Biography/Description |
|
B. was born in Verona, c. 1420, into a wealthy patrician family, the son of Michele and Caterina Giuliari. His paternal grandfather, Giovanni, had been an influential judge; his father was a silk merchant. B. first studied law at Bologna, where he was taught by the civilians Florianus a Sancto Petro and Angelus de Gambiglionibus, and the canonist Johannes de Anania. He then moved to Padova, where he studied under Paulus de Castro, Franciscus Capilistius, and Jacobus Alvarottus. Here he completed his doctorate in utroque on 21 April 1445, sponsored by Antonius de Rosellis and others for canon law and by Daniel Doctoris and others for civil law. Immediately after his graduation, B. was enrolled in the college of judges and lawyers of Verona. In 1446, the bishop of Padova, Pietro Donato, asked B. to comment publicly on the De aedilicio edicto (Dig. 21.1). He was summoned in 1449–1450 to teach in Ferrara, but his position there was either terminated early or never began. Instead, B. is found at Verona in 1450 drafting a new edition of the city’s statutes. He remained there for several years, serving in various legal and civic roles. In 1457, B. resumed teaching, first privately in Verona. A repetitio on De fugitivis servis (C. 6.1.3) survives from this period. In 1458, he was appointed an ordinary professor (in the first morning chair) of canon law at Padova. In 1460, he began to read extraordinarie (during the afternoon) in civil law. In the following year he obtained a chair in civil law, which he held until his death. During this time, B. had a well-known dispute with his colleague in civil law, Alexander Tartagnus, about academic rank. He taught only civil law after 1470. While continuing his legal activities and teaching duties in Padova, B. was also appointed a consistorial advocate in the Roman Curia. He was made a palatine count and a knight by Frederick III in 1469. These titles were confirmed, and the titles of “count palatine cum armis,” “counselor,” and “family member of the emperor” were added on 24 July 1471, when B. participated in the Diet of Regensburg as a member of the Venetian delegation. B. then returned to Padova and to teaching. He fell ill in March of 1475 and left teaching, dying in May of that year. He was buried in the church of S. Orsola in Padova. B. married Marta Verità of Verona, with whom he had five sons (Michele, Leonardo, Giovanni, Ludovico, and Girolamo). She died in Padova sometime after 1459. B. remarried on 12 February 1470; his new wife was Orsolina Calza (daughter of the jurist Ludovicus) of Padova, with whom he had three daughters (Paola, Contessa, and Bartolomea). B’s best-known works are his treatises, De servitutibus urbanorum praediorum and De servitutibus rusticorum praediorum, which were based on courses he taught at Padova on praedial servitudes in 1460–1461. These were first published in 1473–1474 in Roma and Perugia and then republished many times into the eighteenth century; they were also translated into German in the 16th century and into Italian in the 18th. P. Liver ventured that they were the “meistgedruckte juristische Monographie” from the 15th until the 19th centuries. The two treatises, always published together as if they were a single work, were a model for contemporary jurists; they provide a comprehensive picture of the subject and present solutions to practical problems. As G. Rossi notes, these treatises fruitfully integrate the academic and the practical; B. was closely linked to the traditions of the ius commune, uninterested in the novel humanistic approaches. B’s printed works are less defined by his teaching than were those of some of his contemporaries. There is more of this sort of work in manuscript. Only B’s Commentaria on De verborum significatione (Dig. 50.16) (Lyon 1551) and the Repetitio in Codicem De fugitivis servis, 1. Si fugitivi (Brescia 1490) were printed as separate works, though the so-called Opera omnia (Lyon 1577–1578) contains a more generous selection. B. had, however, a rich and varied production outside of the strictly academic. His numerous consilia relating to the various institutions of civil law are particularly notable. A collection of 80 of them about criminal law was published at Brescia in 1490 with a table by his sons, Michele and Leonardo. It saw considerable publishing success due to the novelty of B’s approach. He focused on the practice of criminal