Giason Denores

[6] Towards the end of his life, De Nores recalled with pride that Gabriel, 'in spite of the fact that he could have followed princes and cardinals,' had not scorned to dwell for many months in his student's house.

[7] The second person under whose influence De Nores came was Sperone Speroni, professor of Logic and Philosophy in the University of Padua and leader of the Accademia degli Infiammati.

To the Cyprians was conceded the right to inhabit with many privileges the city of Pula; and to De Nores was offered the Chair of Moral Philosophy at Padua.

[1][10] This professorship, which had not been filled since the death of Francesco Robortello ten years earlier,[1] carried with it an annual stipend of 200 florins, increased to 300 in 1589.

[11] Relieved from financial worries, De Nores could devote himself to his philosophical and literary pursuits: in the remaining thirteen years of his life he wrote eleven of his fourteen works.
