Andreas Darmarios

[1] Although Venice remained his primary home, he made at least eleven trips to Spain between 1570 and 1587.

[1] He made numerous copies of the Greek classics for noble patrons.

[4] Among his patrons and clients were King Philip II of Spain[1] and numerous humanists, including Álvar Gómez de Castro [es],[1] Andreas Schott,[2] Antonio Agustín,[3] and Bartolomé Llorente [es].

[3] In the 17th century, David Colville accused him of introducing errors and falsehoods in every manuscript he touched.

[1] The extent of Darmarios' forgery and whether or not it was limited to titles and attributions—"the production of new works of old authors"[1]—is of importance because several texts can be traced back only as far as copies he made.