law, a topic hitherto neglected by academic lawyers. A printed collection of his consilia about civil law was not published until 1533, and saw fewer editions than those about criminal law. Many of B’s consilia remain in manuscript. B. also edited the Consilia of Paulus de Castro (Venezia 1475). Equally important is a collection of B’s cautelae on the various fields of law, especially as practiced in court. They suggested methods for achieving legal goals that were arguably prohibited by the law – but without technically violating the law. This collection was written in two parts (in 1459 and 1472) and is found in several manuscripts and in print; the first edition appeared in Perugia in 1473–1474. The collection remained popular until the middle of the seventeenth century. The treatise De interpretatione legis extensiva (written in 1469, 1st ed. Venezia 1557) is a major work. It aims to focus on the character of, and limits to, the interpretative work of the jurist. G. Rossi offers an in-depth analysis and discussion of this work and concludes that B. was able to adhere to the tradition while at the same time affirming and expanding the freedom of interpretation of the doctor iuris. A second, shorter treatise of B’s appeared in 1460, dedicated to Ermolao Barbaro, bishop of Verona: Tractatus de contractibus simulatis or De contractibus emptionum et locationum cum pacto de retrovertendo simulatis (1st ed. Roma 1474, also in TUI 1584). It was concerned with the detection and disguising of usury. B. displays originality in his treatise De imperatore militum deligendo (c. 1454, 1st ed., Roma 1474, and thereafter often found in various publications De re militari in conjunction with the Tractatus of Paris de Puteo, e.g., TUI 1584). This text was in the nature of a long consilium dedicated to clarifying the legal terms of a dispute between two famous captains, Gentile della Leonessa and Bartolomeo Colleoni. It examines the qualifications necessary to become commander in chief of the Venetian armies. B. concluded that Venezia could entrust military command on the basis of a political evaluation of the merits and titles of the claimants that could not be questioned so long as the proper form was followed. B. was less productive and influential in the field of canon law. A repetitio De testamentis et ultimis voluntatibus (X 3.26), survives in manuscript. A Tractatus de cognitione librorum iuris canonici (published, seemingly for the first time in Tractatus (Lyon 1549), also in TUI 1584) displays an interest in the external history of canon law. Equally lacking is an attention to feudal law. B’s only known works on the subject are a Lectura feudorum and a repetitio De feudi cognitione held in Padova in 1469, both of which survive only in manuscript. A few non-juristic works survive. The Libellus de dolore tolerando (1466–1467), dedicated to the cardinal Juan de Carvajal, papal legate to Venezia, attempts to persuade the cardinal to intercede with Pope Paul II to prevent B. ending his life in disgrace. (The details of this story are unfortunately unknown.) There is also a poem addressed to Emperor Frederick III urging him to take up arms against the Turks and a little treatise, in manuscript, entitled De vita ac modo vivendi in Studio which was composed in Bologna in 1442. B’s death at a fairly young age and apparently quite suddenly probably accounts for the somewhat disheveled state of the survival of his works both in manuscript and in early printed editions. Our descriptions of the manuscripts are based, to a considerable extent, on G. Dolezalek’s Manuscripta juridica, who, in turn, relied on printed catalogues, some quite old. Our examination of some of the manuscripts that are available online or of more recent catalogues has led to a number of corrections. More will surely follow. We have included among the early printed editions all the incunabula that have GW numbers. We have also included some to which we have found references to incunabula outside of GW. We are suspicious of these references but include them for the sake of completeness. References to printings after 1500 are highly selective. The so-called Opera omnia of 1577–1578 does, however, contain a considerable amount of B’s ‘academic’ work that the printers of incunabula missed. What we have found so far both in manuscript and in print suggests that more of B’s ‘academic’ work survives than G. Rossi knew about. |

