IRNERIUS (Hirnerius, Hyrnerius, Iernerius, Gernerius, Guarnerius, Warnerius, Wernerius, Yrnerius) , See also:Italian jurist, sometimes referred to as " lucerna See also:juris." He taught the " See also:free arts " at See also:Bologna, his native See also:city, during the earlier decades of the 12th See also:century. Of his See also:personal See also:history nothing is known, except that it was at the instance of the countess See also:Matilda, See also:Hildebrand's friend, who died in 1115, that he directed his See also:attention and that of his students to the Institutes and See also:Code of Justinian; that after 1116 he appears to have held some See also:office under the See also:emperor See also:Henry V.; and that he died, perhaps during the reign of the emperor See also:Lothair II., but certainly before 1140. He was the first of the Glossators (see See also:GLOSS), and according to See also:ancient See also:opinion (which, however, has been much controverted) was the author of the See also:epitome of the Novellae of Justinian, called the Authentica, arranged according to the titles of the Code. His Formularium tabellionum (a See also:directory for notaries) and Quaestiones (a See also:book of decisions) are no longer extant. (See See also:ROMAN See also:LAW.)
