Bernardo Davanzati (1529 – 1606) 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.[1][2]
He wrote on economics as a metallist.[3] His works included Notizie dei cambi (1582) and Lezione delle monete (1588).[4]
His Scisma d'Inghilterra was first published in 1602 in Rome. It was a concise version of a work of , 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 (from the 1638 edition) as an illustration on his Areopagitica.[5][6][7]
