Editing Constantine Lascaris (section)

==Work==
The ''Grammatica'', which has often been reprinted (including the famous [[Aldus Manutius|Manuzio]]'s edition of 1494–1495 with the [[The golden verses of Pythagoras|''Golden Verses'']] of [[Pythagoras]]), is the most valuable work produced by Lascaris. In 1499 at Messina he published the ''Vitae illustrium philosophorum siculorum et calabrorum'', with the first Renaissance biography of Pythagoras. Some of his letters are given by [[Johannes Iriarte]] in the ''Regiae Bibliothecae Matritensis codices Graeci manuscripti'' (Madrid, 1769). His name was later known to readers in the romance of [[Abel-François Villemain]], ''Lascaris, ou les Grecs du quinzieme siècle'' (1825). See also [[John Edwin Sandys]], ''Hist. Class. Schol.'', ed. 2, vol. ii (1908), pp.&nbsp;76 foll.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}}
