Guarino, Battista (1434-1503)

Italian humanist scholar and educator. He was the son of Guarino da Verona and he followed his father's footsteps in his native Ferrara, teaching Greek to scholars who came to him from as far afield as Germany and England. Of his pupils, the one who probably had the greatest impact on Renaissance Greek studies was the publisher Aldus Manutius.

In 1459 he wrote the treatise De ordine docendi et studendi which embodies his father's ideas on the teaching and studying of classical languages. His Poemata appeared in 1496. He also translated several works.
