Cono (or Conon), Johann

a German theologian, was born at Nuremberg in 1463. He entered the Dominican order, and went to Padua to study Greek under Marcus Musurtus. Erasmus spoke in eulogistic terms of this monk in several of his works. Cono died at Basle, February 21, 1513. In 1512 he published in Greek some treatises of the different fathers of the Church, and the Institutes of Justinian, with numerous annotations. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog.
