4 unusual facts about Mario Esposito


Mario Esposito

Mario Esposito (7 September 1887 - 19 February 1975) was an Irish-born scholar who specialised in Hiberno-Latin studies.

He published his first article (on Dicuil) in the Dublin Review at the age of eighteen and produced a steady stream of publications for much of the rest of his life.

According to Michael Lapidge, Esposito "did more than any scholar before or since to appreciate and define Latin learning in medieval Ireland".

The 1901 census lists the family living at 50 Serpentine Avenue in Dublin and renders Mario's first name as 'Marius'.
