        the subject of one or other of the following articles, which cannot be done without
        supposing that there is some mistake as to his first name. If, as is likely, he is a
        different person, we may conjecture that he was one of the many Greek refugees who sought
        refuge in Italy on the capture of Constantinople by the Turks, or a Greek of Corfu, to which
        island we judge from the following article a branch of the Sophiani belonged. We may perhaps
        identify him with the Sophianus, a Greek, who translated into Latin, and addressed to Lelio
        del Valle, a work <title xml:lang="la">De Re Militari et de Militaribus
         Instrumentis,</title> which is extant in the MS. in the Medicean library at Florence, or
