Andronicus Callistus

Andronicus Callistus

Andronicus Callistus was one of the most able Greek scholars of the 15th century.

Born in Thessalonica he worked as a professor in Rome, Bologna, Florence and Paris, although he also traveled extensively in northern Europe and eventually died in the Kingdom of England in 1476.

Among his works is a defence of Theodore of Gaza's positions against the criticisms of Michael Apostolius ("Andronicus Callistus Defensio Theodori Gazae adversus Michaelem Apostolium").
