A man with this name introduces vices that the ignorant “called civilization, when it was but a part of their servitude” and is called fortunate “in the opportune moment of his death” in a peroration. A Frisian (“FREE-zhun”) humanist with this surname theorized notetaking in De formando studio and inspired Petrus Ramus’s simplified rhetorical logic in De inventione dialectica. A “Saxon Pliny” with this surname founded metallurgy in De re metallica. This surname was taken by a bishop of Turku whose ABC-kiria and Se Wsi (“say OOH-see”) Testamenti made him the “father of written Finnish.” A book about a man with this name originated the phrase “they make a desert and call it peace”; that encomiastic biography contrasts its subject’s moderatio and virtus (“WEER-tooss”) with Domitian’s tyranny. For 10 points, give this cognomen of a Roman governor eulogized by his son-in-law Tacitus. ■END■
