Stefano Fieschi

Stefano Fieschi (Latin Stephanus Fliscus or Philiscus) of Soncino, was a 15th-century Italian scholar, episcopal secretary, and pedagogue.

Biography Fliscus was a student of the famous rhetorician Gasparino Barzizza from about 1429–1430. He was a secretary to Zenone Castiglione, bishop of Lisieux. This popular collection was republished as part of Albrecht von Eyb's Praecepta artis rhetoricae and Margarita poetica. Succeeding editions included German, Italian, Dutch, French, and Spanish sentence equivalents. The Spanish version was printed by Antonio de Nebrija's publisher. Fliscus also published a version under the title De componendis epistolis.
