He studied at Venice, where he became acquainted with See also:Erasmus and Aldus See also:Manutius, and at an See also:early See also:age was reputed one of the most learned men of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time. In 1508 he went to See also:Paris on the invitation of See also:- LOUIS

- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XII. as See also:professor of belles lettres, and held for a time the position of See also:rector in the university. Entering the service of See also:Eberhard, See also:prince-See also:bishop of See also:Liege, he was sent by that See also:prelate on a See also:mission to See also:Rome, where See also:Pope See also:Leo X. retained him, giving him (1519) the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of librarian of the Vatican. In the following See also:year he went to See also:Germany to be See also:present as papal See also:nuncio at the See also:coronation of See also:Charles V., and was also present at the See also:diet of See also:Worms, where he headed the opposition to See also:Luther, advocating the most extreme See also:measures to repress the doctrines of the reformer. His conduct evoked the fiercest denunciations of Luther, but it also displeased more moderate men and especially Erasmus. The See also:edict against the reformer, which was finally adopted by the See also:emperor and the diet, was See also:drawn up and proposed by Aleandro. After the See also:close of the diet the papal nuncio went to the See also:Netherlands; where he kindled the flames of persecution, two monks of See also:Antwerp, the first martyrs of the See also:Reformation, being burnt in See also:Brussels at his instigation. In 1523 See also:Clement VII., having appointed him See also:archbishop of See also:Brindisi and See also:Oria, sent him as nuncio to the See also:court of See also:Francis I. He was taken prisoner along with that monarch at the See also:battle of See also:Pavia (1525), and was released only on See also:payment of a heavy See also:ransom. He was subsequently employed on various papal See also:missions, especially to Germany, but was unsuccessful in preventing the See also:German princes from making a truce with the reformers, or in checking to any extent the progress of the new doctrines. He was created cardinal in 1536 by See also:Paul III. (at thesame time as Reginald See also:Pole) And died at Rome on the 1st of February 1542.
Aleandro compiled a See also:Lexicon Graeco-Latinum (Paris, 1512), and wrote Latin See also:verse of considerable merit inserted in M. Tuscanus's Carmina Illustrium. Poetarum Italiorum. The Vatican library contains a See also:volume of See also:manuscript letters and other documents written by him in connexion with his various missions against Luther. They were utilized by See also:Pallavicino in his Istoria del Concilio Tridentine (i. 23-28), whoegivesa very partial See also:account of the Worms See also:conference.
Aleandro, who is sometimes called "the See also:elder," must be distinuished from his See also:grand-See also:nephew, also called Girolamo Aleandro ((1594-1629). . The younger Aleandro was a very distinguished See also:scholar, and wrote Psalmi poenitentiales versibus elegiacis expressi (Treves, 1593), Gaii, veterie See also:juris consulti Institutionum fragments, cum commentario (Venice, 1600), Explicatio veteris tabulae marmorcae sons effigie symbolisque exculptae (Rome, 1616).
