Laurentius Hispanus

Laurentius Hispanus (* around 1180, † December 15, 1248 ) was an important medieval canonist and bishop of Orense .

From 1200 he studied at the University of Bologna probably a. a. at Azo . Then he took up his own teaching there; His students include Tankred of Bologna , Bartholomaeus Brixiensis and perhaps also Sinibaldo Fieschi, who later became Pope Innocent IV. From 1214 at the latest, he was a Magister Scholarum in Orense in northwestern Spain , and he was elected bishop in 1218.

Laurentius Hispanus wrote an extensive gloss apparatus for the Decretum Gratiani between 1210 and 1214 , which Johannes Teutonicus Zemeke later used intensively. He also commented on the Comp. III of the Quinque Compilationes Antiquae and wrote glosses on the Comp. I and II.
