Guarino

Guarino (Lat. Varinus), a learned Italian, born at Verona in 1370, went to Constantinople in 1388 to learn Greek under Chrysoloras. After his return, he taught in Verona, Padua, and Bologna, was tutor to Prince Lionella of Ferrara, acted as interpreter at the Council of Ferrara, and died in 1460. He performed great services for the revival of classical studies; wrote Greek and Latin grammars; translated parts of Strabo and Plutarch; and helped to establish the text of Livy, Plautus, Catullus, and Pliny.
