Pedro Juan Núñez (Latin: Petrus Joannes Nunnesius or Valentinus Nunnesius;[1] 1525–1602)[2] was a Valencian humanist and educator active during the Spanish Golden Age.
[3][4] Núñez graduated with a Master of Arts from the University of Valencia in 1546.
While there he composed Rhetoricae institutionis libri quinque (1552), a paraphrase of the four works of the Hermogenean corpus, at the age of 27.
[3][6][7][4] Pedro Juan Pepinyá, a famous Jesuit orator, was one of his students.
[9] In 1557 he left with Juan Lorenzo Palmireno to work at the University of Zaragoza, but in 1563 returned yet again to the University of Valencia, where he continued to publish on Greek language and rhetoric.
