Pedro Juan Núñez (Latin: Petrus Joannes Nunnesius or Valentinus Nunnesius;[1] 1525–1602)[2] was a Valencian humanist and educator active during the Spanish Golden Age. He is famous for his rhetorical treatises based on Hermogenes' rhetorical works.[3][4]

Life

Núñez graduated with a Master of Arts from the University of Valencia in 1546.[2] After graduation, he worked at the University of Valencia as a chair in Greek.[2][5] Starting in 1550 he studied under Peter Ramus in Paris.[2][6][7][8] Núñez returned to Valencia in 1552 to take a position as a chair in Rhetoric.[2] He also taught Grammar and Latin. While there he composed Rhetoricae institutionis libri quinque (1552), a paraphrase of the four works of the Hermogenean corpus, at the age of 27.[3][6][7][4] Pedro Juan Pepinyá, a famous Jesuit orator, was one of his students.[9] In 1557 he left with Juan Lorenzo Palmireno to work at the University of Zaragoza, but in 1563 returned yet again to the University of Valencia, where he continued to publish on Greek language and rhetoric.[2][5]
