Biography/Description |
|
Born at Padua, c. 1370, Prosdocimus obtained the doctorate in both laws in 1398. He taught canon law at Padua from 1403, often interrupted by the diplomatic services he performed for Venice, which had taken control of Padua in 1405. Besides composing many legal commentaries, he also was instrumental in reforming the statutes of the city. He died in 1438 as a leading member of Padua’s oligarchy. |
