ALBERICO See also:GENTILI (1552—16o8)
, See also:Italian jurist, who has See also:great claims to be considered the founder of the See also:science of See also:international See also:law, second son of Matteo See also:Gentili, a physician of See also:noble See also:family and scientific See also:eminence, was See also:born on the 14th of See also:January 1552 at Sanginesio, a small See also:town of the See also:march of See also:Ancona which looks down from the slopes of the See also:Apennines upon the distant Adriatic
.
After taking the degree of See also:doctor of See also:civil law at the university of See also:Perugia, and holding a judicial See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office at See also:Ascoli, he returned to his native See also:city, and was entrusted with the task of recasting its statutes, but, sharing the See also:Protestant opinions of his See also:father, shared also, together with a See also:brother, Scipio, afterwards a famous See also:professor at See also:Altdorf, his See also:flight to See also:Carniola, where in 1579 Matteo was appointed physician to the duchy
.
The See also:Inquisition condemned the fugitives as contumacious, and they soon received orders to quit the dominions of See also:Austria
.
Alberico set out for See also:England, travelling by way of See also:Tubingen and See also:Heidelberg, and everywhere See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting with the reception to which his already high reputation entitled him
.
He arrived at See also:- OXFORD

Oxford in the autumn of 158o, with a commendatory See also:letter from the See also:earl of See also:Leicester, at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time See also:chancellor of the university, and was shortly afterwards qualified to See also:teach by being admitted to the same degree which he had taken at Perugia
.
His lectures on See also:Roman law soon became famous, and the dialogues, disputations and commentaries, which he published henceforth in rapid See also:succession, established his position as an accomplished civilian, of the older and severer type, and secured his See also:appointment in 1587 to the regius professorship of civil law
.
It was, however, rather by an application of the old learning to the new questions suggested by the See also:modern relations of states that his labours have produced their most lasting result
.
In 1584 he was consulted by See also:government as to the proper course to be pursued with See also:Mendoza, the See also:Spanish See also:ambassador, who had been detected in plotting against See also:Elizabeth
.
He See also:chose the topic to which his See also:attention had thus been directed as a subject for a disputation when Leicester and See also:Sir See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip See also:Sidney visited the See also:schools at Oxford in the same See also:year; and this was six months later See also:expanded into a See also:book, the De legationibus libri tres
.
In 1588 Alberico selected the law of See also:war as the subject of the law disputations at the See also:annual " See also:Act " which took See also:place in See also:July; and in the autumn published in See also:London the De Jure See also:Belli commentatio prima
.
A second and a third Commentatio followed, and the whole See also:matter, with large additions and improvements, appeared at See also:Hanau, in 1598, as the De Jure Belli See also:libel tres
.
It was doubtless in consequence of the reputation gained by these See also:works that Gentili became henceforth more and more engaged in forensic practice, and resided chiefly in London, leaving his Oxford See also:work to be partly discharged by a See also:deputy
.
In 1600 he was admitted to be a member of See also:- GRAY

king of See also:Spain
.
He died on the loth of See also:June 16o8, and was buried, by the See also:side of Dr Matteo Gentili, who had followed his son to England, in the See also:churchyard of St See also:Helen's, Bishopsgate
.
By his wife, Hester de Peigni, he See also:left two sons, See also:Robert and See also:Matthew, and a daughter, See also:Anna, who married Sir See also:John See also:Colt
.
His notes of the cases in which he was engaged for the Spaniards were posthumously published in 1613 at Hanau, as His panicae advocationis libri duo
.
This was in accordance with his last wishes; but his direction that the See also:remainder of his See also:MSS. should be burnt was not complied with, since fifteen volumes of them found their way, at the beginning of the loth See also:century, from See also:Amsterdam to the Bodleian library
.
The true See also:history of Gentili and of his See also:principal writings has only been ascertained in See also:recent years, in consequence of a revived
The following is probably a See also:complete See also:list of the writings of Gentili, with the places and See also:dates of their first publication : De See also:juris inter pretibus dialogi See also:sex (London, 1582); Lectionum et epist. quae ad See also:jus civile pertinent libri See also:tees (London, 1583–1584) ; De legationibus libri tres (London, 1585) ; Legal. comitiorum Oxon. actio (London, 1585–1586) ; De See also:divers. temp. appellationibus (Hanau, 1586); De nascendi See also:tern See also:pore dispulatio (Witteb., 1586) ; Disputationum decas prima (London, 1587); Conditionum See also:liber singularis (London, 1587); De jure belli See also:comm. prima (London, 1588) ; secunda, ib

An edition of the See also:Opera omnia, commenced at See also:Naples in 1770, was cut See also:short by the See also:death of the publisher, Gravier, after the second See also:volume
