BALDUS DE UBALDIS, PETRUS (1327–1406) , See also:

Italian jurist, a member of the See also:noble See also:family of the Ubaldi (Baldeschi), was See also:born at See also:Perugia in 1327, and studied See also:civil See also:law there under See also:Bartolus, being admitted to the degree of See also:doctor of•civil law at the See also:early See also:age of seventeen. Federicus Petrucius of See also:Siena is said to have been the See also:master under whom he studied See also:canon law. Upon his See also:pro-See also:motion to the doctorate he at once proceeded to See also:Bologna, where he taught law for three years; after which he was advanced to a professorship at Perugia, where he remained for See also:thirty-three years. He taught law subsequently at See also:Pisa, at See also:Florence, at See also:Padua and at See also:Pavia, at a See also:time when the See also:schools of law in those See also:universities disputed the See also:palm with the school of Bologna. He died at Pavia on the 28th of. See also:April 1406. The extant See also:works of Baldus hardly See also:bear out the See also:great reputation whicll he acquiredamongst his contemporaries, due partly to the active See also:part he took in public affairs, and partly to the fame he acquired by his consultations, of which five volumes have been published (See also:Frankfort, 1589). Baldus was the master of See also:Pierre See also:Roger de See also:Beaufort, who became See also:pope under the See also:title of See also:Gregory XI., and whose immediate successor, See also:Urban VI., summoned Baldus to See also:Rome to assist him by his consultations in 138o against the See also:anti-pope See also:Clement VII. See also:Cardinal de Zabarella and See also:Paulus See also:Castrensis were also amongst his pupils. His Commentary on the See also:Liber Feudorum; is considered to be one of the best of his works, which were unfortunately See also:left by him for the most part in an incomplete See also:state. His See also:brothers See also:Angelus (1328–1407) and Petal's (1335–1400) were of almost equal See also:eminence witll himself as jurists.
