their native tongue.
		In like manner, the Jews and Moors, who were exiled from Spain by the harsh and impolitic measures of Ferdinand and Isabella, deposited through all the schools of Europe the seeds of a solid and critical knowledge of Hebrew and Arabic and their cognate languages.

	Archaeology (Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library & Renaissance Culture)
		The texts of a late antique Christian theologian were ascribed during the Middle Ages to Saint Paul's sole Athenian convert, Dionysius.
		Ambrogio Traversari, the great expert on Christian Greek among the early humanists, produced this new Latin translation of the Greek original.
		In his colophon, Traversari thanks God for helping him complete his translation.

	J.R. Ritman Library - Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica
		This Renaissance manuscript contains the Latin translation by Ambrogio Traversari of a number of works dating to the 6th century.
		There was hardly a medieval philosopher or a theologian, let alone a mystic, unfamiliar with the Corpus Dionysiacum.
		In the renaissance humanists such as Ficino and Pico della Mirandola read the Areopagitica especially because they believed they might here find the quintessence of Platonism and at the same time the source of the Neoplatonists who wrote ‘after Dionysius’: Plotinus, Jamblichus and Proclus amongst others.

	TABLE OF CONTENTS
		Versions of the treatise On the Divine Names, and of the Letters, are very definitely ascribed to him; and it is also likely that the detached Letter to Timothy on the Martyrdoms of St Peter and Paul was rendered into Latin by him or by his assistants.
		Yet, however much of the work he may have succeeded in finishing, it is certain that in the fifteenth century the need for a fresh translation of the whole was felt in Italy, and that the need was supplied by the indefatigable Camaldulite, Ambrogio Traversari.
		Of all the prominent translators, Traversari is perhaps the one who has most clearly before him the thought that it is a worthy task to reopen to the Latins the mines of Greek theology.

		The Camalduensian monk, Traversari, learned the language and, in 1475, began the printing of Hebrew books on Italian presses.
		Chairs for the study of Hebrew were founded at Bologna, 1488, and in Rome 1514.
		The general of the Camalduensian order, Ambrogio Traversari, 1386-1439, combined ascetic piety with interest in heathen literature.

		Florence had a republican form of government whose wealth, unlike that of her rival Venice, was based on manufacturing.
		Cosimo de' Medici (1389-1464) was a part of the circle of the heirs of Petrarch, most notably Ambrogio Traversari, who forged an international Christian-Humanist conspiracy from his cell at the monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence, then the economic capital of Europe.
		In 1433, Cosimo de' Medici was expelled from Florence, but then brought back in 1434, with the help of Ambrogio Traversari.

		Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444), who served sometime after Salutati as Chancellor of Florence (1427-44), was among the best students of the Greek teacher Manuel Chrysoloras (1350-1415), who was brought to Florence by Salutati and taught Greek there for three years, 1397-1400.
		Ambrogio Traversari (1386—1439), a monk in the Camaldulensian Order, came to Florence in 1400 and either studied under or was inspired by Chrysoloras.
		He translated a number of texts of the Greek church fathers: Basil, Chrysostom, Gregory of Nazianzen, Pseudo-Dionysius.

		It becomes clear, that Cusa had personally researched that text, since in a gloss, he noted that the so-called ``Comma Johanneum'' (I John 5:7), was missing.
		As early as Oct. 17, 1437, Cardinal Cesarini, speaking with Ambrogio Traversari, had described the manuscripts on the preceding councils as valuable background material for the consultations with the Greeks.
		During the discussions which took place during the council, first in Ferrara and then in Florence, the Latins raised the argument that the Filioque; was not an addition but simply a more precise explanation of an affirmation contained in the Credo.

		Angelico was very much involved in this new thought and it shines out in his picture.
		(Although this painting in now at San Marco, it was origionally painted for the Florentine church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, comissioned by one of the great early humanists, Ambrogio Traversari.
		He was a reformer, a translator of the Greek Fathers into Latin, a patron of the arts, an ecumenist who sought the reunification of the Eastern and Western Church at the council of Florence - quite a hero really - he embodied the best of the new humanist movement).

		Perhaps Santillana's greatest departure from Castilian tradition lay in his collection of church fathers, a new enthusiasm in Florence after the council there.
		He had copies of Augustine, Eusebius, John Chrysostom, Basil, Ambrose, Gregory, and Jerome, in translations by George of Trebizond, cardinal Bessarion, and Ambrogio Traversari.
		There is no evidence that Ayala, Guzmán, or Santillana read the apocryphal stories of Christ's childhood that were popular elsewhere; and neither Guzmán nor Santillana possessed a single work of medieval theology.

	Helga Zepp LaRouche: A Contribution for Nicholas of Cusa's 600th Birthday
		Another group of people, with whom Nicolaus was in contact during his studies in Padua, were his close friend Giuliano Cesarini, Ambrogio Traversari, and Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, all of whom were in this same tradition of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio.
		In Padua, Nicolaus also started his lifelong friendship with Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli (1397-1482), who wrote the famous letter to Fernão Martins, where he argued, that one could reach China and India by the sea route going west—which later was used by Columbus, and led to his discovery of the Americas.
		The translations of Bruni, Traversari, and others, of Plato and Aristotle, had already provoked profound debates about the Good, the value of poetry, and about the nature of the community, which represented the intellectual environment during Nicolaus's studies in Padua, which he clearly developed to a higher level in his Concordantia catholica.
