Biography/Description

Thomas studied civil law at Pavia and received the licentiate there in 1405. He then studied canon law at Padua under Zabarella and obtained the doctorate in 1409. He began teaching at Padua, Parma, and finally Reggio (since 1418). Despite his academic obligations, his chief literary accomplishment shows his close association with humanistic circles. He produced a vulgar version of Vergil’s Aeneid and other treatises based on the classical authors. He died in Reggio in 1444.
