    Almost all of B.’s political activities were directed towards advancing the preparations for the crusade against the Turks. In addition to a number of theological works, Bessarion composed two major philosophical treatises, On Nature and Art and Against the Calumniator of Plato.
    He had mastered both Greek and Latin, and he circulated his works in both languages, although the Latin version was probably taken care of by his secretary Niccolo Perrotti (Monfasani 1981, 2008 ). Bessarion died in Ravenna in 1472 and was buried in Rome.
