Henricus de Langenstein (de Hassia) lived from 1325-1397. Henricus pursued an academic career, first in philosophy (ca. 1363), then as a doctor of theology at Paris (1376). When the French king increased his pressure on the university to acknowledge the Avignonese Pope Clement VII, Henricus answered with pamphletes that called ofr a general council to end of schism. In 1383, he left Paris and eventually joined the University of Vienna. There he composed treatises bearing on legal matters, among which his confessional manual became a major work of reference in the Empire.

Jacobus de Belviso was born in Bologna around 1270. Studied at Bologna under Franciscus Accursius and Dino. He taught canon law there in 1296-97. He received doctorates from Naples in December of 1298 and from Bologna in 1305. It was long believed that he also obtained a degree from Aix, but this seems not to have been the case (see Maffei 1979). Similarly, he never wrote the treatise titled Practica, which circulated under his name from its first printed edition in 1515. For a long time, Jacobus remained a wandering scholar, lecturing on both laws at Padua, Siena, Perugia, and Naples. Finally, he settled in his hometown in 1321. He died in 1335.

Jean Gerson (1363-1429), one of the most prominent theologians of his age, succeeded Pierre d'Ailly as professor of theology and chancellor of the University of Paris. Jean proposed solutions to the enduring schism in the Roman Church in numerous treatises and took part in the Council of Constance ending the conflict. His involvement in the conciliar movement made it appear dangerous to him to return to Paris in 1419, so that he spent the final years of his life at Lyons. He was also the author of several highly successful confessional works which he combined in an Opus tripartita, as well as other pamphlets on canonical matters.

Jesselin de Cassagnes (Genzelinus de Cassanis, Genselinus de Casanis ultramontanus, Zenzelinus) (born before 1300 probably in the south of France; d.1334/35) J. was teaching law at Montpellier by 1317. In 1323 he moved to Avignon where he became chaplain of Cardinal Arnaud de Via to whom he dedicated his three commentaries. In a document of 1323 he is mentioned as papal chaplain. From 1325 to 1335 Jesselin was involved in the workings of the curia as an executor of papal letters. He received many benefices and he was also named a member of the Rota; this appointment took effect by 1326. He didn't advance any more in his career, probably because of his old age and his poor health and not - as somebody has pointed out - because of the controversies arisen on Jesselin's thesis on the papacy.

Job Vener, born at Strasbourg as the son of Reinbold Vener, ca. 1370, studied the arts at Paris and then law at Heidelberg, before he went to Bologna. There he received degrees in Roman law (1395) and canon law (1397). Upon his return to Heidelberg, he may have taught for a while, but his main professional concerns were those of a royal official, once King Ruprecht of the Palatinate had appointed him protonotary, councillor, and judge, in 1400. Following the king on his military expeditions to Italy, Job still found the opportunity to obtain the doctorate utriusque iuris at Bologna (1402). As the leading representative of the Palatinate, he took part in many of the political events of the day, such as the royal elections of 1410/11 and the Council of Constance. Later, he wrote juridical pamphlets in support of Hraban, archbishop of Trier. Most of his other writings (ed. H. Heimpel [1982] 1169-1517) also reflect his involvement in day-to-day affairs. He died in 1447.

Johannes Andreae (occasionally Bononiensis), born c.1270, was the most renowned and successful canonist of the later Middle Ages, referred to by contemporaries as iuris canonici fons et tuba. Johannes studied law in Bologna: Roman law under Martinus Sillimanus and Riccardus Malumbra; canon law under Egidius Fuscarariis and Guido de Baysio. J. taught canon law at Bologna from 1301/02 until his death in 1348, save for 1307-09 and 1319, when he was teaching in Padua. J. was the author of the Bolognese University-statutes of 1317. Johannes Calderinus was his student and later his adoptive son. Paulus de Liazariis and Johannes de Sancto Georgio were his students, and Johannes counted Cino da Pistoia and Petrarch among his friends. J. remained a layman, was married and had children. His productivity in canon law was enormous. Most important among his works were extensive commentaries on all of the official decretal collections, which he revised several times. J. had a keen interest in the history of his discipline, and often noted the contributions of earlier and even some contemporary jurists in his various writings. J. died in Bologna in the plague of 1348.

