Albericus Metensis (also Alberico di Metz; de Metis; Metonensis; Ultramontanus; Albéric; etc.). He was born in Metz, probably around 1280. A. spent some time in Paris, but we do not know if he studied, taught law or simply lived there for a while. He was rector of the University of Orléans by 1315/16, but in 1316 he moved to Nevers with other professors and students. A. was professor utriusque iuris and held a series of other ecclesiastical positions. In 1316 he was named a canon in Metz; some years later he became archdeacon, a position which he held until 1352. By 1323 A. was a papal chaplain and auditor. Around the same time he produced his only known legal work, an Apparatus on the Clementines, which was among the first works on this new collection (1317). In 1331 A. became a canon in Reims. He probably died in 1354.

Alberico da Rosciate (also de Rosate). Born in Rosciate, near Bergamo, around 1290. He studied in Padua under Oldradus da Ponte and Riccardus Malumbra. He studied also under Ranieri di Forlì and received advice and help from Bartolo da Sassoferrato. In the second decade of 1300 he came back to Bergamo: there he practised - but never taught - law and was actively involved in the civil life of his city, particularly as reformer of the statutes (in 1331 and 1333) and as ambassador to the papal court in Avignon (in 1335, 1337-38 and 1340-41). He died in Bergamo in 1360.

Alberto Belli (de Bellis), a Perugian, studied the laws there and first appeared among the teachers in 1472. The following year, he moved to Pisa, to lecture on canon law, but stayed there only for a year. Since 1474 until his early death in 1482, he taught at Ferrara. Although Diplovatatius asserts that he also left other legal works `not to be despised', only a few civilian repetitiones are known to have survived.

Alexander de Nevo (ca. 1419-1485). Originally from Vicenza, Alexander studied probably in Padua. After receiving his degree he taught privatly in Vicenza. In 1456 he began to teach in Padua until 1484, when he went back to his hometown. There he died in 1485. He was also iudex apostolicus, author of numerous consilia and editor of canonistic works, including Gratian's Decretum, which he had printed in Venice in 1474, under the title Decreti Gratiani cum Bartholomei Brixiensis glossa editio. A. also published (ca. 1480) the Tractatus de legitimatione emendatior of Antonii Roselli (d.1466).

Alexander Tartagnus (b. 1423/24 in Imola, d. 1477 in Bologna). He studied in Bologna under Johannes de Imola, Johannes de Anania, Angelus Aretinus and Paulus de Castro; there he obtained his doctorate in Civil Law in 1445. He began his activity as a professor of law around 1450, taught, perhaps, in Pavia (1449-50) and, certainly, in Ferrara (1457-58, 1460-61), Padua (maybe in 1459 and, without any doubt, from 1467 to 1470) and Bologna (1461-67 and 1470-77). As his literary production indicates, his interests were chiefly in matters of civil law, although A. also wrote a few comments on Liber Extra. He died there in 1477. Among his students we can find Jason, Bartholus Socinus, Bologninus and Lancellottus Decius.

Alvarus Pelagius, better known for his accomplishments as a theological writer and papal polemicist, had according to his own assertions studied canon law at Bologna under Guido de Baysio (fl. 1300). Guido in turn referred to him once as decretorum doctor. He began teaching at Bologna in the first years of the thirteenth century and participated in several disputations, as Johannes Andreae remarked in his Novelle on Liber extra and the Sextus. None of these Questiones, however, have been found. However, there may survive a treatise of his on sacrilege. In 1304, Alvaro renounced his benefices and entered the spiritual wing of the Franciscans. As a staunch defender of the papacy against Louis of Bavaria, he became a close advisor of Pope John XXII. In 1333, received the bishopric of Silves in his native Portugal. He died in 1349.

Andrea de' Guatari Benzi was born at Siena in 1410 and studied the laws at Bologna, receiving the doctorate in 1430. After serving as podestà at Mantua (1439), he began to teach law, first at Bologna (since 1443). He lectured on canon law there, 1444-46, and then transferred to Florence (1447-50), Ferrara (1450-58) and again Bologna (1459-61). In 1461, Pope Pius II appointed him curial advocate. He died in 1471. His surving lecture materials, largely unstudied, seem to bear on civil law only.

