Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALE : Alessandro Alessandri

Alessandro Alessandri (1461‑1523) was an Italian jurist. Born in Naples, he studied law and served as an advocate for Naples and Rome. Later, disenfranchised by what he saw as a corrupt administration, he began studying philology and antiquities. He compiled a book called Dies Geniales, constructed after the model of the Noctes Atticae of Aulus Gellius, and the Saturnalia of Macrobius. It comprises a nonsequential listing of items related to philology, antiquities, law, dreams, etc.
