See also:PAULUS See also:CASTRENSIS , an See also:Italian jurist of the 14th See also:century . He studied under Baldus at See also:Perugia, and was a See also:fellow-See also:pupil with See also:Cardinal Zabarella . He was admitted to the degree of See also:doctor of See also:civil See also:law in the university of See also:Avignon, but it is uncertain when he first undertook the duties of a See also:professor . A tradition, which has been handed down by Panzirolus, represents him as having taught law for a See also:period of fifty-seven years . He was professor at See also:Vienna in 1390, at Avignon in 1394, and at See also:Padua in 1429; and, at different periods, at See also:Florence, at See also:Bologna and at Perugia . He was for some See also:time the See also:vicar-See also:general of Cardinal Zabarella at Florence, and his See also:eminence as a teacher of See also:canon law may be inferred from the See also:language of one of his pupils, who styles him "famosissimus See also:juris utriusque monarca." His most See also:complete See also:treatise is his readings on the See also:Digest, and it appears from a passage in his readings on the Digestum Velus that he delivered them at a time when he had been actively engaged for See also:forty-five years as a teacher of civil law . His See also:death is generally assigned to 1436, but it appears from an entry in a MS. of the Digestum Vetus, which is extant at See also:Munich, made by the See also:hand of one of his pupils who styles him " pracceptor meus," that he died on the loth of See also:July 1441 . |
