Album Info:

Vives was born in Valencia. He studied at Paris from 1509 to 1512, and in 1519 was appointed professor of humanities at the University of Leuven. Soon afterwards, he was invited to England, and acted as tutor to the Princess Mary. While in England, he resided at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he was made doctor of laws and lectured on philosophy. Having declared himself against the king's divorce from Catherine of Aragon, he lost royal favour and was confined to his house for six weeks. On his release, he withdrew to Bruges, where he devoted the rest of his life to the composition of numerous works. He died at Bruges in 1540 at the age of 48.
