Bernardo Davanzati

Bernardo Davanzati (; 31 August 1529 – 29 March 1606) was an Italian agronomist, economist and translator. Davanzati was a major translator of Tacitus. He also attempted the concision of Tacitus in his own Italian prose, taking a motto ''Strictius Arctius'' reflecting his ambition. The writings of Davanzati are still models of style.
