MALERMI (Malerbi, Manebri), Niccolò. - Camaldolese, b. ca. 1422, d. in Venice in 1481. He was abbot of S. Michele di Lemo, of S. Mattia and of S. Michele di Murano in Venice.
He is famous for the edition of the Bible in the vernacular: Bibbia dignamente vulgarizzata per il clarissimo religioso duon Nicolao de M. veneziano et di Monasterio de S. Michele di Lemo abbate dignissimo (2 vols. in-fol. in 2 cols., Venice 1471, with the types of Vendelino da Spira). It is extremely rare. The edition of N. Jenson, which appeared two months later (called the octavo edition), reproduces that of M. for the New Testament but departs from it for the Old. M. made use of fourteenth-century manuscript versions, probably (certainly for the Acts) of D. Cavalca (according to others of J. Passavanti), retouching them and making them more homogeneous, but often disfiguring them from the literary point of view. For the Solomonic books he used Nicholas of Lyra. He had as collaborator the Florentine Girolamo Squarciafico. Up to 1567 more than 30 editions were made. C. Negroni reprinted the work in 1882 in Bologna.
M. also wrote: Historia monasterii S. Matthiae et alia plura ad chronicon Ordinis pertinentia, whose manuscript was lost, and Le vite di tutti li santi with the help of the Florentine G. Squarciafico (Venice 1475).
