Curione’s activity in Basel as professor and editor of classical texts is connected with his engagement in the Reformation. He was interested in Greek and Roman historians and in Cicero’s rhetorical works. The edition of Cicero’s Philippics is remarkable for Curione’s political ideas both in the dedication to Edward VI and in the oratio to humanissimi auditores. An unpublished letter of 25 November 1552 seems to reveal Curione’s intention to go to England thanks to Bullinger and Cheke’s support.

Abstract
Curione’s activity in Basel as professor and editor of classical texts is connected with his engagement in the Reformation. He was interested in Greek and Roman historians and in Cicero’s rhetorical works. The edition of Cicero’s Philippics is remarkable for Curione’s political ideas both in the dedication to Edward VI and in the oratio to humanissimi auditores. An unpublished letter of 25 November 1552 seems to reveal Curione’s intention to go to England thanks to Bullinger and Cheke’s support.File in questo prodotto:
