Biography/Description |
|
Born in Venice around 1410, Cosma studied law at Padua and obtained the doctorate in canon law in 1434, and in civil law in 1441. It seems that ten years before his first degree, Cosma was already giving lectures in canon law at Padua. By 1438, he was certainly teaching canon law as a professor at the University, and he continued to do so until at least 1460. According to same sources, he may not have abandoned teaching until 1477. From 1448, Cosma also acted as the vicar of the bishop of Padua. |
