Janus Pannonius ((ラテン語:Ioannes Pannonius), (クロアチア語:Ivan Česmički), (ハンガリー語:Csezmiczei János, or Kesencei); 29 August 1434, Čazma – 27 March 1472, Medvedgrad castle, nearby Zagreb)〔Di Peter G. Bietenholz, Thomas Brian Deutscher, Desiderius Erasmus, (''Contemporaries of Erasmus: A Biographical Register of the Renaissance and Reformation'' ), University of Toronto Press, 2003, pp. 233-234 ISBN 978-0-8020-8577-1〕 was a Croat-Hungarian Latinist, poet, diplomat and Bishop of Pécs. He was the most significant poet of the Renaissance in the Kingdom of Hungary and one of the better-known figures of Humanist poetry in Europe. ==Life== He was born in a small village near the Drava river in a corner of Slavonia. Janus's nationality has been debated among Croatian and Hungarian scholars and both ethnicities have claimed him.〔()〕 Janus’s father was a Croatian〔Ádám Makkai, (''In quest of the 'miracle stag': the poetry of Hungary : an anthology of Hungarian poetry in English translation from the 13th century to the present in commemoration of the 1100th anniversary of the foundation of Hungary and the 40th anniversary of the Hungarian Uprising of 1956'' ), University of Illinois Press, 1996, p. 41〕 whose social status and relation to the nobility is unclear.〔()〕 His mother, Borbála Vitéz, was Hungarian.〔 Borbála came from a lower-ranked noble family on her mother's side (the Garázda family,〔Tibor Kardos, Sándor V. Kovács, (Janus Pannonius ), Akadémiai Kiadó, 1975, p. 73〕 originally Bosnian〔http://www.kislexikon.hu/garazda.html〕 ancestry) and, on her father's side, she was originated from Pilis county (the "Vitéz" surname of her family is a latter name; they were originally called "Csévi").〔Vince Bunyitay, (A VÁRADI PÜSPÖKSÉG TÖRTÉNETE ALAPÍTÁSÁTÓL A JELENKORIG ), Nagyvárad, 1883〕 The Garázda family was related to the Szilágyi and Hunyadi families. She was the sister of Archbishop Vitéz. Pope Pius II wrote that Pannonius was of Slavonian origin (''de origine Slavonica''). His biographer and friend Vespasiano da Bisticci said that he was of Slavic nationality (''di nazione Schiavo''). According to Ronsano of Palermo, he was from Dalmatia (''di natione Dalmata''). M. Franičević, in citing Ronsano, notes that many Italians saw all “Croats” as Dalmatians. Ludovik Tuberon Crijević, writing of Pannonius, says that he was born a Slav (''genere itidem Sclavenum'') in that part of interior Dalmatia that lies between the Sava and Drava rivers.〔()〕 Pannonius was brought up by his mother; in 1447 his uncle sent him to Italy for a humanist schooling. He attended the School of Guarino da Verona at Ferrara, where the pupils were educated in Latin and Greek authors under the guidance of a noted teacher of the Italian Renaissance. The boy was considered the brightest pupil of his generation by both his teachers and fellow-students. He wrote poetry according to the rules of classical prosody; he was around thirteen when he wrote his first epigrams. His higher education was completed at the University of Padua in canon law. After making an educational tour of Rome, he returned to Hungary in 1458, the year of Matthias’s accession to the throne. For a time, he worked at the Royal Chancery, and soon was appointed as the Bishop of Pécs and later Vice-Chancellor of the country. Janus Pannonius was an influential intellectual in the kingdom; he kept his connections with some of the leading philosophers of his time. He also collected a significant library of humanist works (probably dispersed in 1526). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Janus Pannonius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
