In 1578 Florio published a See also:work entitled First Fruits, which yield See also:Familiar Speech, Merry See also:Proverbs, Witty Sentences, and See also:Golden Sayings (4to). This was accompanied by A Perfect See also:Induction to the Italian and English See also:Tongues. The work was dedicated to the earl of See also:Leicester. Three years later Florio was admitted a member of Magdalen College, and became a teacher of See also:French and Italian in the university.

James I., Florio was named French and Italian tutor to See also:Prince Henry, and afterwards became a See also:gentleman of the privy. chamber and clerk of the closet to the queen, whom he also instructed in See also:languages. His magnum See also:opus is the admirable See also:translation of the Essayes on Morall, Politike, and Millitarie Discourses of Lo. Michaell de See also:Montaigne, published in folio in 1603 in three books, each dedicated to two See also:noble ladies. A second edition in 1613 was dedicated to the queen. See also:Special See also:interest attaches to the first edition from the circumstance that of the several copies in the See also:British Museum library one bears the autograph of Shakespeare—long received as genuine but now supposed to be by an 18th-See also:century hand—and another that of See also:Ben See also:Jonson. It was suggested by See also:Warburton that Florio is satirized by See also:Shakespeare under the See also:character of Holofernes, the
pompous See also:pedant of Love's Labour's Last, but it is much more likely, especially as he was one of the earl of Southampton's proteges, that he was among the See also:personal See also:friends of the dramatist, who may well have gained his knowledge of Italian and French from him. He had married the See also:sister of the poet See also:Daniel, and had friendly relations with many writers of his See also:day. Ben Jonson sent him a copy of Volpone With the inscription, " To his loving father and worthy friend See also:Master See also:John Florio, Ben Jonson See also:seals this testimony of his friendship and love." He is characterized by Wood, in Athenae Oxonienses, as a very useful See also:man in his profession, zealous for his See also:religion, and deeply attached to his adopted See also:country. He died at See also:Fulham, London, in the autumn of 1625.
