Castelvetro, a native of Modena, visited England for the first time in 1574. He returned in 1580 and enjoyed the patronage of Sir Philip Sidney , Sir Christopher Hatton , and Sir Francis Walsingham; i n 1592 he became Italian tutor to James VI of Scotland and Queen Anne, and later taught at Cambridge. His time in England was interspersed with frequent trips to the Continent, including the great book fairs at Basel and Frankfurt. 'During his lifetime Castelvetro achieved only limited recognition, but after John Florio , the first recorded teacher of Italian at Oxford, he was the most important promoter of his native tongue and national heritage in England at this period. It was only in the twentieth century, with reassessments of his career and the publication of his 'Brieve racconto' as The Fruit, Herbs and Vegetables of Italy ( ed. G. Riley , 1989 ), that his significance as an advocate of the consumption of more fruit and vegetables was appreciated' (ODNB). For further examples of Castelvetro's hand see Newberry Case MS 5086 and Trinity College, Cambridge, MS R.10.6. Adams C1107; not in BM STC Italian.
