Andrea Brenta

The earliest surviving register of the Vatican Library—which was open to the public at the time—shows that Brenta borrowed the Anabasis on 10 October 1477 and a copy of Hippocrates on 21 June 1479.

[1] At Pentecost on 18 May 1483, he gave a public sermon in the presence of Pope Sixtus IV in Saint Peter's Basilica on the nature of the Holy Spirit.

[3] Brenta died from the plague on 11 February 1484, the date and cause of death being known from a letter of his colleague Bartolomeo della Fonte [it] to Giovanni Acciauoli [it].

[5] Entitled Caesaris oratio Vesontione habita, this work was printed at Rome first by Bartholomaeus Guldinbeck in 1481 and then a second time by Stephan Plannck [de] before 1484.

During his time in Naples, Brenta completed translations of the Oratio funebris of Lysias and John Chrysostom's sermon In proditionem Iudae, both dedicated to Oliviero Carafa.
