Lucianus, c. A.D. 120-180, Greek satirist of Samosata. The first edition of his works (of which his
True History suggested the
Gulliver’s Travels
of Swift, the
Voyage of Pantagruel
of Rabelais, and the
Journey to the Moon
of Cyrano de Bergerac) was printed in Florence in 1496. In this edition of 1563 the editors made use of the translations
of Erasmus, Sir Thomas More, Jacob Molsheym and Vincent Opsopaeus.
