Nicholas Leonicus Thomaeus was historically a Greek, not Albanian, scholar. His contemporaries like Demetris Chalcondyles never knew him as ethnically Albanian or ever regarded him as ethnically Albanian. Here are some facts from Deno J. Geanakoplos, a modern historian who studied Thomaeus:

"Born in Venice of Greek parents (wrongly termed Albania by some scholars), Tomaeus as a youth was sent to study in Florence, where at its stadium he read Greek literature and philosophy with his famed compatriot, Demetrius Chalcondyles." (page 358)
