A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Scaliger, (Lucia)
SCALIGER (LUCIA), born of respectable Parents in the City of Venice, 1637,
Learned the Latin, Spanish, and French languages, writing letters in each, full of such sentiments as would instruct even the best letter writers. In playing and singing she made great progress: in painting she had Alexander Varotari for a master, who followed the colouring of Titian, and at the same time taught Bartholomew Scaliger, her uncle. She refused the invitations of some Italian and foreign princesses, who sought her as their maid of honour: she married in her own country, and amongst her other children, had Maria Theodora, who painted with skill. She lived to the end of 1700. She was a relation of the famous Scaliger, and of many others remarkable for their learning and genius.
