Biography/Description

Bornius was born at Bologna shortly after 1400, where he studied the laws and obtained the doctorate in civil law, in 1425, and in canon law a decade later. Since 1438, he lectured at Bologna on the decretals and continued to do so without major interruptions until 1466. No essentially legal text of his seems to have survived. He died in 1469.
