	Uncle Jazzbeau’s Gallimaufrey: October 2004 Archives
		When it comes to dictionaries, I’ve always wanted to have a copy of the Greek Lexicon (of 51,000 difficult words) compiled by Hesychius of Alexandria in the fifth century CE.
		(If I look up a word in Scott and Liddell, it seems I’m always being waylaid by one of Hesychius’ nearby inkhorn terms.) The last complete edition was published by Marcus Musurus in 1514 (at the press of Aldus Manutius).
		There’s just one MS and a modern edition, under the auspices of the Danish Academy, has been in the works since 1953.

	XV Mostra del Libro Antico
		This ponderous task was carried out by Marcus Musurus, one of Aldus's principal editors and one of the most learned members of his Venetian academy of Hellenists.
		In his capacity of professor at Padua and then official professor of Greek employed by the Republic of Venice, Musurus assisted Aldus in the edition of most of his Greek publications: Aristophanes, Plato, Pindar, Hesychinus, Athenaeus, and Pausanias.
		Musurus, who had reached the papal court in 1516, died before becoming effectively a bishop.

		This is the first edition of the Greek text of Aristophanes, edited by Marcus Musurus (ca.
		The great literary merit of Aristophanes is not the sole value of this edition: Musurus asserts in the introduction that these plays serve as a guide to conversational Attic Greek as well.
		This was only one of the many Greek classics published by Aldus Manutius, editions highly-regarded for their textual accuracy and printed beauty, books that made Aldus the most celebrated publisher of his day.

		Musurus' presence at the School of San Marco brought back the Greek scholarship, the editorial activity, and the copying of manuscripts which had passed from the institution with the death of Giorgio Valla.
		But Musurus was only the main feature of an intellectual scene that was beginning to show much of the richness and variety of an earlier age.
		Musurus' Greek elegiac poem has been considered one of the finest written since the decline of classical civilization: and Aldus' Latin letter is one of the most comprehensive statements of the humanist position to be found outside Erasmus.

		But Demetrius himself lived to be more than eighty and died at Milan shortly before the French were driven out of Italy by the forces of Pope Julius and the Venetians, not wholly unhappy in his fate since he knew nothing of the death of Theophilus, which his wife had concealed from him.
		Marcus Musurus, the Cretan, a most painstaking scholar and a poet of rare charm, having for some time lectured on 60 Greek authors in the university of Padua, attained to the full ripeness of learning together with a great reputation for penetrating intellect.
		When Leo held out splendid inducements to brilliant men of genius, Musurus went to Rome and soon after, on the death of the learned and wise Greek, Manilius Rhallus, he was made Archbishop of Malvasia.

		Erasmus was very fond of Musurus and expressed his amazement at the generosity of Musurus and other Greek emigres, who, without hesitation, presented to him valuable manuscripts in their possession, along with advice on literary problems.
		With the death of Aldus in 1515, then of Musurus in 1517, and finally of Janus Lascaris and Arsenios Apostolis in 1534 and 1535 respectively, the hegemony in Greek studies moved to northern Europe.
		Most important, Marcus Musurus, in the early sixteenth century, made this Greek chair the Mecca for students from all areas of Europe.

		It was this mathematical emphasis, in contrast to the medieval western Aristotelian stress on logic that, according to this theory, paved the way for the advent of modern western science, especially acceptance of the Copernican theory.
		If the Italian Ficino was responsible for producing the first complete Latin translation of the Platonic dialogues, it was, as is not always realized, a Byzantine or rather a post-Byzantine Marcus Musurus, the Cretan editor of the Venetian Aldine Press -who made the first printed edition of the original Greek text.
		To this work Musurus prefixed his famous 'Hymn to Plato', a composition which, at least from the philological point of view, some scholars rank as the finest piece of Greek poetry written since antiquity.

	Luminarium Encyclopedia: Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536)
		He wrote to Erasmus of a land flowing with milk and honey under the "divine" young king, and with Warham sent him £10 for journey money.
		He had been disappointed in Italy, to find that he had not much to learn from its famed scholarship; but he had made many friends in Aldus's circle — Marcus Musurus, John Lascaris, Baptista Egnatius, Paul Bombasius, Scipio Carteromachus; and his reception had been flattering, especially in Rome, where cardinals had delighted to honour him.
		But to remain in Rome was to sell himself.

		Aldus recorded his intention to publish the complete works of Plato as early as 1497.
		He mentions in the introductory parts of this volume that he and Musurus, since 1512 a public lecturer for Greek in Venice, had used a large number of manuscripts to establish the text.
		Some of those manuscripts came from Cardinal Bessarion’s collection, bequeathed to Venice but kept locked away and essentially inaccessible for many decades; indeed, this was one of the very rare occasions on which any scholar had been allowed to use this collection.

		The first of his epistles To Marcus Tullius Cicero expresses the feelings stirred in him by reading the orator's Letters to Atticus, Brutus, and Quintus, which he had just been fortunate enough to unearth at Verona: he was not destined to know the Epistolae ad Familiäres, which were found about 1389 at Vercelli.
		A Cretan, Marcus Musurus, was the most important of his assistants.
		The handwriting of Musurus was the pattern from which Aldo's Greek type was cast,-as, in a later day, Person's hand supplied a model to the Cambridge press.

		Perhaps overshadowed by the great 1495 Aristotle edition of Aldus Manutius or perhaps by the 1640 establishment of the Imprimerie Royale, this imposing four volume edition of Aristotle in 1639 has perhaps been unfairly neglected.
		Aldus had reintroduced Aristotle's Greek text to the Western world by way of the printing-press, but his Greek typeface is said to have been based on the handwriting of his friend Marcus Musurus, with its crabbed and unusual ligatures.
		This edition sets forth both Greek and Latin texts in parallel columns, filling an important historical and scholarly need.
