The University of Padua had english students, but ideally you need more than 'fascinating similarities'. Paraphrases, or arguments and examples which follow the same sequence, would help to establish whether Hobbes or Locke had direct knowledge of a text. Good Luck- I've tried a similar thing myself in the past, but its tricky stuff.

I am working on a paper for my graduate studies regarding Marsilius De Padua, essentially doing a close reading of the first discourse of the Defensor Pacis. My question is this: Is there any evidence that folks like Locke and Hobbes read this work? There are some fascinating similarities in some of the ideas presented, and I am wondering whether there might be a connection. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be appreciative.
