Agostino Nifo is referred to as "Suessani" by the publisher here, in the title and at each introductory and concluding paragraph in the work.
This moniker is derived from Nifo's birthplace, Sessa Aurunca (Suessa Pometia), a city of ancient and continuous occupation on the west slope of the extinct volcano Roccamonfina in western Italy.
Nifo pursued his studies in Padua, where he equipped himself for a career as a philosopher writing on rational existence as it relates to catholic doctrine.
He saw each human soul as indestructible, even in death, at which point it merges into a vast and never-ending spiritual entity.
As often as not, he wrote commentaries on Aristotle, required reading throughout the scholarly European world in the Renaissance and beyond.
