See also:GIROLAMO (1450-1486) , younger See also:brother of See also:Paolo, had a notable See also:history . After he had studied See also:medicine at See also:Padua public suspicion was roused against him in connexion with the See also:death of a See also:lady with whom he had had some love passages, and this ran so high that he was See also:fain, by help of his brother Paolo, to whom he transferred his See also:property, to make his See also:escape (about 1481-1483) to See also:Syria and to take up his See also:abode at See also:Damascus . In 1486 he removed to Beyrout, and died the same See also:year, killed, as the See also:family chronicler relates, by a surfeit of " certain See also:fruit that we See also:call armellini and albicocche, but which in that See also:country are known as mazzafranchi," a See also:title which See also:English sailors in See also:southern regions still give to apricots in the See also:vernacular See also:paraphrase of killjohns . During his stay in Syria See also:Girolamo studied Arabic and made a new See also:translation of See also:Avicenna, or rather, we may assume, of some See also:part of that author's medical See also:works (the See also:Canon?) . It was, however, by no means the first such translation, as is erroneously alleged in the See also:Rimini inscription, for the Canon had been translated by See also:Gerard of See also:Cremona (d . 1187), and this version was frequently issued from the See also:early See also:press . Girolamo's translation was never printed, but was used by editors of versions published at See also:Venice in 1579 and r6o6 . |
