Biography/Description

Petrus was born in Ravenna after 1448. He studied under Alexander Tartagnus and then moved on to Padua. There he lectured on the Institutes and in 1472 became a doctor utriusque iuris. He taught, briefly it seems, in several other cities: Bologna, Pavia, Ferrara and Pistoia. At Padua, he undertook also the functions of an assessor to the Podestà. Petrus left Padua by 1497 for Germany. He was called to the new university at Greifswald by its founder, Duke Bogislav X of Pomerania. He taught Roman and canon law there until 1501 when an epidemic encouraged him to flee to Wittenburg. He remained at Wittenburg until 1516 when another outbreak of plague there forced Petrus to abandon Wittenburg for Cologne. He died there in 1508.
