Antonio Beccadelli (13941471), called Il Panormita (poetic form meaning "The Palermitan"), was an Italian poet, canon lawyer, scholar, diplomat, and chronicler. He generally wrote in Latin. Born in Palermo, he helped his father with his merchant business until he became consumed with enthusiasm for humanistic studies. Beccadelli founded the academy Porticus Antoniana, later known as the Pontaniana, after Giovanni Pontano. He is best known for his Hermaphroditus (1425)
