Huguccio of Pisa, c.1140s-1210.
Medieval Bologna canonist.
A native of Pisa, Huguccio (or "Hugh of Pisa") was one of the pre-eminent teachers of canon law at Bologna. Among his students was Leonardo de Conti, the future superpope Innocent III.. Huguccio would later become Bishop of Ferrara.
Huguccio's principal claim to fame is the Summa super corpore Decretorum, a magisterial summary of Gratian's Decretum, which went well beyond just glossing. Written down at the request of his students as a textbook on canon law, it was not completed in his lifetime. He wound it up c.1190, when he left Bologna to become Bishop of Ferrara. Huguccio's Summa was picked up and continued by Johannes de Deo in 1247.
His Liber Derivationumi is an etymological dictionary, with particular attention on legal terms.
