1557 1ed Witekind Lives
Caesars Suda Byzantine ROME Latin Melanchthon Wittenberg
Little is known of
Hermann Witekind other than that he studied with Melanchthon in Wittenberg. At
the suggestion of Melanchthon, Witekind set to translating the Greek
encyclopedia, the ‘Suda’. This work, attributed to an author named Soudas,
covers the lives of important Roman and Byzantine rulers. According to
Knight, this encyclopedia was
“the most important
Greek lexicon or encyclopedia – one of the most valuable documents of Greek
philology, grammar, and literary history.”
