Bernardo Davanzati
Bernardo Davanzati was an Italian agronomist, economist and translator.
Davanzati was major translator of Tacitus. He also attempted the concision of Tacitus in his own Italian prose, taking a motto Strictius Arctius reflecting his ambition.
He wrote on economics as a metallist. His works included Notizie dei cambi and Lezione delle monete.
His Scisma d'Inghilterra was first published in 1602 in Rome. It was a concise version of a work of Girolamo Pollini, on the English Reformation, which itself was dependent on a Latin work of 1585 written by Nicholas Sander and Edward Rishton. John Milton used its imprimaturs as an illustration on his Areopagitica.
