He was born in Trieste, and received his early education. He then studied law at Padua. He studied under Guarino da Verona, and thereafter taught in Capo d'Istria (now Koper),[1] where he was patronized by the proveditore of Venice, Marcello.[2] He also lived in Trieste ( 1466-1470). He was prompted by Johannes Hinderbach, Prince-Bishop of Trent, to write an antisemitic hymn about Simon of Trent.[3]
