Biography/Description |
|
Civilian jurist, born in Florence, who studied and taught in Bologna. Probably, along with Placentinus and Pillius, more a follower of Martinus and less in line with the dominant figures and currents of Azo and, later, Accursius. Students included Carolus de Tocco and Roffredus. Did not write many separate works but was important for his glosses, which were influential on Azo and Accursius. Also was responsible for the Authenticae on the Tres libri Codicis. His siglum is most often ‘Cy’, but sometimes ‘Cip’, Cyp’, or ‘Cipri’. |
