EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrea Alciati, also known as Andrea Alciato or Andrea Maffeo, was a prominent Italian jurist and scholar of Roman Law, born in Lombardy around 1492. This portrait captures Alciati in the prime of his life, with his long, curly beard framing a thoughtful expression. He is depicted wearing a plain, dark coat and a distinctive tall hat, which was a common fashion accessory among scholars and intellectuals during the Renaissance period. Alciati made significant contributions to the field of law, particularly in the area of Roman Law, which was the legal system used in Europe at the time. He is best known for his work "De Emendatione et Interpretatione Iuris Civilis," also known as the "Commentarii," in which he provided a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the Roman Law code. Alciati's influence extended beyond the legal world, as his work was widely read and admired by scholars and intellectuals of all disciplines. His commentaries were used as textbooks for centuries and played a crucial role in the development of European legal systems. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in the history of law and scholarship during the Renaissance period. Alciati's legacy continues to be felt today, as his work remains an essential reference for scholars and legal professionals around the world.
