Henry of Settimello
Henry of Settimello (in Latin, Henricus Septimellensis or Henricus Pauper; in Italian, Arrigo or Arrighetto da Settimello) was a late 12th-century Italian poet. He was the author of De diversitate fortunae et philosophiae consolatione ("On varying fortune and the consolation of philosophy"), a Latin poem in elegiac couplets. His Latin nickname (meaning "Henry the poor") is linked with a story that he could not afford paper and was forced to write his poems on old animal skins.
