Zacharias Calliergi
Zacharias Calliergi ( el, Ζαχαρίας Καλλιέργης, Zacharias Kalliergēs) was a Greek Renaissance humanist and scholar. He was born in Crete, then a Venetian colony, but emigrated to Rome at a young age. In 1499 he helped bring out the ''Etymologicum Magnum'' in Venice and in 1515 he set up a printing press where he published exclusively Greek volumes, among them the first Greek book printed in Rome, Pindar's ''Epinikion'' ("Victory Odes"). He also instituted the (''Gymnasium Caballini Montis'') where lectures were given, by among others, eminent fellow Cretan scholar Marcus Musurus and Janus Lascaris. In 1499, he established himself in Venice, along with Nicolaos Vlastos, also a Cretan, the first Greek-owned printing press. Their publishing production wasn’t restricted only to the Greek public but generally to the humanistic public of their era. Also the financial support by Anna Notaras contributed to the 'imperial decoration' of the publications. The prin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Typos Zacharias Calliergi
A typographical error (often shortened to typo), also called a misprint, is a mistake (such as a spelling mistake) made in the typing of printed (or electronic) material. Historically, this referred to mistakes in manual type-setting (typography). Technically, the term includes ''errors due to mechanical failure'' or slips of the hand or finger, but excludes ''errors of ignorance'', such as spelling errors, or changing and misuse of words such as "than" and "then". Before the arrival of printing, the "copyist's mistake" or "scribal error" was the equivalent for manuscripts. Most typos involve simple duplication, omission, transposition, or substitution of a small number of characters. "Fat Finger", or "Fat-Finger Syndrome" ( also used in financial sectors), a slang term, refers to an unwanted secondary action when typing. When one's finger is bigger than the touch zone, there can be inaccuracy in the fine motor movements and accidents may occur. This is common with touchscreens. O ...

Arsenios Of Monemvasia
Arsenius Apostolius ( el, Ἀρσένιος Ἀποστόλιος or Ἀρσένιος Ἀποστόλης; c. 1468 – 1538) was a Greek scholar who lived for a long time in Venice. He was also bishop of Monemvasia in the Peloponnese. Life Arsenius Apostolius was born about 1468 in Crete and in 1492 he moved to Italy. He was the son of Michael Apostolius and grandson of Theodosius, count of Corinth (''Theodosios Komis Korinthios''). His first name of birth is Aristobulus (Ἀριστόβουλος) and he took the name of Arsenius at the moment of his adherence to the episcopate (which is a conduit of former authors to avoid of committing the mistake of distinguishing two "brothers", Aristobulus and Arsenius. Like his father, Apostolius was reduced to poverty after the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks (1453), and he earned his living by copying manuscripts: about fifty are attributed to him, of which only three are dated, the oldest being from 31 March 1489.

Kallergis Family
The Kallergis family ( el, Καλλέργης) is a Cretan Greek aristocratic family which claims descent from Byzantine Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas, and were at one stage the most powerful noblemen of Crete. Origin According to later tradition, Emperor Alexios II Komnenos sent twelve noble Byzantine families to Crete, in order to strengthen the ties between the island and Constantinople. The families were credited important land and administrative privileges. Ioannis Phokas was one of those 12 Byzantine rulers. The Phokas name changed to "Kallergis" during the Venetian dominion over Crete, which began in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade. As Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi describes in his book ''An idea conquers the world'' the Kallergis name is composed of the Greek word ''kalon'' (=beautiful) and ''ergon'' (from ergō="work, task, deed, accomplishment, or purpose") _Καλλέργης,_known_in_many_versions_as_Kalergis,_Calergis,_Kallergi,_Callergi,_Calergi.html" ; ...

The 16th century begins with the Julian year 1501 ( MDI) and ends with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 ( MDC) (depending on the reckoning used; the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The 16th century is regarded by historians as the century which saw the rise of Western civilization and the Islamic gunpowder empires. The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science.

In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period.
