Jacopo d'Angelo
Giacomo or Jacopo d'Angelo,〔His name is variously given as Giacomo Angeli da Scarperia, Giacomo d'Angelo da Scarperia, Jacopo Angeli, Jacopo d'Angelo da Scarperia, Jacopo di Angelo da Scarperia, Jacopo Angeli de Scarperia, Iacopo Angeli da Scarperia, &c.〕 better known by his Latin name Jacobus Angelus, was an Italian scholar and humanist during the Renaissance. Named for the village of Scarperia in the Mugello in the Republic of Florence, he traveled to Venice where Manuel Palaeologus's ambassador Manuel Chrysoloras was teaching Greek, the first such course in Italy for several centuries. Da Scarperia returned with Chrysoloras to Constantinople (Istanbul)—the first Florentine to do so—along with Guarino da Verona. In the Byzantine Empire, he studied Greek literature and history under Demetrios Kydones.〔John Edwin Sandys, ''A History of Classical Scholarship'' 1908:II, 19.〕 Coluccio Salutati wrote to urge Da Scarperia to search the libraries there, particularly for editions of Homer and Greek dictionaries, with the result that he translated Ptolemy's ''Geography'' into Latin in 1406. He first dedicated it to Pope Gregory IX and then (in 1409) to Pope Alexander V.〔Thorndike 1923:81f〕 He also brought new texts of Homer, Aristotle, and Plato to the attention of western scholars.
== Early life and early education ==
Jacopo d'Angelo was born in the town of Scarperia. Legal documents from this time show his full name to be “Iacobus Angeli Lippi Sostegni". Sostegni, therefore, was his surname but he went by Angeli. His exact date of birth is not known, but scholars place it around 1360. This date of birth is based on an observation made by d' Angelo's contemporary, Leonardo Bruni. Bruni, who was born in 1369 notes in his ''Commentarius ''that d’Angelo, was much older than him. Scarperia was a Florentine fortress in the Mugello, a region in northeastern Tuscany. It was a stronghold that protected against the feudal might of the Ubaldini, a powerful family who dominated the area during this time.
There is not much known about d’Angelo’s earliest years; this also applies to his family. What is known is that he was quite young when his father, Angelo, died. After his father's death, his mother soon remarried. She relocated to Florence with her new husband and took young d’Angelo with her. It was in Florence where d’Angelo would start his education. There he would meet two people that would be very influential in his life. The first was Coluccio Salutati, who took an interest in d'Angelo and became his mentor. It was through Salutati’s that d'Angelo began his study of the humanities. Also, it is very likely that Salutati advised d'Angelo to start school under the tutelage of Giovanni Malpaghini, a teacher at the Florentine Studio (University).
