Biography

Gennadius Scholarius Biography Scholarius is believed to have been born as Georgios in Constantinople in c. 1400. His abecedary was Mark of Ephesus (d. 1444). Following his tutelage under the famous John Chortasmenos ("didaskalos" of the Patriarchal School), Manuel-Mark might have then recommended him to study under his own previous master, Georgios Gemistus Pletho (d. 1452/1454), c. 1428. However, his studies under Pletho are a matter of speculation and, at any rate, would have been more likely attendance at Pletho's lectures at Mistra. Scholarius had been a teacher of philosophy before entering the service of the emperor John VIII Palaeologus

Girolamo Bartei Girolamo Bartei (c. 1570 – c. 1618) was an Italian composer of sacred music in the early Baroque.
He was general of the Augustin order of monks at Rome in the beginning of the seventeenth century. From two somewhat obscure passages in Giuseppe Baini's 'Memorie' we gather that he published at Rome in 1618 some masses for eight voices, some ricercari for two voices, and two books of concerti for two voices. To these François-Joseph Fétis adds some 'Responsoria' for four equal voices, printed at Venice in 1607.
