Biography/Description |
|
Student of Bulgarus (and/or possibly Martinus); somewhat older contemporary of Johannes Bassianus. Most likely from Bologna from the quarter of the Porta Ravennate. Documented as lawyer, judge, or doctor (professor) of law from 1165 to 1194. Enjoyed a great teaching career and was highly esteemed in civilian as well as ecclesiastical circles. Few texts of his have been edited, but he was cited often by future glossators and seems to have been held in esteem comparable to that of the Four Doctors. His glosses bear the siglum ‘A’, ‘Al’, ‘Alb’, and ‘Albri’. |
