Biography/Description

Ludovicus was born at Bologna in 1446 and studied law under Alexandrus Tartagnus and Andrea Barbazza. He received the doctorate in civil law in 1469, in canon law in 1470, whereupon he held his first lectures on the Sextus and the Clementines. In 1473, he went to Ferrara to teach the Digest for five years, until he returned to his hometown to accept important offices in the communal government. He also continued his academic activities and was the consistorial advocate of the pope in absentia. From 1501–05, he worked predominantly at Florence, then again at Bologna. Although Ludovicus was once again mentioned as a teacher of the Decretales in 1507–08, he appears to have already departed for France by November 1507 to serve in his new function as Bolognese ambassador. He died upon his return a year later, in Florence.
