Talk:Matteo Palmieri

Renaissance scholar in the house?
Having corrected the sentence "He also was among the earliest to recognize differences between the Classical age of Greece and Rome and the European Middle Ages" for grammar, I must now question its factual basis. Is this so? Who says? Axel 16:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Heresy?
"The poem was unpublished in his lifetime, and upon its appearance in print was condemned by the Church as heretical, thus after his death Palmieri's body was removed from the Church of San Pier Maggiore and an effigy of him was burned." - cited to "Palmieri, Matteo" in the Encyclopedia of the Renaissance.

A Descriptive and historical catalogue of the pictures in the National Gallery from 1906 says after inquisition the book was declared innocuous, but by then "inaccurate and extravagant reports" of Palmieri's heresy had spread widely. "For a minute account of the posthumous persecution of the author, and the circumstances which attended it, see Padre Gius Richa, Notizie istoriche delle Chiese foirentine, etc., Firenese, 1754, Tom. I. Lezione XI, and for a more recent survey of the whole question, an article by Diego Angelu in the Archivio Storico deli' Arte for 1896, p. 58."

I know nothing about it myself. Is there any question the work was condemned as heretical? Tom Harrison Talk 01:24, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Where was he originally buried?
The article states that Palmieri was originally buried in San Pier Maggiore. That wikipage used to redirect to San Pier Maggiore, Pistoia and is now a DAB page which covers San Pier Maggiore, Florence as well.

As a Florentine I would guess that he was buried in the later, but I guess wikipedia isn't the place for guessing, so could anyone that knows or has access to the cited source check/clarify - either here for me to change, or in the article?
