MUSURUSi MARCUS, in Biography, a modern Greek, was born in the ifle of Crete about the year 14S1 ; from thence lie went to Italy, where he Itudied under the learned John Latcaris, and by an almofl inceffant application he acquired a thorough knowledge of Greek and Latin litera- ture. In the Latin he was thought by Erafmns to be better (killed than almoft any other Greek, :cepting his preceptor, and Theodore Gaza. From 1^03 to 1509, he was Greek profeffor in the univerfity of Padua, where his falary was trifling, and his labour very great. When the univerfity of Padua was broken up by the wars, Mufurus went to Venice, where he publicly taught Greek many years to a numerous audience with great applaufe. At the fame time he aflifled Aldus Manutius in his editions of the Greek writers, many of which he corrected, prefixing to them Greek epigrams or prefaces of his own compofition. Of thefe, his elegy prefixed to the Aldine edition of Plato, in 1513, is the moft celebrated. In 1516, he was invited to Rome by Leo XL, who prefented him with the arch- bifhopric of Mai valla, but he enjoyed this dignity only a fhort time. He died in the following year, at the early age of thirty-fix, juft at the period when the higheft expecta- tions were entertained by the learned of his future fervices in the caufe of literature. Of his epigrams, feveral have been publifhed, with his Encomium of Plato. MUT, in Geogr
