PALEA'RIUS (Aonius), an elegant and liberal fcho- 
lar, and martyr to the caufe of the reformation, was born 
about the beginning of the fixteenth century at Veruli 
in the Campagna of Rome. The name of his family was 
Della Puglia, and his baptifmal name was Antonio, both 
which he changed to the clafiical form under which he is 
known, according to the praflice of that learned age. 
After having ftudied fix years at Rome, he quitted it on 
the approach of the imperial army in 1527, and took up 
his abode at Perugia, Sienna, Padua, and other places, 
improving himfelf by attendance on the moll celebrated 
profeffors. He fixed at length at Sienna, where he mar¬ 
ried in 1536, and opened a private fchool for fome young 
men of rank. Here he paffed fome years tranquilly in 
the bofom of his family, till his merit, and the freedom 
of his opinions, began to raife him enemies. The fuf- 
picion into which he fell, as being a favourer of the re¬ 
formation, gave them a handle for the dreadful accufation 
of herefy ; and in 1542 he was brought on that account 
before the governor and archbifliop. Upon this occafion 
he wrote an oration, publiflted among his works, in which, 
though he did not avow the opinions imputed to him, he 
fpoke of them in a way that fliowed what he thought on 
thole points. He was however abfolved ; but was after¬ 
wards thwarted in his attempts to obtain a chair in the 
univerfity. In 1544 he publilhed anonymoufly a work in 
Italian “ On the Merits of Chrift,” which was written in 
the principles of the reformers. He received an invita¬ 
tion in 1546 to take the profefforlhip of eloquence at 
Lucca, with which he complied, and exercifed that office 
for feveral years. Such was his reputation for elegant li¬ 
terature, that it procured him feveral diftinguifned friends, 
among whom was cardinal Sadoleto, and caufed him to 
be invited to Milan in 1555, to fucceed Majoragio in the 
chair of eloquence. In that city he refided quietly till 
the acceffion of pope Pius V. who, having been a domini- 
can and an inquilitor, began his reign with the fevere
