He became a lecturer in 1422 and continued his law studies the following year. In 1425 he was invited to Florence as ambassador and returned a few years later, from 1429 to 1430, as a lecturer.

Among his students were Pietro Barbo, who eventually became Pope Paul II , Andrea Barbazza, Ludovico Pontano and Alessandro Tartagni, who married d'Anagni's daughter.

He wrote various discussions and legal opinions that have appeared in several editions since the 16th century.
