Petrus Nannius (also Pieter Nanninck, b. 1496, Alkmaar - d. 1557) was a Dutch poet, accomplished Latin scholar and humanist of the 16th century.[1] A contemporary of Desiderius Erasmus, he was born in Alkmaar and was an important figure in the humanism of the time, having provided a foundation with his teaching for the later flowering of humanism in the region.[2]

We first hear of Nannius teaching in Gouda, South Holland. His appointment here is considered a turning point in the humanism of Gouda, in that the humanistic spirit was being found less inside monasteries, and more in public, secular life.[3] In 1539, Nannius succeeded Conrad Goclenius as Latin teacher at the Collegium Trilingue,[1] where he taught renowned intellectuals of the age such as Jacques De Crucque. Nannius was described by Flemish humanist Justus Lipsius as the first person to introduce a love of letters in the Collegium Trilingue.[4] Nannius served in this capacity from 1539 to his death in 1557.[5]

Works

Nannius was also a writer who wrote a commentary on the Ars Poetica of Horace, and saw in it many similarities to Menippean satire.[6] He translated the works of many Greek authors, including Aeschines, Plutarch, and Athanasius.[7] He also produced ten books of critical and explanatory Miscellanea, and commentaries on the Eclogues and Georgics of Virgil.[4]