Andreas Barbatius (also Andreas Siculus, Andrea Barbazza, Andreas Bartholomaei de Sicilia, etc.) was born in Messina between 1400 and 1410. Around 1430, he went to Bologna where he began to study medicine and, later, law. Johannes de Imola, Baptista de Sancto Pedro and, perhaps, Giovanni di Anagni where his teachers. A. obtained his doctorate in canon law in 1439, but was already teaching by 1438. In 1445, Nicholas II of Ferrara called him to teach canon law there. He remained until 1446, when he returned to Bologna, which, by 1442, had granted him citizenship. A. thus became the head of a new Bolognese family of enduring fame. Its palace still survives today, facing Via Garibaldi. A. taught both civil and canon law at Bologna until 1478. Among Andreas's students were Antonio Corsetto (Corsetti), Rodrigo Borgia (later pope Alexander VI), Bartholomaeus Socinus, and Hippolytus de Marsiliis. Besides his work as teacher A. also participated in legal proceedings and wrote Consilia for his clients, among which we can number pope Paul II and King Ferdinand of Aragon. A. died at Bologna in 1479.

Andreas de Escobar, born at Lisbon in 1348, joined first the Dominicans, then (1399) the Augustinians, and finally became a Benedictine monk. In 1393, he obtained his doctorate in theology at Vienna and was later made proctor of the Duke of Austria at the papal curia, where he also served a papal penitentiary. He wrote several treatises on practical and pastoral matters such as confession and the payment of tithes. He further wrote a pamphlet concerning the agenda and organization of the Council of Basel, which he dedicated to the presiding Cardinal Giuliano Cesarini (1431). But towards the end of his very long life (d. 1448), he complained that he was never properly rewarded for his academic efforts. His income as bishop of Ciudad Rodrigo (since 1408), then Ajaccio (1422), and finally Megara (1428) was obviously low. His manuals on confession, however, eventually became a tremendous success.

Angelo Carletti da Chiavasso (d.1495), a Franciscan observant from Milan who spent much of his life as the vicar general of the order at the papal curia, wrote a widely circulating penitential Summa. His main sources were the works of his equally successful predecessors, Bartholomaeus de San Concordo (Summa Pisana) and Monaldus (Monaldina). Martin Luther burnt an exemplar of the Summa, which he called Diabolica, in a protest against catholic penitential discipline in 1520. A. also wrote a Consilium condemning the Monte dell doti of Florence and another supporting it.

Angelo da Castro (c. 1410-1485). After studying in Padua he received his doctorate there in utroque iure in 1436. Since 1437, A. was teaching Roman Law in Bologna, but already a year later he began to participate in academic activities at the University of Padua. In 1439, he became professor of Canon Law. He continued to teach law, mostly in Padua, until his death, but was also occasionally employed in Rome, Bologna and other Italian cities. Thus he spent some time in Rome as a consistorial advocat. Besides his activity as a teacher, A. participated often in the life of the city of Padua as judge and lawyer. He died in Padua in 1485.

Antonio Capodilista (also de Capiteliste, Capilistius, Caodelista) (1420-1489). A. pursued a career in the Church and held the office of of an apostolic protonotary and rector of the Churches of San Giacomo in Padua, San Floriano in Marostica, and San Giorgio in Campretto before beginning the study of law by the early 1440's. A. studied first civil law and then canon law. In 1445 he received a doctorate in both laws. Since 1445 he taught canon law at Padua. There he also carried out his activities as canon and lawyer. A. died in Padua, his hometown, in 1489.

Antonio Cocchi (de Cocchis) Donati was born at Florence in 1450. He studied law at Siena and Perugia, before he became doctor of civil law in 1473. His career as a teacher of canon and, occasionally Roman, law began at Pisa the same year, only to be terminated by his death in 1491. Unlike many of his colleagues, he never aspired an office in communal administration and was fully devoted to academic affairs.

Antonio Corsetto (Corsetti), born at Noto (Sicily) around 1450, joined the clerical ranks and studied at Bologna under Andrea Barbazza, his 'fellow Sicilian'. He received a doctorate in both laws in 1479 and lectured on canon law until 1487, when he transferred to Padua. There he produced most of his writings, which abound in scholarly annotations considered too bulky and old fashioned by some of his contemporaries. Pope Alexander VI nevertheless made him judge of the Roman Rota(1500). A year later, the Spanish king elevated him to the bishopric of Malta, but he never took possession of it. He died c. 1503.

