'''Hernán Núñez de Toledo y Guzmán''' ([[Valladolid]], 1475 - [[Salamanca]], 1553) was a [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Renaissance humanism|humanist]], [[classicist]], [[philologist]], and [[proverb|paremiographer]]. He was called ''el Comendador Griego'', ''el Pinciano'' (from Pintia, the Latin name of Valladolid) or ''Fredenandus Nunius Pincianus''. He earned his degree in 1490 from the Spanish College of San Clemente in [[Bologna]]. He returned to Spain in 1498 and served as a [[preceptor]] to the Mendoza family, in [[Granada]]. In this city, he studied [[classical languages]] as well as [[Hebrew]] and [[Arabic]]. Cardinal [[Gonzalo Ximénez de Cisneros]] hired him as censor of the cardinal’s press at [[Alcalá de Henares]]. There, Nuñez worked on the [[Complutensian Polyglot Bible]], specifically on the [[Septuagint]]. Nuñez was named professor of [[rhetoric]] at the [[Universidad Complutense]], which had recently been founded. He then taught Greek from 1519. During the [[Castilian War of the Communities]], Nuñez sided with the ''comuneros'' but avoided execution. He then taught at the [[University of Salamanca]], occupying the post once filled by [[Antonio de Nebrija]]. At the age of 50, he retired from teaching to dedicate himself fully to research, although he seems to have still given classes on Hebrew at the University of Salamanca.

==Works==
He wrote a gloss on the ''[[Laberinto de Fortuna]]'' by [[Juan de Mena]], which appeared in two editions (Seville, 1499; and Granada, 1505).

In 1508, he collected and glossed a diverse body of proverbs and [[adages]], first published in [[Seville]]. After his death, it was published as ''Refranes o proverbios en romance'' ([[Salamanca]], 1555). He included proverbs from many languages, including [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Galician language|Galician]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[French language|French]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Asturian language|Asturian]], [[Aragonese language|Aragonese]], [[Latin]], and [[Ancient Greek language|Greek]]. The work was popular: it was reprinted several times, although it suffered [[censorship]] (some of its obscene or foreign proverbs were removed). It inspired imitators in Spain and abroad, such as the French work ''Proverbiorum Vulgarium Libri Tres'' (1531) and the Italian ''Opera quale contiene le Dieci Tavole de proverbi'' (Turin, 1535).

In 1509, he translated into [[Castilian language|Castilian]] [[Enea Silvio Piccolomini|Enea Silvio Piccolomini's]] ''History of [[Bohemia]]''. In 1519, he published a Greek and Latin text of the letter “To the Christian youths,” written by [[Saint Basil]].

He published critical studies on the works of [[Pliny the Elder]], [[Theocritus]], [[Seneca the Younger|Seneca]], and [[Pomponius Mela]]. He also studied the work of [[Saint Jerome]].
