| Found in | Lo sguardo ad Oriente, 2019: title page (Antonio Raineri Biscia) front cover flap (1780-1839; from an aristocratic family in the Tuscan-Romagna region, dedicated throughout his life to languages and culture of the Orient, from the Mediterranean to Persia; also proficient in European languages) text (born in Villa Salto (Predappio) and died in Dovadola [near Predappio]; as a young man, traveled extensively in the Middle East and North Africa; taught Oriental languages at University of Pisa; translator of numerous manuscripts originally written in Arabic, Persian, and other languages, many from the Laurentian Library in Florence) Dizionario biografico degli Italiani: (Raineri Biscia, Antonio: [his] interests ranged in various directions, following personal curiosities and occasions. An overall judgment on his work cannot be separated from the small number of works that have come to publication, which also made mention of his work scarce in the context of subsequent Oriental studies. His most solid language skills seem to be concentrated in Arabic, from whose language he produced the most significant legacy with the Italian version of Ahmad Teifascite's work) |
