He belonged to a noble family De Ansso of Spain Spanish origin, and took his surname from a village in the neighbourhood. In 1773 he published the Homeric Lexicon of Apollonius the Sophist from a manuscript in the abbey of Saint Germain des Pres . In 1778 his edition of Longus s Daphnis and Chlo was published. He went to Venice in 1781 where he spent three years examining the library, his expenses being paid by the French government. His chief discovery was a 10th century manuscript of the Iliad , the famous codex Venetus A , with ancient scholia and marginal notes, indicating supposititious, corrupt or transposed verses. After leaving Venice, he accepted an invitation of the duke of Saxe Weimar to come to his court. Some of the fruits of his researches in the library of the palace were collected into a volume Epistolae Vinarienses 1783 , dedicated to his royal hosts. Hoping to find a treasure similar to the Venetian Homer in Greece , he returned to Paris to prepare for a journey to the east. He visited Constantinople , zmir Smyrna , the Greek islands, and Mount Athos but the results did not meet his expectation. In 1786 he returned to Paris, and in 1788 brought out the Venetus A of Homer, which created a sensation in the learned world. When the French Revolution revolution broke out, being banished from Paris, he lived in retirement in Orl ans , occupying himself chiefly with the transcription of the notes in the library of the brothers Henri Valois Valois Valesius . On the restoration of order, having returned to Paris, he accepted a professorship of modern Greek established by the government, and held it until it was transferred to the Coll ge de France as the professorship of the ancient and modern Gr ... more details
for the Romania n village of Dami Bratca Damis was a student and lifelong companion of Apollonius of Tyana , the famous Neopythagorean philosopher and teacher who lived in the early 1st up to the early 2nd century CE. All that we know about Damis comes from Apollonius biographer Philostratus who wrote his Life of Apollonius of Tyana between 217 and 238. Some scholars Who date August 2011 believe the notebooks of Damis are an invention of Philostratus, others think it was a real book forged by someone else and used by Philostratus. And some scholars think that Damis never existed at all. F.C. Conybeare, however, points out the extreme and unnecessary sceptism of this theory. ref F.C. Conybeare, Philostratus The Life of Apollonius of Tyana, the Epistles of Apollonius and the Treatise of Eusebius 1912 , introduction, page vii ref It is possible that Philostratus did use a biography of Apollonius by Damis, who was however, not trustworthy that is, he was like the so called aretalogi , sought to embellish the life of his master. ref F.C.
