Ferrara.
* 1.1Volateranus writeth that Salicet was in the year of Christs Nativity 1316. sent for by Albertus Duke of Ferrara, to institute a common School in this City, which was afterward confirmed and priviledged by Pope Boniface the eighth, and ex∣ceedingly augmented by the bounty and liberality of the succeeding Princes of Este.
Sundry learned Writers have proceeded from this Academy, as Felinus Sammae∣us, the Interpreter of the Canon-Law, Andraeas Alciatus, Theodorus Gaza, Alexander Guarinus, Caelus Calcanimus, to whom Rhodiginus dedicated his book of four and twenty ancient readings, Baptista Gnavinus, and Nocholaus Leonicenus, Peter Bembus his master, Johannes Manardus, Lilius Gyraldus, Alexander Sardus, Angelus Aretinus the famous Lawyer.

Antonius Be∣carius Scodraus Episcopus or∣dinis Praedica∣torum Mona∣chus, vir ap∣primè doctus, uti scriptorum ejus monu∣menta testan∣tur Felinus quoque San∣daeus Episco∣pus, qui multa de Pontificio jure pereruditè scripta reliquit, Ferrariae genitus est, item{que} Hieronymus Savenarola praedicatorum ordinis Monachus, eximia vir doctrina nec minoris vitae sanctitate, integritatéque, sicut opera posteritati relicta probant. Floruit circa 1497. Christo nato annum. Ludovicus Ariostus Ferratiensis mirabilem planè ingenii facultatem in Orlan••o Furioso demonstravit, plurimorum excellentium Poetarum inventionibus, praecipuéque Virgilii tam commodè ac luculenter ad institutum adhibitis, ut non fabulae confictae, sed vetae rerum narrationes & historiae videantur. In eodem illorum Catalogo qui Ferrariam illustrarunt, Caelius Calcagnimus fuit, in patria Canonicus, ingenii splendote summo, & Latinis Graecisque litteris apprimè eruditus, Orator juxta ac Poëta elegantissimus, ut litterarum monumentis est testatus. Nunc adhuc urbem hanc Lilius Gregorius Gyraldus nobilitat. assiduus scriptor, & Graecae linguae interprès, ingenii acerrimi. Paucissimos aetate nostra cum eo comparari Graecarum Latinarumque litterarum scientia posse equidem absque adulatione censemus: memoriaque praeterea tam est tenaci, ut quod semel legerit, ejus eum perpetuò recordari posse arbitter. Ornat jam quoque Ferrariam Latinis Poëmatis Ludovicus Bigus, item elegantissimis orationibus editis Alexander Guarinus, praeterea Gaspar Sardus eximius historicus. Leand. Alb. Descript. tot. Ital. in Romanula.
