Accursia
Accursia of Accorsia (ca. 1230–1281) was allegedly an Italian jurist from Bologna, whose existence is debated. Said to be a daughter of prominent Bolognan lawyer Accorso da Bagnolo, Accursia is said to have taught law in the Bologna studium, becoming a model of a cultured woman, capable of carrying out the activities reserved for men. She is also said to have written a tract about "whether a woman should be taken by an educated man, and if so what sort of man?" Doubts about the existence of Accursia arose in the Eighteenth Century when the Camaldolese father Mauro Sarti, historian of the University of Bologna, found no trace of her in the ancient documents of the studium. The earliest mention of Accursia is found in a document by the jurist Alberico da Rosciate, who wrote "I heard that Accursius had a daughter, who actually studied at Bologna" suggesting that her existence was dubious. While there is some doubt about there being a female lawyer named Accursia, there are bet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Accursius
Accursius (Italian: ''Accursio'' or ''Accorso di Bagnolo''; c. 11821263) was an Italian jurist. He is notable for his organization of the glosses, the medieval comments on Justinian's codification of Roman law, the ''Corpus Juris Civilis''. He was not proficient in the classics, but he was called "the Idol of the Jurisconsults". Biography Accursius was born at Impruneta, near Florence. A pupil of Azo, he first practised law in his native city, and was afterwards appointed professor at Bologna, where he had great success as a teacher. He undertook to arrange into one body the tens of thousands of comments and remarks upon the ''Code'', the ''Institutes'' and '' Digests''. Accursius assembled from the various earlier glosses for each of these texts a coherent and consistent body of glosses. This compilation, soon given the title ''Glossa ordinaria'' or ''magistralis'', and usually known as the ''Great Gloss'', was essentially complete at about 1230. While Accursius was employed ...
