  Joseph Justus Scaliger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609) was the tenth child and third son of Julius Caesar Scaliger and Andiette de Roques Lobejac.
The composition of Latin verse was the chief amusement of Julius in his later years, and he daily dictated to his son from eighty to a hundred lines, and sometimes more.
For the life of Julius Caesar, the letters edited by his son, those subsequently published in 1620 by the President de Maussac, the Scaligerana, and his own writings are full of autobiographical matter, are the chief authorities.

 Joseph Justus Scaliger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Joseph Justus Scaliger was born in Agen on the night between 4 and 5 August, 1540,the tenth child and third son of Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484—1558) and Antoinette de Roques Lobejac.
As a consequence, Scaliger was an accomplished Latinist even before he went on to study at the University of Paris (1558—62) in order to refine his Greek, a feat he seems to have accomplished largely on his own, with the aid of a Latin translation of Homer.
Although Scaliger had every reason to be relieved at being able to leave France, which seemed to be in a perpetual state of chaos, on arrival in Holland he was disturbed by the notorious rudeness of the Dutch and the heavy drinking of his new-found colleagues.

Her friends objected to her marriage with an unknown adventurer, but in 1528 he had obtained so much success as a physician that the objections of her family were overcome, and at forty-five he married Andiette, who was then sixteen.
A charge of heresy in 1538, of which he was acquitted by his friendly judges, one of whom was his friend Arnoul Le Ferron, was almost the only event of interest during these years, except the publication of his books, and the quarrels and criticisms to which they gave rise.

 Julian calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The problems became particularly acute during Julius Caesar's pontificate, 63 BC to 46 BC, when there were only five intercalary months, whereas there should have been eight, and none at all during the five Roman years before 46 BC.
The chronologist Joseph Scaliger established in 1583 that the Augustan reform was instituted in 8 BC, and inferred that the sequence of leap years was 42, 39, 36, 33, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 BC, AD 8, 12 etc. This proposal is still the most widely accepted solution.
A curious effect of this is that Caesar's assassination on the Ides (15th day) of March in 44 BC fell on 14 March 44 BC in the Julian calendar.

 Julius Caesar Scaliger - Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
Julius Caesar Scaliger (egentligen della Scala), italiensk lärd, född 1484 i Riva vid Gardasjön, död 1558 i Agen.
Scaliger utgår från Aristoteles, vilken han betecknar som "imperator noster, omnium bonarum artium dictator perpetuus" ("Vår fältherre, alla goda konsters ständige diktator"), men han har lämpat hans regler efter Horatius' Ars poetica och romerska retoriker som Cicero och Quintilianus.
Scaliger är övervägande påverkad av latinsk diktning och främst beundrare av Vergilius, som är mönstret framför andra, under det Homeros ställes vida under honom.

Nor does he even attempt a refutation of the crucial point, which Scioppius had proved, as far as a negative can be proved--namely, that William, the last prince of Verona, had no son Nicholas, the alleged grandfather of Julius nor indeed any son who could have been such grandfather's.

Caesar returned to Rome in 46 BC and had the Senate appoint him dictator for ten years; he was given imperium over the Roman Empire and was, for all practical purposes, above the law and the constitution.
Caesar decreed, however, that the debtors should satisfy their creditors according to a valuation of their possessions at the price which they had paid for them before the war, deducting whatever interest already had been paid.
Caesar's most important policy was his lavish granting of citizenship: those who were subjected by the Romans could receive a set of extra civil rights and a small share in the benefits of empire.

Julius Caesar certainly does dramatize the competing claims of republic and empire, played out in part as a struggle to control the names and significance of days and times.
Whether or not Julius Caesar was ever performed as the conscious parody perpetrated by commoners--both by the Roman plebs and by the common actors who played them--is ultimately unknowable, as is the response of the various constituencies of an audience in 1599.
Julius Caesar does not, of course, forget the period in which the awareness of time is lost in Rome; rather, it is an act of remembering such a period.

The calendar promulgated by Julius Caesar in 45 B.C. had slipped out of step with the seasons so far by 4 Oct. 1582 that Pope Gregory XIII declared the next day to be 15 Oct. 1582 and promulgated the calendar that now bears his name.
Julius Caesar approximated that with a 365 day year plus an extra 366th day, Feb. 29, every fourth year (called a " leap-year ").
