Girolamo Francesco Zanetti
Girolamo Francesco Zanetti (* 1713 in Venice , † December 16, 1782 in Padua ) was an Italian antiquarian, philologist, numismatist and historian.
Zanetti acquired a very good knowledge of the ancient languages early on, and also dealt with archeology and numismatics . He was a professor of law as well as Greek and Latin at the University of Padua . His first work was published in 1750, a numismatic work that immediately made him famous. In 1765 he was the first to publish one of the oldest chronicles of Venice, the work of Johannes Diaconus , which he called Chronicon Venetum .

Remarks
- ↑ Lessing assumed that he had been the librarian of the Biblioteca Marciana , but this was his brother Antonio Maria Zanetti (1723–1782); Wilfried Barner (Ed.): Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Works and letters in twelve volumes. Volume 10, Deutscher Klassiker Verlag, Berlin 2001, p. 1286.
- ↑ Girolamo Francesco Zanetti: Dell'origine e della antichita della moneta viniziana ragionamento. Venice 1750.
- ↑ The title of the work is unclear. The chronicle was called Chronicon Altinate , Chronicon Venetum or Istoria Veneticorum , but also as Chronica Veneta , until the authorship of Johannes Diaconus found general recognition as Sagornina . The situation with the underlying manuscripts is just as difficult.
