Excerpt from Ortensio Lando, Vol. 20: A Humorist of the Renaissance

Italy was in a disturbed condition, and his youth was passed in the profession of arms. He served under Pozzo da Perego and many other leaders, and attained at least the rank of captain.

This attempt to trace in detail the career of Lando would not have been made but for the encouragement of Mr. Richard Copley Christie, the biographer of Etienne Dolet, who with great liberality allowed the use of his rare books and bibliographical notes. Scholars must deeply regret that Mr. Christie has not accomplished his work on the Types of the later Renaissance,' since no other can claim the same knowledge of humanism and its literature. In this work Lando would have been taken as the type of the humorist - a classification here adopted.
