Pier Paolo Vergerio (the Elder) (23 July 1370 – 8 July 1444 or 1445) was an Italian humanist, statesman, and canon lawyer. ==Life== Vergerio was born at Capodistria, Republic of Venice. He studied rhetoric at Padua, canon law at Florence (1387–89) and at Bologna (1389–90). He is noted for writingy to Pope Innocent VII and Pope Gregory XII. Hans Baron writes ''The Crisis of the Early Italian Renaissance'', 1966 edition, p.134. ''The catastrophe of 1405 ruined Vergerio's career as a humanist''. Later he became canon of Ravenna and took part in the Council of Constance in 1414. The next year he was one of the fifteen delegates who accompanied the Emperor Sigismund to Perpignan, where an endeavour was made to induce Pope Benedict XIII to renounce his claims. From 1417 to his death he was secretary to the Emperor Sigismund. In July 1420, he was the chief orator of the Catholic party at the Hussite disputation at Prague. Though never married and probably in minor orders, he was not a priest. He died at Buda, Kingdom of Hungary, aged 73 or 74. Pier Paolo Vergerio was the first to publish Petrarch's ''Africa'' for the public in 1396-1397.〔Everson, p. 101〕〔Bergin and Wilson, p. xiii〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pier Paolo Vergerio the Elder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
