| '''Þiudareico Biagci''' (<small>Luthic:</small> [[IPA for Luthic|[θju.ð̞ɐˈʁi.xu ˈbjaŋ.k̟i]]]; ''c.'' 1611, [[w:Ravenna|Ravenna]] – September 14, 1672, [[w:Rome|Rome]], [[w:Papal States|Papal States]]) and often referred to as '''Theoderic''', a common anglicisation; was a late mediaeval Luthic grammarian, poet, philosopher and writer. Þiudareico was an accomplished poet. Þiudareico wrote theological and grammatical tracts, enciclopaedias, and commentaries on the works of other philosophers and theologians. He displayed a sophisticated knowledge of Greek, Latin and Italian. Modern Luth scholars, such as Giuvanni Laggobardi, describe him as “an accomplished grammarian and poet, and one of the few Luth scholars of his time to have first-hand knowledge of Greek and Latin”.
| |
|
| |
| Very little is known about Þiudareico’s early life. He was a disciple of [[w:Pope Leo XI|Pope Leo XI]] and spent time at Rome, although it is unknown how much time he spent in the Papal States.
| |
|
| |
| Þiudareico’s final days were spent in Rome, where he had been invited to stay in the city in 1665 by the [[w:Orsini family|Orsini family]]. Þiudareico died on Sempteber 14, 1672, aged about 61, by natural causes. He was attended by his two children, and possibly by the Orsini family, and by friends and admirers he had in the city.
| |
|
| |
| Most of Þiudareico’s litery works were composed before his fixed abode in Rome. His most famous work is ''De Studio Linguæ Luthicæ'', first published on 9 September, 1657, written in Latin, however a later edition published on 27 December, 1662, was written in a language he called “Luthic”, an amalgamated literary language predominantly based on the regional dialect of Ravenna, with heavy Germanic influence, but with some elements Latin and of other regional dialects of [[w:Tuscany|Tuscany]].

| ===Aþalphonso Silva===
| |
| '''Aþalphonso Silva''' (13 April 1917 – 30 April 2012) was a ''Professor of Lutho-Germanic and Indo-European Philology'' at the Ravenna University from 1962 until his retirement in 1982.
| |
|
| |
| Silva was born on 13 April 1917 in Ravenna. He was one of the first contemporaneous Luthic philologists, along with a few other colleagues of the Ravenna University. Silva held two degrees from the Ravenna University:
| |
|
| |
| * M.A., 1938, Germanic linguistics
| |
| * Ph.D., 1940, Luthic Linguistics and Literature
| |
|
| |
| He obtained his PhD under Volfelano Barbieri with a thesis titled: “Luthic history : traces of a mediaeval language”. Aþalphonso is well known for his works regarding the origin of the Luths and the understanding of the Gothic calendar in the Codex Ambrosianus A, due to his searching for an etymology regarding the Luthic and the Gothic autonyms prior to the Ostrogothic period.
