According to "Pallas's Great Lexikon"[1] --- Galeotti (Galeotto) Marzio (Martius) was a humanist, poet, philosopher, and astrologer in the 15th century.
Here he became an intimate friend of JanusPannonius, who was a Hungarian student there at that time, and later became a bishop of Pécs (in Southern Hungary).
After a pilgrimage to Rome Galeotti gave lectures in 1450 at the University of Padova about classical authors, and studied medicine as well.
After a short-term stay in Padova, in 1462 he spent a longer time travelling in Spain, France and England, practising medicine.
In his book (2 volumes), De Homine, he reflects on the physical and philosophic aspects of human nature and his main concern if the well-being of man.
In 1471 he wrote a book in Buda of the title "De homine libri duo" about physiology and medicine, a description of the parts of the body.
As he expressed in his book the heretical view that all men, who live according to common sense and the laws of nature, will find salvation - he was arrested by the Venetian inquisition on his estate in Montagna near Padova, and they had him before the court.
This work contains many interesting data relating to the history of culture in Hungary, anecdotes and characteristic stories about King Matthias and his court.
His work De jocose Dictis et Factis Regis Matthhias Covirni further incurred the displeasure of the church and he was taken to Venice where he was imprisoned for a time.
