Girolamo Aleandro the Younger (1574–1629)

Aleandro, Girolamo, the Younger (äl-ā-än’drō). An Italian poet and antiquary; born in Friuli, 1574; died in Rome, 1629. His ‘Tears of Penitence,’ a series of odes, was completed when he was sixteen years old. A later work is the ‘Penitential Psalms’; but the most solid memorial of his talent is a volume on ‘Ancient Marble Tablets.’
