Angelo Canini (Angelus Canisius) (1521—1557) was an Italian grammarian, linguist and scholar from Anghiari.

Life

His first publication was Book II of the commentary of Alexander of Aphrodisias on the De anima of Aristotle (Venice 1546). In the same year he translated the commentary on the De mixtione, and the commentary of Simplicius on the Enchiridion of Epictetus.

He published an edition of Aristophanes at Venice in 1548 (Aristophanes Comoediae Undecim, Giovanni Griffio).

He wrote an Aramaic grammar, published in 1554,[1], and taught Hebrew in Paris in the 1550s.[2][3] At Paris he taught Greek to Dudithius;[4] reportedly he was at the Collège de Cambrai. In 1555 he published in Paris a Greek grammar, Hellenismus (Ellenismos).[5]

He died in the Auvergne, France.[6]
