Andrea Biglia OSA (c. 1395 – 1435)[1] was an Italian Renaissance humanist, known as a moral philosopher and historian.
[2][4][5] An early influence was Gasparino Barzizza at Padua, and Sicco Polenton, another pupil there, became a friend.
Biglia in Florence met the humanist circle including Ambrogio Traversari: others were Giovanni Aurispa, Leonardo Bruni and Niccolò Niccoli.
[8] In connection with this dispute, Biglia wrote on the Holy Name of Jesus, and these theological writings proved influential.
[10] His best-known work Rerum mediolanensium historia was a history of Milan in the period 1402–1431 in the style of Livy.
