man he saw military service under
Maximilian, and again under Julius IL
at the captureof Bologna in 1506 (Opera,
p- 324). But most of his life was spent
at Ferrara, where he held a canonry
in the Cathedraland a readership in the
University, and enjoyed the patronage
of the Dukes; being especially attached
to Hippolytus, Cardinal of Este. He
was at Ferrara in 1505 (Op. p. 609), and
met Erasmus there in Dec. 1508. A
translation by him of Lucian’s Iudicium
Vocalium appeared with Const. Lascaris’
Institutiones (Ferrara, Jo. Maciochius,

Dionysius Afer’s De situ orbis (ibid. 18
Dec. 1512). He was ducal ambassador
to Julius 1 in 1509, to Leo x, Adrian
vi, and Paul mz. In 1518 he accom¬
panied Card. Hippolytus to his see of
Erlau in Hungary, and was present at
the marriage of Sigismund of Poland
to Bona Sforza, at Cracow, 18 April
1518 (Op. p. 51). Returning to Italy
in 1519 he visited Rome ec. 1 Oct., and
was delighted with Raphael and St.
Peter’s (Op. p. ror). In Jan. 1525 he
wrote a short treatise De libero arbitrio,
in support of Erasmus, printed by
Froben in June. Besides literature
he also studied botany and astronomy,
and composed a notable work, Quod
caelum stet, terra moueatur.
