DE' TUDESCHI (DE TUDISCO), NICCOLÒ (Panormitanus, Abbas Siculus, Abbas Modernus). - Canonist, b. at Catania in 1386, d. in July 1445.
He was a monk of the Order of St. Benedict and professor of canon law, first at Bologna in 1411, then at Parma in the years 1412-18, then at Siena during the years 1418-30; then again at Bologna in the years 1431 and 1432. In 1425 he had become abbot of the monastery of S. Miniato; in 1433 he was appointed auditor of the Apostolic Chamber and referendary of the Pope, and finally he was elected archbishop of Palermo (1435) and created cardinal by the antipope Felix V on 12 Nov. 1440.
To him is owed an extensive commentary on the Decretals of Gregory IX which enjoyed great authority in his time and is still considered one of the most valuable works of the age of the decretalists. He is also the author of a commentary on the Liber sextus of Boniface VIII and of another on the Clementines. A Florilegium of the two laws is likewise attributed to him. N. de' T. remained famous for having very often freed himself from the opinion of the gloss and for maintaining an independent and sometimes even bold position on fundamental points of canon law.
