In 1524 Julius Caesar Scaliger moved to France where he became physician to bishop Antonio della Rovere of Agen, and where his son Joseph Justus was born in 1540, the same year in which his 'De causis linguae latinae libri tredecim' was published. This book is among his most important philological works. § Scaliger published collections of his Neo-Latin poetry in 1533 and 1546. He considered the mastery of Latin composition not as a pastime, but as the scholar's most valuable skill. In 1574 his son Josephus Justus produced a new edition of his father's collected poetry during his stay at Geneva, where he took refuge because of the French wars of religion and St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre (1572). Here he delivered public lectures and tutored students, and met fellow humanists, Beza, Henricus Stephanus et alii, all interested in or writing Neo-Latin poetry.) (Provenance: On the front flyleaf: 'Ad usum D. Romanus Merighij Camald.sis'. This is Don Romanus Merighius (Romano Merighi), born near Imola in 1658, head (procurator generalis) of the Camaldolese Order, the 'Ordo Camaldulensium', a monastic community that traces its lineage to a monastic movement begun by Saint Romuald. Their name is derived from the Holy Hermitage, Sacro Eremo, Camaldoli, near Arezzo. Because of the colour of their habit they are called 'White Benedictines'. Romanus was a theologian, but he also earned fame as a prominent vernacular poet. He is known for the Idyll in Toscan 'Nesso e Logilde'. He died in 1737. His portrait can be found via Google, search for "Porträtsammlung" and "ÖNB", then Schnellsuche: "Merighi". A useful article on Merighi in 'Centifolium Camaldulense, Sive Notatia Scriptorum Camaldulensium', by M. Ziegelbaur, Venice 1750, p. 69/71) (Collation: *4, a-z8, A-S8, T4 (leaf T4 verso blank)
