This chapter presents an overview on a speech of Lodovico Pontano against Alfonso V in Latin. The short but fiery career of the famous jurist Lodovico Pontano led from the universities of Bologna, Florence, Rome and Siena, the Roman curia and the court of Alfonso V of Aragón to the Council of Basel where he became rapidly one of the major conciliarist leaders. Pontano's biography and the sequential analysis of his largely unedited works shows how a man of learning managed to present his legal skills. The original text of the chapter is in German.
