Mario Nizolio
Marius Nizolius ( it, Mario Nizolio; 1498–1576) was an Italian humanist scholar, known as a proponent of Cicero. He considered rhetoric to be the central intellectual discipline, slighting other aspects of the philosophical tradition. He is described by Michael R. Allen as the heir to the oratorical vision of Lorenzo Valla, and a better nominalist. Life He was born in Brescello. He was professor of philosophy at Parma and Sabbioneta. Works His major work was the ''Thesaurus Ciceronianus'', first published in 1535 in Brixen but not under this title, and running into many further editions.

His ''Antibarbarus philosophicus'' (original title ''De veris principiis et vera ratione philosophandi contra psudophilosophos'', Parma, 1553) was edited by Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm (von) Leibniz . ...
