  Antipope Nicholas V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On February 19, 1329 Nicholas presided at a bizarre ceremony in the cathedral of Pisa, at which a straw puppet representing John XXII and dressed in pontifical robes was formally condemned, degraded, and handed over to the secular arm.

 Pope Nicholas V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicholas V, né Tomaso Parentucelli (November 15, 1397 March 24, 1455) was pope from March 6, 1447, to March 24, 1455.
Nicholas instead employed Lorenzo Valla as a notary and kept hundreds (confirm; this seems high) of copyists and scholars, with the special aim of wholesale translations of Greek works, pagan as well as Christian, into Latin, giving as much as ten thousand gulden for a metrical translation of Homer.
Nicholas himself was a man of vast erudition, and his friend Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II) said of him that "what he does not know is outside the range of human knowledge".

 No. 1-02-0828, People v. Nicholas
Nicholas argues on appeal (1) that the trial court erred in refusing the instruct the jury on involuntary manslaughter, (2) that the prosecutor made improper arguments before the jury, and (3) that the trial court erred in denying the motion to suppress a confession that was involuntary.
Nicholas next argues that the trial court erred in refusing defense counsel's request to instruct the jury on involuntary manslaughter because there was evidence from which the jury could have found that, because he was only trying to scare his mother, he lacked the intent to kill her.
Nicholas next argues that the prosecutor improperly argued to the jury that the defendant was evil and repeatedly urged the jury to use his courtroom demeanor as evidence against him.

If Nicholas is allowed to retain the proceeds of this malpractice action free from any claim for reimbursement by the Fund, he would reap a double recovery, a result contrary to the legislative purposes of § 44(a).

 Introduction (Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library & Renaissance Culture)
According to recent research, chiefly that of José Ruysschaert, lately vice- prefect of the Vatican Library, it was indeed Nicholas V who conceived the idea of a public or "Vatican" library, as distinct, that is, from a purely papal or private one, but it was Sixtus IV who actually put flesh on the idea.
Nicholas V had stated in 1451 that the library was "for the common convenience of the learned." Now, just a century later, a body of learned men was declared to be part of its structure.
The library of Nicholas V, as structured by Sixtus IV, continued in the southeast corner of what is now the Cortile del Belvedere for a hundred years after the death of Sixtus IV in 1484.

 Nicholas V and Vatican Library   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Pope Nicholas V (1447-1455) was born Thomas Parentucelli on November 15th, 1397 in Liguria, Italy.
Nicholas V is generally credited with the creation of the Vatican Library, although Sixtus IV, better known as the pope who built the Sistine Chapel, was primarily responsible for its expansion in the early years (and, some say, its true founder: see the Introduction by Father Boyle to the Library of Congress Vatican Exhibit).
Although a number of holdings predate the papacy of Nicholas V, his humanistic leanings and his enthusiasm for literature and art were part of his vision for what the Vatican Library should be: A reflection of the court-like atmosphere of the Vatican.

Fra Angelico is buried in Rome at the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
Fra Angelico probably began the decoration of the Chapel of Nicholas V in 1448 and may have completed it by 1449, which marked the initiation of a period in the Vatican of embellishment and renovation that was continuous until the sack of Rome by the troops of Charles V in 1527.
In the chapel, he painted scenes from the life of Saint Stephen, the first martyr of the Church of Jerusalem, and St. Lawrence, the first martyr of the Church of Rome.
