Of those writers who professedly treat of the restoration of the Greek learning in Italy, the two principal are Hodius, Dr. Humphrey Hody (de Graecis Illustribus, Linguae Graecae Literarumque humaniorum Instauratoribus; Londini, 1742, in large octavo), and Tiraboschi (Istoria della Letteratura Italiana, tom. v. p. 364 - 377, tom. vii. p. 112 - 143). The Oxford professor is a laborious scholar, but the librarian of Modema enjoys the superiority of a modern and national historian.
