Enoch of Ascoli

    0.04 sec.

Enoch of Ascoli (c. 1400-c. 1457)

Italian humanist teacher and searcher for classical texts. He became tutor to the sons of Cosimo de'Medici. Pope Nicholas V entrusted to Enoch investigations for classical manuscripts, first in the Middle East and then in northern Europe (Denmark, Norway, and Germany). Among the prizes he brought back was the only known copy of Tacitus' minor works.

Enoch was born near Piceno and was educated by Filelfo. In the 1440s he lectured in Perugia, then in Rome.
