Biography/Description |
|
Ludovicus was born about 1409 in Cerreto di Spoleto. He studied in Perugia with Johannes Petrutius de Monte Sperello and Angelus de Perillis and later in Bologna with Johannes de Imola. He received his license in civil law in Bologna on October 9, 1427 and doctorate in both laws in Bologna on December 22, 1429. From October 1428 to June 1431 he taught civil law at Florence. Then he became a judge of the Rota Romana, consistorial advocate and professor of the Studium Romanum; later he also held the position of Apostolic protonotary (October 1435). From October 1433 to April 1436, he was professor for civil law in Siena. Then he entered into the service of King Alfonso V of Aragon and Sicily. From December 1436, he was ambassador from Aragon at the Council of Basel. In April 1438, he became ambassador of the Council to Duke Amadeo VIII of Savoy (the later pope Felix V) and from July to October 1438 he was ambassador of the Council to the archbishop of Cologne, Dietrich of Moers, the city and the university of Cologne, the duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, and the University of Leuven. Ludovicus died on July 11, 1439 of the plague. He is buried in the charterhouse of Basel. The entry on Ludovicus Pontanus was written by Thomas Woelki, Humboldt Universität Berlin. |
