See also:BOCCALINI, TRAJANO (1556-1613) , See also:Italian satirist, was See also:born at Loretto in 1556. The son of an architect, he himself adopted that profession, and it appears that he commenced See also:late in See also:life to apply to See also:literary pursuits. Pursuing his studies at See also:Rome, he had the See also:honour of teaching See also:Bentivoglio, and acquired the friendship of the cardinals Gaetano and See also:Borghesi, as well as of other distinguished personages. By their See also:influence he obtained various posts, and was even appointed by See also:- GREGORY

church. Here, however, he seems to have acted imprudently, and he was soon recalled to Rome, where he shortly afterwards composed his most important See also:work, the Ragguagli di Parnaso, in which See also:Apollo is represented as receiving the complaints of all who See also:present themselves, and distributing See also:justice according to the merits of each particular See also:case. The See also:book is full of See also:light and fantastic See also:satire on the actions and writings of his eminent contemporaries, and some of its happier hits are among the hackneyed felicities of literature. To See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape, it is said, from the hostility of those whom his shafts had wounded, he returned to See also:Venice, and there, according to the See also:register in the parochial church of Sta Maria See also:Formosa, died of See also:colic, accompanied with See also:fever, on the 16th of See also:November 1613. It was asserted, indeed, by contemporary writers that he had been beaten to See also:death with See also:sand-bags by a See also:band of See also:Spanish bravadoes, but the See also:story seems without See also:foundation. At the same 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, it is evident from the Pietra del Paragone, which appeared after his death in 1615, that whatever the feelings of the Spaniards towards him, he cherished against them feelings of the bitterest hostility. The only See also:government, indeed, which is exempt from his attacks is that of Venice, a See also:city for which he seems to have had a See also:special See also:affection.
The Ragguagli, first printed in 1612, has frequently been re-published. The Pietra has been translated into See also:French, See also:German, See also:English and Latin; the English translator was See also:- HENRY
