Francesco Filelfo (1398 to 1481), known in Latin as Franciscus Philelphus, was an Italian Renaissance humanist and the author of the philosophic dialogue On Exile. Born at Tolentino in the March of Ancona, he studied grammar, rhetoric and Latin at Padua under the humanist educator Gasparino Barzizza and gained such a reputation for learning that in 1417, at the age of eighteen, he was invited to teach eloquence and moral philosophy at Venice. In 1419 he was appointed notary and chancellor to the Venetian representative in Constantinople.
