Biography/Description |
|
A Venetian born c. 1400–04, Petrus studied the laws at Padua under Prodocimo de Conti and Giovan Francesco di Capodilista. He received the doctorate in 1433. Although better known as a humanist and author of a letter collection, he earned his living as a jurist and churchman. He went to the council of Basel as a strong supporter of papal views, and later to England (1435–40) and France (1442–45) as a papal delegate. In 1442, he was nominated bishop of Brescia, but spent most of his time at the papal court. There he also wrote his chief legal work, a repertorium on both laws (1453). He died at Rome in 1457. |
