Reading edition
Born in 1485-1486; died in 1557. There is an alleged portrait of Ramusio in the new edition of Il viaggio di Giovan Leone, etc. (Venice, 1857), the only volume of it published. The portrait of him by Paul Veronese in the hall of the Great Council was burned in 1557; and Cicogna (Biblioteca Veneziana, ii. 310) says that the likeness now in the Sala dello Scudo is imaginary.
