Biography/Description |
|
Glossator who studied in Bologna under Azo as well as Hugolinus but was originally from Provence. Taught in Bologna as ‘magister’, but it seems unlikely he ever attained the title of ‘doctor’. At some point before 1222, returned to the south of France, to Montpellier, where he was active as legal adviser and judge at least until 1234. From 1243 was cleric in Béziers before rising to the rank of archdeacon before his death, probably in or shortly after 1257. Important for a procedural tract that was collected into Roffredus’ widespread De libellis et ordine iudiciorum. |
