Julius Caesar Scaliger and his son Joseph Scaliger—giants of humanist scholarship, from the Poetices to ancient inscriptions—were entangled in forgery: the father invented a noble genealogy and the son defended it in a world where even illustrious learning could use a noble pedigree.

De nazaten van Scaliger hebben besloten de talen in het Rapenburg te gooien.

My favourite renaissance biographies are: “This straightman loved his life science so much, he never married. He spent the last 30 years of his life doing science and living with his hot, young boyfriend.”

5 Aug 1540: b. Joseph Justus Scaliger, chronologer, #Protestant, whose work deeply influenced Archbishop James Ussher's chronology and the latter's conclusion that the world was created in 4004BC. It seems odd now, but it was very fine textual and scholarly work for the period.