Antonio Francesco Dottori (1442-1528). He was teaching civil law at Padua around 1464 and received his doctorate in the following year. Probably by 1472, he taught canon law there as well, and continued lecturing through the 1470's. Between 1480-82, he briefly joined the studium at Ferrara, but seems to have returned to his hometown by 1485. In 1488, he obtained the chair of secundus locus ordinarius iuris canonici, which he held until 1498 when Bertuccio Bagarotti took his place. In the following years he taught alternatively civil and canon law. During the war of the league of Cambrai, he was put first into prison and then interned by the city from 1513 to 1517, accused of having supported the Emperor Maximilian, before he was finally reinstated. Antonio died in 1528. Throughout his life he played an active part in the communal life of Padua as a lawyer and consultant.

Antonio de Gentilibus, born at Tortona, received his doctorate in civil law at Pavia in 1398. Baldus was one of his examiners. He later became a member of the delegation sent by the Duke of Milan to the Council of Constance (1414-18) which indicates the high reputation he must have enjoyed in his native region as a professor of law. Information about his canonistic teaching survives for the years 1431-32, when he lectured on the Liber sextus and the Clementine at the University of Pavia. The following year (1432-33) he failed to appear personally in class, although he had been hired to teach again. Ill health probably accounted for his absence, since the records of the University refer to him as dead ('quondam dominus Antonius') in 1434.

Antonius de Butrio (Antonio da Budrio). Born ca. 1338 as a Bolognese citizen, Antonius studied canon law in Bologna under Petrus de Ancarano. He received a doctorate in civil law in 1384, and one in canon law in 1387. Celebrated primarily as a teacher of law, his juristic writings received a mixed and often negative treatment from later jurists. From 1387 until his death in 1408, Antonius migrated frequently to teaching positions in Bologna, Perugia, Florence and Ferrara. In 1406/07 Antonius took part in a papal mission to the antipope Benedict XIII in an attempt to resolve the schism through the uia cessionis. His most important students were Johannes de Imola and Dominicus de Sancto Geminiano.

Antonius de Rosellis, born in Arezzo in 1381, probably studied law at Bologna and received his doctorate there in 1407. In the same year he began teaching civil law. Afterwards he taught at Siena and at Florence; in Siena he had Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini as his student. He was called to Rome by Pope Martin V to be a consistorial advocate, where he also served the Emperor Sigismund, the King of Naples, the College of Cardinals and pope Eugenius IV. He left Rome in 1438, once his anti-papal treatise, Monarchia, had made his position appear precarious. He became a Professor of canon law at Padua unti his retirement shortly after 1460. A. died in Padua in 1466.

Augustin Bero (Beroius, Berous). A. was born in 1474 at Bologna. He may have studied Roman law under Marianus Socinus the old and Carolus Ruinus; he certainly studied canon and civil law respectively under Florianus Dolfi and Bonifacius Fantuzzi. A. obtained his doctorate in utroque iure in 1503. In 1504 he became professor in Bologna and taught Roman law during the three following years; then he began teching canon law and carried out this activity until his death in 1554. He was also named monarcha legum. He found support in Popes Julius II and Julius III and was often employed as a consultant by princes. Gianangelo de Medici (Pope Pius IV), Hugo Boncampagni (Gregorius XIII) and the Bishop Paulus Baralio of Arezzo were among A.'s most famous students.

Azo de Ramenghis (d. 1346), a son-in-law of Johannes Andreae, taught at Bologna in 1339. He was also involved in the public life of Bologna as an ambassador for the city. He died in 1346. Often, his siglum is taken for that of the well-known civilian or of the canonist Azo de Lambertaciis, in what makes the identification of his writings difficult.

Baldassare Castelli (de Castello), born at Bologna, became a canon of S. Pietro there in 1451. He began to teach on the decretals the following year, although he did not obtain a doctorate until 1453. To his academic duties, he added the vicariate of the archdeacon of Bologna in 1459. Only for the years 1463-65 and 1466-1475, he appears to have been absent from the Bolognese studium. He died in 1484, without having produced, as it seems, any academic writings.

