Content: Complete Work

Bartolomeo Partenio, or Parthenius, (ca. 1450-1492), humanist. Partenio collaborated in the early 1480s with major Trevisan printers, contributing to editions of Livy, Strabo, and Thucydides. His most notable editorial work is the 1483 Latin version of Thucydides, based on Lorenzo Valla's translation and printed by Giovanni Rosso. Around 1484, Partenio moved to Rome, where he taught rhetoric at the Studium Urbis until his death. He was closely connected with members of the Roman humanist circle around Pomponio Leto and shared their philological and antiquarian interests, including epigraphic studies.

Editio princeps of Valla's translation, with revisions by Bartolomeo Partenio – see Valla 1452. With Partenio's Latin translation of Marcellinus' Vita Thucydidis. The translation was republished in twenty-seven printed editions – sometimes with substantial modifications – until 1884 (the fourth reprint of the Didot edition, revised by Haas).
