Francesco Filelfo

Francesco Filelfo (Latin: Franciscus Philelphus), born on 25 July 1398 and dead on 31 July 1481, was an Italian Renaissance humanist. He is the author of the philosophic dialogue On Exile. Open Library describes him in a single line as an Italian Renaissance humanist, counts eighty-two works under his record and lists his Epistolae familiares first, a reminder that the humanists of his age left much of their writing in the form of letters. The record also links to his English Wikipedia article and to authority files such as VIAF and the Library of Congress. He wrote in Latin as well as Italian.
