Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Galeni Pergamensis De Temperamentis, Et De Inaequali Intemperie, Vol. 3: Opus Non Medicis Modo, Sed Et Philosophis Oppido Quam Necessariu Nunc Primum Prodit in Lucem Cum Gratia Et Privilegio
The time of Linacre's residence at Oxford was one of much moment in the history of the University, already stirred by the earliest movements of the revival of learning. The first Oxford printing press was already issuing those few volumes, now become so rare, which must have been of startling interest to the world of scholars. The study of the new learning, Greek, had been introduced by Cornelio Vitali, an Italian, said to have been the first teacher of that language in England, and it is stated that Linacre became his pupil. At the same time he doubtless formed the acquaintance of two scholars who shared his devotion to the 'new learning, ' William Grocyn and William Latimer, the former of whom survived to form part, with Linacre himself, of the brilliant circle of Oxford scholars, who a few years later excited the admiration of Erasmus.
