John Price (Pricaeus) (c. 1602–1676) was an English classical scholar, publisher and collector of books. He was a Roman Catholic who described himself as ‘Anglo-Britannus’.[1]
In 1635, in Paris, he published the Apologia of Apuleius.[1]
From 1652 the Medicis employed him as their "keeper of coins". He was also appointed professor of Greek at Pisa.[1]
In 1661 he moved, under patronage of Cardinal Francesco Barberini, to Rome where he died in 1676.[1]
