Mariangelo Accorso

Mariangelo Accorso or Accursio (Latin: Mariangelus Accursius; 1489 or 1490 – 1544 or 1546) was an Italian writer and critic.

Not to be confused with Accursius.

Biography

He was born at L'Aquila (Abruzzo), then part of the Kingdom of Naples.[1]

He was a great favourite with Charles V, at whose court he resided for thirty-three years, and by whom he was employed on various foreign missions. To a perfect knowledge of Greek and Latin he added an intimate acquaintance with several modern languages. In discovering and collating ancient manuscripts, for which his travels abroad gave him special opportunities, he displayed uncommon diligence. His work entitled Diatribae in Ausonium, Solinum et Ovidium (1524) is a monument of erudition and critical skill. He was the first editor of the Letters of Cassiodorus, with his Treatise on the Soul (1538); and his edition of Ammianus Marcellinus (1533) contains five books more than any former one. The affected use of antiquated terms, introduced by some of the Latin writers of that age, is humorously ridiculed by him, in a dialogue in which an Oscan, a Volscian and a Roman are introduced as interlocutors (1531). Accorso was accused of plagiarism in his notes on Ausonius, a charge which he most solemnly and energetically repudiated.[1]

gollark: Huh, in that case I may actually be running your code.
gollark: This is in the reactor planner, not the mod itself.
gollark: I mean, it seems to be making it only actually work if there are no fuel cells? This makes no sense.
gollark: ```csharp public void UpdateStats() { if (FindAdjacentFuelCells() == 0) { HeatGenerationPerTick = Reactor.usedFuel.BaseHeat * Configuration.Fission.HeatGeneration; Reactor.totalHeatPerTick += HeatGenerationPerTick; Active = false; } else { HeatGenerationPerTick = 0; Active = true; }}```
gollark: I'm looking at the code for it and have absolutely no idea how or why it works.