Early Printed Editions: Venice 1489 [5 volumes] Hain 1065). Discussion: This title covers a number of revisions of a commentary on the Decretals of Gregory IX which culminated in the Novella. The first recension was a series of additiones on the Decretales written before the publication of the Clementines (1317). The second recension was an expansion on the first. A third recension, or perhaps simply a mixture of I and II seems also to have circulated before the work reached its final form by 1338. Repetitiones which had been written apart from this work were integrated into it and revised with the rest of the commentary (See Pennington, 'Johannes Andreae's Additiones')

Discussion: This collection of quaestiones was first collected under various titles before the publication of the Clementines and perhaps even before the publication of the Liber Sextus (see Cesena, Bibl. Maletest. S.II.3). After the publication of the Clementines and after Johannes had produced his gloss upon them, he revised and added to the Quaestiones mercuriales, rearranging them according to the rules of law. All the manuscripts of the revised version have the single title, De regulis iuris.

Johannes Cagnazzo de Tabia (Taggia), a Dominican teaching at the Bolognese convent of his order, composed a rather bulky penitential Summa (ca. 1515), which depended on the works of his predecessors Ange de Chiavasso and Barthelemy de Salis.

Johannes Baptista de Casalupis (Caccialupi) was born at San Severino, c. 1420. Although better known for his civilian works, he also lectured on canon law, when he was called to Rome by Pope Sixtus IV in 1483/84. J. had studied law at Perugia since 1441. Since 1452, he taught civil law at Siena and soon became the best paid lecturer there. After having transferred to Rome, he also was active as a consistorial advocate, residing in a palace at the vicolo Savelli (n.48), which bears his name inscribed above the front gate until today. He died at Rome in 1496.

Johannes Calderinus (b. at the beginning of the 14th. century - d. 1365) He studied under Johannes Andreae, who became his stepfather. In 1326 he obtained the doctorate in canon law and began to teach in Bologna; he was a colleague of Jacobus Buttrigarius and Paulus de Liazariis. Among his students was Simon de Borsano. J. was married three times and had at least five children, including a son, Gaspar, who was also a significant canonist. J. took part actively in the civic life of Bologna and was very close to the 'Signoria' of Taddeo Pepoli as many others civilists and cononists of this period. He received many honors from city, popes and princes. In 1360 and 1362, he took part in two missions for the city of Bologna to the popes Innocentius VI and Urbanus V. He died in 1365 of the plague. His legal writings, though lacking in the originality that distinguished the classical period of canon law scholarship, were acknowledged by his successors and had an important influence during the 14th and 15th centuries. An accurate list of J.' works is yet to be determined: Calderinus was not an uncommon name and works of others bearing this name have yet to be disassociated from this canonist.

Johannes von Freiburg (Jean le Lecteur, de Hasela, Johannes Choriantus, Lector, Rumsik), born c.1250 in Haslach/Kinzigtal. J. studied theology in Paris, possibly under Thomas Aquinas. He began legal studies in Strasbourg by 1272 under Ulrich von Strasbourg. J. had entered the Dominican order, and in 1280 he becam the prior and Lector of the Dominican house in Freiburg. In addition to preaching, J. was a very active writer, initially engaged in adapting the penitential works of St. Raymond of Peñafort. He provided an index to Raymond's Summa and added a series of questions, before he undertook a penitential summa of his own in 1290. J. also produced shorter versions of this work, and supplied an appendix, statuta, inspired by the appearance of the new legislation of Boniface VIII in 1298. Johannes died in Freiburg in 1304.

