Andronicus Contoblacas

Andronicus Contoblacas was a Greek Renaissance humanist and scholar. Contobacles originated from Constantinople and left after the Ottoman Empire conquered the city. He first travelled to Venice, Italy. From 1458 and 1465 an Andronikos from Constantinople is mentioned as a lecturer in humanist studies at the University of Bologna. He taught Greek to students of the University of Basel, staying at the dorm of Hieronymus Berlin. The last notion from Contobacles is a letter to Reuchlin, in which he encourages him to become a teacher for Greek language himself.