Baldus de Perusio (Baldus de Ubaldis, Baldo degli Ubaldi), lived from c. 1327-1400. Baldus, one of the most famous jurists of the Middle Ages, began his studies in his hometown, Perugia. He later went to Pisa, where Bartolus of Sassoferrato was among his teachers in Roman law, and Federicus Petruccius in canon law. The date of Baldus's his doctorate is unknown, but from as early as 1351 we find him as a professor of law at Perugia. Between 1357-58, he was probably at Pisa; 1359-64 at Florence; 1365-76 at Perugia; 1376-79 at Padua; 1379-90 again at Perugia; and 1390-1400 at Pavia where he also held a canon law chair at least from 1395-96. Among Baldus's students were Pierre Roger de Beaufort (Pope Gregory XI) and the jurists Petrus de Ancharano and Paulus de Castro.  Biography

In addition to teaching law, Baldus took an active role in political affairs. While at Perugia, he was employed as the advocate of the merchant's guild, held public offices and served on diplomatic missions. After the death of his teacher Bartolus in 1357, Baldus was the most renowned jurist in Europe.

As a canonist, Baldus wrote an incomplete commentary on the Decretales, as well as short works on Liber sextus, and the Clementines. He composed a Margarita to Innocent IV's commentary on the Decretales, Additiones to Guilelmus Durantis's Speculum iudiciale. Baldus wrote a variety of small treatises, but a number of treatises bearing his name are not his work. Baldus also wrote approximately 2,500 Consilia on problems ranging from simple commercial disputes to major political issues such as the Great Schism.

9. Consilia: Baldus many consilia enjoy a complex history. Manuscript evidence indicates that Baldus revised some of them years after he first drafted them. The history of the printed editions have compounded the problem by printing consilia from different periods in his life. The two earliest editions, Brescia (1490-91) and Venice (1491), seem to derive from earlier versions, while the Milan edition (dated 1489-93, though Pennington has proven that it must have been printed after the Brescia and Venice editions) and all subsequent editions derive from manuscripts which were passed on to a certain Savelli and seem to be from a later period. These editions have many different consilia than in the Brescia/Venice group and are ordered differently. Obviously, a very considerable amount of research needs to be done with the manuscripts of Baldus's consilia as well as the early printed editions to understand their development and meaning. See Pennington, `Consilia', for a more extensive discussion of these problems.

Bartholomaeus Caepolla (Cipolla). Born at Verona, c. 1420, B. began his juridical studies at Bologna under the civilians Floriano da San Pietro and Angelo Gambiglioni d'Arezzo, and the canonist Giovanni d'Anania. Therafter, he moved to Padua where he studied under Paolo da Castro, Francesco Capodilista and Iacopo Alvarotti. He obtained his doctorate at Padua in 1445 in utroque iure. Since then he lectured as a professor of civil law. In 1449-50, he taught at Ferrara, but he soon moved to his native city. In Verona he took an active role in civic affairs and practiced law. In 1458 he returned to teach in Padua, at first alternatively canon and civil law, then civil law only (since 1470). By 1459 he was named a consistorial advocate. B. was also an official representative of the Venetian governement to the Diet of Regensburg. He abandoned teaching in 1475 to be replaced by Antonio Francesco Dottori and died at Padua in the same year.

Bartolomeo Sozzini (Socinus), the son of Marianus senior and uncle of Marianus iunior (1482-1556), both renowned jurists, was born at Siena in 1436. B. studied in Siena under his father and Tommaso Decio; he studied also at Bologna under Alexander Tartagnus and Andreas Barbatius, and at Pisa under Francesco Accolti d'Arezzo. He began teaching in Siena where he read canon law in 1471. In that year he moved to Ferrara where he taught until 1473. During those years 1471-73, B. held disputations at Padua, Pavia and Turin. Then he moved to Pisa, where he lived until 1494, and then on to Bologna, where he lived from 1496 to 1498. Thereafter, he accepted a position as teacher of civil law at the University of Padua for three years. In 1501, he returned, imporverished, to Siena, where he died in 1507. His unsteady life and character made him one of the great Renaissance figures of the legal profession. His writings, though in large part civilian, occasionally touch upon matters of canon law, especially in his consilia and questiones.

