Marullus, Michael Tarchaniotes. Greek Scholar in Italy – ..1500
The famed Neolatin poet of Greek origin, Michael Marullus, lived for a while in Dubrovnik, as did several noted Jewish humanists.
The inference seems clear: as Marullus was a Byzantine Greek and Constantinople fell on 29 May, his conception occurred shortly before that date, say around the middle of May.
Scala, Alessandra (1475-1506) Alessandra Scala was born in 1475, the fifth daughter of the chancellor of Florence, Bartholomeo Scala… In 1494, Scala did marry, and the mate she chose was the Greek poet Michele Marullo. Six years later, Marullo drowned while fording the Cecina River. Abandoning her Greek studies and her home, Scala entered the convent of San Pier Maggiore in Florence. She died there in 1506.
Marullus, however, despite the fact that he was Ronsard's favourite neolatin poet – and Ronsard's judgment is not to be despised—Marullus is hardly known at all…In English Marullus has been neglected along with almost all other humanists. Yet he was an interesting person as well as an extremely fine poet. A Byzantine Greek by origin – he was born in 1453 as his family fled from the fall of Byzantium – he grew up in the little, but beautiful republic of Ragusa in the days of its glory. He was educated in Italy, in Ancona, and perhaps also in Venice and Padua. Then he became a soldier of fortune and fought in the Slavic countries and in Italy for various Italian states.
