EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Petrus Baldus de Ubaldis (circa 1370), an esteemed Italian jurist and legal scholar of the late Middle Ages. Petrus Baldus, born in Perugia, Italy, is considered one of the most influential figures in the development of the civil law tradition in Europe. He studied law in Bologna, the center of legal education during that time, and later became a professor of law at the University of Perugia. The intricately detailed print showcases Petrus Baldus in his scholarly attire, seated at a table adorned with various books and legal documents. The serious expression on his face conveys his deep concentration and dedication to his work. In one hand, he holds a quill pen, ready to write or annotate, while the other hand rests on a stack of parchment scrolls. The books surrounding him are filled with the complex legal codes and commentaries of the time, reflecting his extensive knowledge and expertise. Petrus Baldus made significant contributions to the field of civil law through his commentaries on the works of Roman jurists, particularly Justinian's Digest. His commentaries, known as the "Commentaria in quinque libris Digestorum," were widely used in European universities and remained influential for centuries. Petrus Baldus' work laid the foundation for the study of Roman law in the Western world and played a crucial role in the development of modern legal systems. This evocative print, by Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable scholar who left an indelible mark on the history of law and jurisprudence.
