Gualandi was the private secretary of Cardinal Alfonso Carafa, Archbishop of Naples. In 1557, Pope Paul IV named him a Canon of the collegiate churches of Saints Stephen and Saint Felix in Aquileia. [4]
From 1557 till 1588 he was Bishop of Cesena in northern Italy. [5] In that capacity Gualandi organized several synods. The synod in 1582 resulted in his first publication, Constitutiones, et decreta condita ab illustri...Adoardo Gualando...Caesenae. 1584. In 1588 Gualandi retired and was succeeded as Bishop of Cesena by his nephew Camillo Gualandi.
During his retirement he wrote his only known philosophical treatise, De civili facultate Libri XVI. It was published by his nephew in 1598, i.e. a year after his death in Rome, 17 March 1597. [6] The treatise shows Gualandi as an eclectic Aristotelian who attracted attention not as an original thinker but for the way he organized the material in his explanation of ethics and politics. Gualandi had a reputation for clear explanation of moral philosophy in general, and that of Aristotle in particular. [7] His reputation as a teacher lasted till the beginning of the eighteenth century. Since then his name and work have passed into forgetfulness.

Jean Taisnier, surnamed Hannonius, was a Wallonian musician, mathematician and astrologer who published a number of works and taught in various European cities and universities. In some sources he is mis-named Jean Fuisnier. He was for some time schoolmaster of the boys of the Chapel (Sacellanus) in the court of Emperor Charles V. By 1559 he styled himself "Poet Laureate", and "Doctor of both Laws", but upon what authority is unknown. While he propounded a general theory of Mathematics in four "Quantities" of Astronomy, Geometry, Arithmetic and Music, and aimed to publish a general exposition of them, he became preoccupied with astrology and cheiromancy, and neglected to publish his advertized Treatise on Music which might have been the most interesting of all his works. His unacknowledged use of the work of other authors has incurred the accusation of plagiarism. He was the great-uncle of David Teniers the Elder.
