He was born in Leiden, and in 1606 was a Calvinist preacher there.

Subsequently, as a consequence of the Synod of Dort, he lost his church office in 1619. He left the country, being abroad until 1630. Studying law, he then had a career as advocate in Amsterdam.. In 1629 he converted to Roman Catholicism. 
Works.
Corvinus had been quite close to Grotius, in the 1610s, and from around 1632 taught the law. With Gerard de Wassenaer and Pieter de la Court he was one of a group of legal writers with Remonstrant sympathies who commented on reason of state; Corvinus did this in an edition of the "De arcanis rerumpublicarum" of Arnoldus Clapmarius (1641).
