Note 8 — DIDYMUS, THE CLERIC,[8] ON THE ITALIAN UNIVERSITIES.
Reading edition
Didimo Chièrico is a fictitious character, upon whom Foscolo has fathered most of his opinions and experiences, in a curious piece of writing purporting to be a sketch of Didimo and an account of his works. It contains numerous references to Sterne, by whom Foscolo was greatly influenced.
