Angelo Geraldini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angelo Geraldini (1422-1486) was an Italian humanist and diplomat, who became a bishop.
He studied canon law at the university of Perugia[1], and was professor there 1444-46[2]. In the papal curia he was appointed count palatine by Pope Callistus II in 1455[3].
He served under Niccolò Fortiguerra in the papal forces fighting Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, and against Ferrante.[4].
He was legal adviser to Cardinal Domenico Capranica[3]. In France he governed the Venaissin, at two periods[3][5]. He went on missions to the Council of Basel in 1482, and to the court of John II of Aragon, leading to a Spanish ministerial appointment and close involvement in the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs[3].
He was bishop of Sessa Aurunca in 1465[6] and bishop of Kammin, from 1482 to 1485.
