Abstract

A person whose occurrence in Florence helped immensely to direct the existing humanism from its original rhetorician emphasis was not Pleto, but byzantine professor John Argiropoulos, who later chaired a Greek philosophy at Studium in Florence (1456-71). His career may be divided into three large phases. The first stage is insufficiently known due to a lack of resources, and took place in Constantinople, where he taught for decade or more before the fall of the Byzantine capital into Turkish hands in 1453. The second phase, considerably longer and more important for the Italian Renaissance, represents Argiropoulos as a lecturer employed in Florence, at the time when this city was at the height of its fame as a humanistic center. A third phase is actually a short period of his stay in Rome, where he taught for several years at the university and where he eventually died.
