	Lorenzo Valla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valla was educated in Rome, attending the classes of eminent professors, among them Leonardi Bruni and Giovanni Aurispa (c. 1369‑1459), from whom he learned Latin and Greek.
		Valla was motivated to show that the Donation of Constantine, often cited in support of the temporal power of the Papacy, was a forgery.
		Valla's argument was so convincing despite his vested interests that as a result the falsity of the Donation is generally conceded.

	History of the Christian Church, Schaff, 1910 edition with power search.
		Laurentius Valla, the only Humanist of distinction born in Rome, taught at Pavia, was secretary to the king of Naples, and at last served at the court of Nicolas V. He held several benefices and was buried in the Lateran, but was a sceptic and an indirect advocate of Epicurean morality.
		But Poggio, Filelfo, Valla and the majority of the other writers of the Renaissance period, such as Ariosto, Aretino, Machiavelli, were indifferent to religion, or despised it in the form they saw it manifested.
		Poggio, Filelfo, Valla, Bandello, Machiavelli, Ariosto, Aretino and Erasmus and the writers of the Epistolae virorum obscurorum chastised with caustic irony and satire the hypocrisy and vices of the monastic class, or turned its members into a butt of ridicule.

	Church History - McCaffrey
		Laurentius Valla[5] (1405-57) in his work, /De Voluptate/, championed free indulgence in all kinds of sensual pleasures, attacked virginity as a crime against the human race, and ridiculed the idea of continence and self-denial, while in his own life he showed himself a faithful disciple of the Epicurianism that he propounded in his writings.
		His denunciations, too, of the Popes as the usurping tyrants of Rome in his work on the Constantine Donation were likely to do serious injury to the head of the Church in his spiritual as well as in his temporal capacity.
		But bad as were the compositions of Valla, they were harmless when compared with the books and pamphlets of Beccadelli, the Panormite, who devoted himself almost exclusively to what was indecent and repulsive.
