Biography/Description |
|
Jurist and judge who was very active in Bolognese legal and political affairs. Probably born of a Piacenzan family, although Savigny thought he was from Bologna. It is unclear who his teacher was. First appears as iudex in 1200; also did some teaching beginning c.1204. His students included Odofredus. Not among the greatest legal minds of his time, but he made a significant impact in procedural matters and was respected for his writings on such matters. Several works have been attributed to Bagarottus, but his involvement with them, if any, remains in question. These works include the treatises Cum periculosum sit mihi, which seems to be identical to a work by Ubertus de Bonacurso, and De reprobatione testium, probably by Jacobus Balduini, both mentioned by Savigny. They also include a Libellus fugitivus, part of which Bagarottus may have been responsible for but most of which seems to have emerged in southern France at the beginning of the 13th c. |

| No. 01 | Cavillationes. A successful compendium of varying lengths in the manuscripts consisting of a re-working of four procedural tracts by other authors: (1) Summa ‘Precibus et instantia’ by Pillius, (2) Summa de reprobatione instrumentorum ‘Quoniam nonnulli’ by Pontius de Ilerda, (3) Summa de testibus ‘Testes examinantur hoc modo’ by an otherwise unknown Nicolaus, and (4) Tractatus ‘Hec si quidem arbor’ (or Libellus de preparatoriis litium) by Guizardinus. |
| No. 02 | Consilia. Only one has been edited. |
| No. 03 | Glossae ad Codicem. Only two have been found (by Bellomo); they are the sole trace of exegetical activity by Bagarottus on any part of the Corpus iuris civilis. |
| No. 04 | Tractatus ‘Cum periculosum sit mihi’. Procedural treatise on objections to a judge. Exhibits significant overlap with a treatise by Ubertus de Bonacurso; Johannes Andreae even commented on the plagiarism but did not know who had copied from whom. |
