Johannes Sixtinus (John Sextun), d. 1519, was a contemporary and an associate of Erasmus. He was a native of Bolsward in Friesland and studied at Oxford before pursuing a clerical career in England. Sixtinus studied Law at Bologna and perhaps at Ferrara. He obtained a doctorate in Civil Law at Sienna in 1510. Shortly before this he was appointed Archpriest of Haccombe. A great deal of his later life was spent in Rome. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
