(Guy), a famous lawyer of Rhegium, was a person of an excellent genius, which he cultivated with the greatest care in the principal universities of Italy; and was afterwards ordinary professor of law at Padua. Philibert Emanuel, duke of Savoy, invited him to his university in 1571, where he composed his ingenious treatise De rebus inventis et desperitis. But the air of Turin not agreeing with him, he there lost an eye; and, for fear of losing the other, returned to Padua, where he died in 1591.
