Through his pupils Antonio Maurolico, Francesco Faraone and Giacomo Notese-Genovese his knowledge reached to the scientist Francesco Maurolico. Lascaris died at Messina in 1501. The "Grammatica", which has often been reprinted (was famous Manuzio's edition of 1494–1495 with the "Golden Verses" of Pythagoras), is the most valuable work produced by Lascaris. In 1499 at Messina he published the "Vitae illustrium philosophorum siculorum et calabrorum", with the first Renaissance biography of Pythagoras. Some of his letters are given by Johannes Iriarte in the "Regiae Bibliothecae Matritensis codices Graeci manuscripti" (Madrid, 1769). His name was later known to readers in the romance of Abel-Francois Villemain, "Lascaris, ou les Grecs du quinzieme siècle" (1825). See also John Edwin Sandys, "Hist. Class. Schol.", ed. 2, vol. ii (1908), pp. 76 foll.
