Vidal Benveniste de Porta (; died 1268) was the Jewish '' batlle'' of Barcelona, Girona and Leida and a brother of Nahmanides. Benveniste was an important official of Barcelona and the tax collector and treasurer (bailiff) of King Jaume I of Aragon.

Hugo De Porta Ravennate
Hugo de Porta Ravennate was an Italian jurist, and member of the Glossators of Bologna. He came from a noble family who had residence in the city of Bologna, but whose family name meant "the gate of Ravenna". Study and teaching at the University of Bologna, Hugo was one of the "four doctors", a group of disciples of Irnerius who were formative in the development of European law. Their authority was such that the four lawyers were called by Frederick Barbarossa as directors imperial in the diet of Roncaglia in 1158. This royal patronage allowed them to secure privileges for the newly developing institution of the university, at Bologna. It is not known when he died but it was after 1166 AD, when a document is attested to him, but no later than 1171 AD, when a document mentions his widow. He wrote the glosses to the recovered Roman law, the ''distinctiones'' and ''Summula de pugna''.Albrecht Classen,Handbook of Medieval Culture, Volume 3 (Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG, 201 p ...