Johannes de Imola, (Giovanni Niccoletti) born c. 1372, studied law at Bologna under Francesco Ramponi and Johannes of Lignano. He obtained the doctorate in 1397 and began to teach there in both laws in 1399. He then probably transferred to Padua (1400-02), later to Ferrara (c. 1402-07) and Siena (1404?, 1408-09), before he returned to Bologna to teach in the city uninterruptedly until 1430. In 1430-32, we find him once again at the University of Padua, teaching canon law. He died at Bologna in 1436.

Johannes Monachus (Jean Lemoine, Le Moyne). Born at Crécy (c.1240-50), likely of a noble family. Not a monk. Studied law at Paris. Obtained prebends for Churches in Paris, Amiens and Bayeux which he held until his death in 1313. During the 1280's, Lemoine was promoted to Dean of Bayeux, but it seems doubtful that he ever discharged his duties there personally. In 1285, he was serving as a procurator in the Roman curia. During the reign of Honorious IV (1285-87), J. became a papal chaplain and an auditor. In 1288, he was advanced to the Vice-Chancellorship of the Roman Church by Pope Nicholas IV. In 1293, he was elected Bishop of Arras, but probably remained only an electus as he was promoted to the Cardinalate in 1294 by Pope Celestine V. Lemoine remained on good terms with Pope Boniface VIII and worked dilligently on curial business until his legation to France in 1303. At the height of the second conflict between Boniface VIII and Philip IV of France, J. was dipatched as a legate to Paris in a last and unsuccessful effort to achieve a resolution. J. has been charged by some historians with adopting a (treacherous) anti-Bonifacian position on this mission; but it seems more likely that, whatever his personal views, he attempted to perform a task which simply proved impossible. From 1303-1313 he worked in the curial administration in Rome and Avignon. During his career, J. gave liberally to various churches and the Collége de Cholets in Paris and eventually founded a college in the University of Paris bearing his own name.

Johannes Monachus's most important work was a Glossa aurea to the Liber Sextus; it was an important and persuasive work which was often cited by later canonists. He also wrote extensive glosses to Boniface VIII's Extravagantes, many of which were incorporated into the Glossa ordinaria to the Extravagantes communes. Although Lemoine has been seen as an extreme papalist, the studies of Johannessen and Steckling cast serious doubt on such an interpretation.

Johannes de Turrecremata, a Dominican born at Valladolid in 1388, was the foremost defender of the papal monarchy against the conciliarist movement. Originally trained as a theologian at Salamanca and Paris in the 1420's, his transfer to the papal curia in 1431 and the involvement in the political struggles soon led him to study the sources of canon law. The principal outcome was his commentary on Gratian's Decretum, finished in 1464. He became cardinal in 1439 and died at Rome in 1468.

Juan Gonzáles (Johannes Gundissalvi) studied canon law at Salamanca, where he became doctor decretorum around 1418. In the same year, he went to the Council of Constance as the proctor of his University and the Queen of Castille, and continued on to Rome to become an auditor at the papal curia. Named bishop of Cadiz in 1426, he left Rome in 1427 for his diocese. He reappeared at the Council at Basel (1432-34) but returned to Cadiz after two years. He died in 1440. His literary activity revolved exclusively around political questions of the day, mostly in the form of tractatus.

Juan Alfonso de Mella, born at Zamora in 1397, studied and taught canon law at Salamanca. By 1419, he was decretorum doctor. In 1423, he became auditor of the Roman Rota. In this function he wrote numerous consilia, such as one supporting the English king's claims to the French throne according to the treaty of Troyes (1420), and was often involved in high politics. Thus, he was sent as a papal envoy to the councils of Basel and Ferrara. His writings are mostly related to these missions. In 1437, he became bishop of León (1437), and was later transferred to Zamora (1440) and Siguenza (1466). He nevertheless spent most of his time at the curia in Rome, where he was named cardinal in 1456. Juan died in 1467.