Benedict XIII (Petrus de Luna) was the last Avignonese pope during the Great Schism (1394-1417). Born in Aragón, ca. 1342/43, Petrus had studied canon law at Montpellier since 1361 and is said to have lectured there on the Decretum in the 1370's. In 1375, he was made cardinal, whence he played a prominent part in the turbulent papal elections of 1378. His juridical training is reflected in his writings as a cardinal and pope, which altogether defend the position of the Avignonese papacy. Petrus died in 1422. A treatise of the thirteenth century had been attributed to him (Stella clericorum), but Eric H. Reiter has proven that this work cannot be Petrus de Luna's (For bibliographical reference to Reiter's work, see Pedro Fernández de Villegas, below)

Benedictus Capra (de Benedictis) was born at Perugia in the 1390's. Little is known about his legal studies, and he first appears as a judge of his native commune in 1420. Most likely, he studied under Johannes de Imola at Bologna, whom he once mentioned as his teacher. He himself began to lecture at Perugia in 1422, first on the Liber sextus, since 1438 until his death (1470) on the Decretales (X). During these almost fifty years, produced a vast literature, including several revisions of his Lecture. His numerous consilia, moreover, reveal his involvement in the civic affairs of his hometown. By the end of his life, he was not only among the most famous jurists of Italy, but had also become one of the wealthiest citizens of Perugia.

Bérenger de Frédol (Berengarus Fredoli) B. was born at Lavérune (Hérault). Since Guilelmus de Mandagoto mentions him as his teacher, he must have spent some of his earlier years as a teacher of canon law at Bologna. His most important student was Guielmus de Mandagato. B. also seems to have taught at Paris. He received the bishopric of Beziers in 1294. From there he embarked on an ecclesiastical career and soon became an important curial official. Another indication of an earlier legal training, B. was one of the editors of the Liber sextus (1298). He was later elevated to the cardinalate by Clement V in 1305 and promoted Cardinal bishop of Tusculum in 1309. During the pontificate of Clement V, B. was deeply involved in the proceedings against the Templars. He died at Avignon in 1323.

Bernardus Guidonis, born in the diocese of Limoges, ca. 1261-62, entered the Dominican order in 1279 and served as the prior of several convents in the region. From 1306-24, he was inquisitorial judge in Toulouse, where he gained many insights into the practical aspects of contemporary judicial practice. His handbook for inquisitors reflects that experience. He also held high positions as the representative of his order in Rome. In 1324, he became bishop of Tuy, later of Lodève. He died in 1331.

Bernardus Raimundi Maioricensis was archdeacon of Maiorca and professor of canon law at Montpellier during the first few years of the 14th century. Bernardus wrote an apparatus on Liber sextus (1305/06), which he revised before 1311, this time using the recently published commentary of Johannes Andreae. The work reflects a great interest in judicial matters.

Boniface VIII, Pope (Benedict Gaetani); lived from c. 1235 until 1303. A canon law graduate of Bologna, he entered papal service in 1264; He became cardinal in 1281 and was elected pope, 1294, following the abdication of Celestine V. His pontificate was overshadowed by his controversy with Philip IV of France, culminating in the seizure of the pope in his Anagni residence, and his death soon thereafter. With the Liber sextus decretalium (1298), he made a lasting contribution to ecclesiastical law, selecting and codifying what he considered the essence of papal legislation during the years since the appearance of Liber extra (1234-98). His famous decretal, Unam Sanctam (1302), on the other hand, represented the most daring (and unprecedented) assertion of papal supremacy over temporal jurisdiction and was quickly rescinded.

Bonifacius Ammannati studied law at Padua around 1370. Later on, he returned to his native city, Avignon, to teach. The Avignonese popes of called upon him to serve in political missions. In 1397 he was made cardinal, despite the fact was a layman. He died in prison at Aigues Mortes in 1399. His extensive Lectura on the Clementines had only a limited circulation, and when it was finally printed in 1522, it appeared under the spurious name of Bonifacius Vitalini.

Bonifacius Antelini (Antelmi, Vitalini) from a Mantuan family, was probably the jurist in the service of various Northern Italian communes who appears in documents from 1299-1306. He was the author of a criminal treatise (ca.1300/01), which since its first print in 1499 circulated under the name of Bonifacius Vitalini. Other works early modern editors likewise ascribed to this author, most notably the Lectura Clementinarum of Bonifacius Ammannati.

Bornio da Sala was born at Bologna shortly after 1400, where he studied the laws and obtained the doctorate in civil law, in 1425, and in canon law a decade later. Since 1438, he lectured at Bologna on the decretals and continued to do so without major interruptions until 1466. No essentially legal text of his seems to have survived. He died in 1469.
