John was born in Lodi Vecchio in 1025. In the 1060s he became a hermit at the Camaldolese monastery of Fonte Avellana. He became a disciple and the personal secretary of Peter Damian, who was the prior of Fonte Avellana. After Damian's death in 1072, John wrote a biography of Damian (1076-1082).[1] John later became prior of Fonte Avellana (1082-1084, and again 1100-1101). In 1104 he became Bishop of Gubbio, and held this office until his death.

gollark: Well, everything about English makes no sense.
gollark: Most of my greek typing is just one character in the middle of other stuff, so it would not be very useful to me to learn other layouts and set them up.
gollark: If only people (including me...) actually knew IPA so we could avoid messing with "thee-tah" and other ambiguous ways to say how to pronounce things.
gollark: It's not that hard, I just hold LWIN and type gqx.
gollark: I still struggle with ΞΎ (yes I do have Greek character macros set up for these extremely rare situations).
