Gregory Tifernas
Gregory Tifernas (Greek: Γρηγόριος Τιφέρνας; Italian: Gregorio Tifernate; Cortona, 1414 – Venice, 1462) was a Greek Renaissance humanist from the Italian city of Città di Castello (Tifernum in Latin, whence his surname).
Biography[]
He studied the Greek Classics under Manuel Chrysoloras and was the first teacher of Greek in France at the University of Paris. It appears that he only stayed a short time in Paris but it proved long enough to train several students who would carry on his work. [1][2]
