an Italian legislator and cardinal, was born at Bologna. He had obtained a great reputation as a scholar, being well versed both in civil and canonical law, when, after the loss of his wife, he decided to enter the ministry. He soon became distinguished in his new position, and after he had filled several important functions, pope John XIII made him cardinal, in 1414, and left him his vicar at Rome, where he was made prisoner by the troops of Ladislas, king of Naples. Finally he was set at liberty by the efforts of Giacomo Sforga Attendole, and Felippe Maria Visconti made him governor of Genoa. He died at Milan, February 19, 1431, leaving several Consilias and other works on law. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
