miscellanist是什么意思

n.<主英>杂文作家,杂录家

1、Montaigne, the miscellanist of the Florentine expurgation, becomes utterly untranslatable in English or French or any of the other languages in which he has been detached from his proper fountains.

2、Is it the product of a novelist's fertile imagination or a gatecrashing opportunity for an aspiring miscellanist to rewrite ingrained history?