Text(s) |
| No. 01_0 | Lecturae. |
| No. 01_1 | Lectura feudorum, ?1469. The temptation to think of this item as being connected with, if not the same thing as, Text 03_3 is strong. |
| No. 01_2 | Lectura in Codicem, 1446 X 1475. There are three manuscript witnesses. In one the catalogue indicates that it is confined to book 2. The second contains Cod. 7.26 through Cod. 7.43.8, and is clearly incomplete. The third contains a substantial portion of Cod. 6. All may be a reworkings of the Lectura in Codicem of Paulus de Castro. More work with the manuscripts is called for. See also Text 09_5. |
| No. 01_3 | Lectura in Digestum, 1446 X 1475. |
| No. 02_0 | Commentaria. Although there are various ways to distinguish commentaria from lecturae and repetitiones, the distinctions among them are not sharp. |
| No. 02_1 | Ad tit. De aedilicio edicto (Dig. 21.1), 1446. See the Biography. |
| No. 02_2 | Ad tit. De verborum significatione (D.50.16), 1446 X 1475. No manuscript has yet been found, and the first printed edition did not appear until 75 years after B’s death. |
| No. 03_0 | Repetitiones. As the Biography notes, there are relatively few of these in comparison with some of B’s academic contemporaries. |
| No. 03_1 | In C. De fugitivis servis, Si fugitivi (C. 6.1.3), 1457. |
| No. 03_2 | In Liber extra, De testamentis et ultimis voluntatibus (X 3.26). This text enjoyed some printing success. It may be the equivalent of Text 09_4. |
| No. 03_3 | In De feudi cognitione (L.F. 2.1), 1469. The temptation to think of this text as connected Text 01_1, if not the same, is strong. |
| No. 03_4 | In C. De confessis, Confessus (Cod. 7.59.1), 1446 X 1475. |
| No. 04 | Cautelae advocatorum or Tractatus de cautelis. As noted in the Biography, this work was written in two parts. Some of the manuscripts contain only the first part; at least one contains both parts; some require further examination. While we have preserved the traditional distinction between the two parts, it may be better to think of this text as one on which B. continued to work for some period of time. It is also possible that some of the versions that appear in early printed editions have been expanded by authors other than B. |
| No. 04_1 | Part 1, 1459. |
| No. 04_2 | Parts 1 and 2, 1459 and 1472. |
| No. 04_3 | Contents uncertain, 1459 X 1472. |
| No. 05 | Consilia, 1446 X 1475. There are quite a few of these in manuscript only. The printed editions, which begin shortly after B’s death, distinguish between those rendered in criminal cases and those rendered in non-criminal cases. That distinction does not seem to appear in the manuscripts, but analysis of the manuscripts has just begun. |
| No. 06 | Consiliorum Pauli de Castro editio, 1446 X 1475. Noted in the Biography. B’s contribution to the printed edition is unclear. One is tempted to think that he composed the repertorium, or that the printer put together the repertorium on the basis of B’s annotations in his copy of his teacher’s consilia. |
| No. 07 | Tractatus, 1446 X 1475. See also 09, below. |
| No. 07_01 | De servitutibus urbanorum praediorum, 1460–1461. This and the following work usually appear together both in manuscript and in print, but they bear separate titles. |
| No. 07_02 | De servitutibus rusticorum praediorum, 1460–1461. |
| No. 07_03 | De contractibus simulatis, 1460. Also known as De contractibus emptionum et locationum cum pacto de retrovertendo simulatis. |
| No. 07_04 | De interpretatione legis extensiva, 1469. See the Biography. |
| No. 07_05 | De cognitione librorum iuris canonici, before 1468. The date comes from the colophon of one the manuscripts. The dedicatee is probably Nicolò Donà (Donato, Donati) (1434–1497). |
| No. 07_06 | De imperatore militum deligendo, c. 1454. See the Biography. |
| No. 08 | Non-juridical works. |
| No. 08_01 | Libellus de dolore tolerando, 1466–1467. See the Biography. |
| No. 08_02 | Verses addressed to Frederick III, 1446 X 1475. See the Biography. |
| No. 08_03 | De vita ac modo vivendi in Studio, 1442. See the Biography. Said to be in manuscript, but we have so far not found a citation to the manuscript. |
| No. 09_0 | Dubia. With the exception of Text 09_6, the following items are evidenced by one citation in a manuscript catalogue. Only Text 09_5 is in print; none is discussed in any of the literature about B. that we have examined. Where the manuscript is available online, we have identified the items in question and placed them in the appropriate places above. Where it is not, we suspect that the catalogue contains a misdescription of a known work of B’s and suggest in the manuscript description what that work might be. |

