Antonio de Lebrija and the Greek language
Abstract
The article tries to determine the knowledge of Greek language that Lebrija had. The study of the quotations in Greek, the transcriptions of Greek words and the glosses to Greek terms allows to conclude that Lebrija did not get to know the Greek language, but he had a large vocabulary of Greek words, learned both from Latin authors and from translations of technical works by Hellenic writers.
