Politian

In our own day Hermolaus and Politian have rescued Latin from barbarism; and their services can never be forgotten.

Angelo Politian, an Italian, was one of the most polished writers of the fifteenth century.

Politian has some verses in his Miscellanea, but very bald, and full of false quantities.

In his Latin style, with the same fault as Politian, an affectation of obsolete words, he is less flexible and elegant.

Vives places him in dignity and grace of language even above Politian and Hermolaus.
