little is known about the private life of thomas cauchi. neither his dates of birth and death nor his birthplace in malta are identified as yet. he might have lectured at the "collegium melitense" see in valletta. he surely lectured in messina, sicily. unfortunately, most the works of cauchi are as yet lost. at least three are known to have existed, all dealing with the philosophy of law. of these just one is still extant, which is the third volume of what is thought to have been a triad. unfortunately, no known portrait of cauchi is known to exist yet.
