Correr was created protonotary apostolic by Pope Eugenius IV, a relation. He went with the Curia to Florence, where he encountered the humanist circle of Biondo Flavio.[3] He corresponded with Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger.[4]

He then served as secretary to his uncle Antonio at the Council of Basle. From 1448 he was an abbot at the Basilica of San Zeno, Verona.[1] There he received the visit of another pupil of Vittorino, Iacopo da San Cassiano.[5] He commissioned the celebrated San Zeno Altarpiece from Andrea Mantegna.[6] He was nominated as bishop of Padua in 1459, but lost out to Pietro Barbo when Pope Pius II refused to accept the Venetian Senate's choice.[7]

Works

There is a codex of Correr's works.[8] Around 1428 he wrote a Latin tragedy, Progne, based on the story of Procne in Ovid, and the play Thyestes by Seneca the Younger.[9] He wrote also seven satires as a pupil in Mantua, and poetry, as he mentioned in correspondence with Cecilia Gonzaga.[2] He wrote about 60 fables,[10] and also a biography of Antonio[11]