De praescriptionibus. |
| Manuscript | München, BSB Clm 6585 (On the basis of an old catalogue, Dolezalek reports this item under Clm 6568 and then reports the manuscript as lost. For some time, we had the same item under Clm 6585, a signature that Dolezalek does not use. (Perhaps the manuscript was not lost but renumbered.) Clm 6585 is now available online, and what was listed as, presumably, a tractatus De praescriptionibus would seem to be B’s lectura on portions of book 7 of the Codex that contain, among other things, the titles on prescription. We list it above under Text 01_2.) |

Ordo iudiciarius. |
| Manuscript | München, BSB Clm 14533 (On the basis of an old catalogue, Dolezalek reports that this manuscript contains an Ordo iudiciarius by B. It does contain an ordo, the Processus iudicii of Johannes Urbach. It also contains B’s De cognitione librorum iuris canonici (above, under Text 07_5), but the ordo by B. is a phantom.) |

| No. 09_6 |
Tractatus |
| Manuscript | Nürnberg, Stadtbibl. Cent. VI.7 (There are two manuscripts so described in Dolezalek. The Nürnberg manuscript is available online. It contains three items the might be described as tractatus. They are listed above under Text 04_3, 07_3, and 07_6.) |
Verona, Bibl. Cap. CCXLIX (220), fol. 72r-75v (The Verona manuscript is not available online, but there is a catalogue published in 1996 that was not available to Dolezalek. The catalogue gives a probable date for this part of the manuscript of 1465, a shelfmark, and a description of the item 4: Rubric: “Incipit tractatus domini Bertholomei Cepolle veronensis in materia quando domino equiparatur an sit bonum argumentum de uno ad aliud.” Incipit: “Quia saepe dubitatur quando domino.” We suspect that this is an extract from the Cautelae, but only an examination in situ would tell.) |

Cautelae advocatorum |
| Early Printed Editions |
Examination of the items that are available online shows that there is considerable variation in those that are said to contain Parts 1 and 2. Four of the incunabula contain 325 numbered cautelae. Those that have the standard incipit and explicit for Parts 1 and 2 but contain fewer than 325 cautelae or do not seem to have enough pages for 325 cautelae are listed as of uncertain contents. There are probably more among those that we have listed for Parts 1 and 2 but have not been able to examine online. The fact that the Opera omnia contains only 257 numbered cautelae increases the possibility that the incunabula with 325 contain cautelae that are not by B., but there are other possibilities, including simple misnumbering. |

Venezia, 1485 (GW 6499) (online). Interspersed between the urban and rustic servitudes is a collection of B’s cautelae. The incipit and explicit match the standard for Parts 1 and 2, but it does not looks as if there is enough room for 325 cautelae. |
|
Venezia, 1488 (GW 6500) (online). Text 07_1: fol. [2r]–[40v]. Cautelae, unnumbered: fol. [42r]–[71v] Text 07_2: fol. [73r} (numbered in hand fol. 236) – fol. [112r }(fol. 275r in hand).Incipit and explicit suggest Text 04_2, but there does not seem to be enough space to contain them all. |
|
Pavia, 1492 (GW 6504) (online). Cautelae: fol. [79]–[255]. Same incipit and explicit as Text 04_2, but only 255 numbered cautelae. Principle of selection unclear. Also contains Text 07_01, 07_02, and 07_03 with separate colophons. |
|
Venezia, 1493 (GW 6502) (online). An edition of 255 of B’s cautelae is said to precede the two tracts on servitudes. In the online edition it follows urban servitudes, and rustic servitudes are not included. As in the case of GW 6504, the principle of selection of the cautelae is not clear. |

Tractatus de usucapione. |

Opera omnia: Tractatus de usucapione pro emptore, pro donato, pro dote, pro suo, pro soluto, pro legato, pro derelicto. Lyon, 1577–1578, 387–455 (online). Not said to be the first printing, but it is the only one that we have found. De usucapione pro emptore, pro donato, and pro dote are Cod. 7.26, 7.27, 7.28, respectively. The rest are not Codex titles as such, but they could well follow Cod. 7.29 (pro suo = pro herede in the modern ed.) and Cod. 7.30 (Communia de usucapionibus). These parallels tends to confirm the suggestion made in Manuscripts that this item is derived from B’s lectura on Cod. 7. |

Opera omnia, 1446 X 1475. |
| Early Printed Editions |
D. Bartholomaei Caepollae Veronensis iurisconsulti doctissimi et celeberrimi, Omnia quae quidem nunc extant opera. Lyon: Sumptibus Philippi Tinghi Florentini, 1577–1578, [12], 836, [84] pages; folio, double-column (online). The only such edition, so far as we are aware, to appear. The contents are analyzed above under their proper texts with the title Opera omnia. It is large book with comprehensive summaries and indices. It does not contain any of B’s consilia, and other works of his are also missing, but it does contain Text 02_1 and 09_5, which we have not found printed elsewhere. In addition to the works attributed to B., it contains “Tractatus D. Johannis Thierri I.U.D. totam materiam fugae Laconice complectens” (p. 735b-737a) (see Report t199), which is closely related to Text 03_1 which precedes it, and “Consilium D. Signoroli de Homeleis & Raphaelis Fulgosii Doctorum” (p. 737a–b), which has to do with decisory oaths, and was probably put in to fill out what would otherwise have been a blank column. |
