Bastiano de Rossi (nickname: l'Inferigno , "the indomitable"; * probably 1556 in San Casciano in Val di Pesa , Toscana ; † 1627 in Florence ) was an Italian writer and lexicographer.
Life
In the autograph manuscript of a lecture from 1596, Rossi states that he is 40 years old. He died before April 9, 1627, the date of his burial. More precise dates of life are not known. He was born in San Casciano in Val di Pesa , Toscana .
Rossi was a friend of Leonardo Salviati and co-founder of the Accademia della Crusca (founded in Florence in 1585 as a scientific society for the promotion of the Italian language). As secretary of the Accademia della Crusca, he edited the first edition from 1612 and the second from 1623 of the Vocabolario published by the Accademia in Florence and printed in Venice .
In connection with his work in the Accademia, Bastiano got into a heated argument with Torquato Tasso , against whose Gerusalemme liberata he polemicized. Bastiano was u. a. also the Italian teacher of Ludwig I von Anhalt-Köthen , whom he introduced as the first German member to the Accademia della Crusca, after which Ludwig co-founded the Fruitful Society in Weimar in 1617 and was elected head.
Works
Bastiano was the author of poems as well as the Lettera a Flamino Manuelli nella quale si ragiona del Dialogo di Torquato Tasso and the Descrizione dell'apparato e degli intermedi fatti per la commedia rappresentata in Firenze, nelle nozze de 'Serenissimi Don Ferdinando Medici e di Madama Cristina di Loreno. (Firenze 1585).
