Alexander de Tartagnis

Codicis partem commentaria, 1570.

Alexander de Tartagnis (c. 1424 – 1477) was a medieval jurist.

After studies in Bologna, he became an assessor at the Conservatore della Giustizia and taught law in Bologna, Ferrara and Padua.

His works include commentaries on selected parts of the Pandects and on other works, as well as more than 1'200 advisory opinions. He reports that, for humanitarian reasons, he did not issue advisory opinions in the disfavour of the accused in criminal cases.

Paulus Castrensis was one of his teachers. Jason de Mayno, Bartholomaeus Socinus, and Ludovico Bolognini were three of his students.
