Gazuli attended schools in Shkodër and Dubrovnik, and in 1430 he graduated from the University of Padua. He lived and worked in Dominican Friary in Dubrovnik. In 1432 he traveled to the Hungarian royal court where he attempted to persuade Sigismund I to support Albanian resistance against the Ottoman Empire. He broke his mission off in 1433, when he was appealed to be a professor of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Padua. Years later he was acting as a diplomat with the Italian principalities' courts, representing the interests of Skanderbeg and of the League of Lezhë.[2]
His lasting mathematical and astronomical works were written in Latin. He had a reputation for considerable knowledge in Italy and in Hungary, as well. His brother, Pal Gazuli (1405–1470), was the diplomat of Skanderbeg and of the League of Lezhë in Ragusa.[2] He had a second brother named Andrea Gazuli, also mentioned as prominent.[citation needed]
