Giovanni Antonio Viperani

A learned humanist, Viperani achieved some early fame with a systematic treatise on the writing of history (De scribenda historia, 1569) and wrote numerous other works, always in Latin, over the subsequent three decades, on biography, providence, and virtue, among many others, as well as a volume of his own poems. In 1579 Viperani published his De poetica libri tres, dedicated to Philip II's Secretary of State, Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle. Shortly after the De poetica came a rhetoric and a commentary on Cicero's De Optimo Genere Oratorum (1581). Viperani's De scribenda historia was included in the Artis Historicae Penus of 1579. His writings were collected and published in 1605 in Naples.^[2]
