Description:
Italian classical scholar Olympia Fulvia Morata was fluent in Greek and Latin by the age of twelve. She lectured publicly on Cicero and Calvin as a teenager at court. A convert to Protestantism, she was one of the first women to be censored and included in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Morata studied philosophy and was an inspiration to such learned women as Elizabeth Jane Weston and Anna Maria von Schurman. This collection of her Greek letters and Latin dialogues was published after her early death at age twenty-nine.
