Biography/Description |
|
Civilian jurist from Pavia; student of Placentinus and teacher of Carolus de Tocco. Probably always remained in a ‘minor school’ (i.e. non-Bolognese) given the extra-Bolognese character and circulation of his works. Author of several glosses, a collection of Brocardica later continued by Azo, and some distinctions. His brocard work was original for the time and highly significant for the development of the genre. Is also almost certainly the author of the Ordo iudiciorum ‘Olim quidam edebatur’. His glosses bear the siglum ‘ot.’, ‘ot. p.’, or ‘ot. pp.’ |

Text(s) |
| No. 01 | Glossae ad Corpus iuris ciuilis. Not a significant number. On Digestum vetus, Infortiatum, Digestum novum, and Codex. |
| No. 02 | Distinctiones. |
| No. 03 | Brocardica. O. Papiensis was responsible for the core of this work but probably did not write the opening brocard beginning ‘Dolum per subsequentia purgari’. This was the only of O.’s work to have significant impact in Bologna, which it achieved through Azo’s re-working of it. |
| No. 04 | Ordo iudiciarius ‘Olim quidam edebatur’, post 1177. Divided into 28 titles, ordered chronologically through the legal process. Attribution to O. Pap. has been doubted, but Lange affirms it. |
