BONAGUIDA D'AREZZO. - Decretalist of the 13th century. He taught at Arezzo around 1255. He also practiced, as it seems, the forensic profession in Rome with profit.

Not before 1263 he elaborated his Summa introductoria super officio advocacionis in foro ecclesiastico (cf. A. Wunderlich, Anecdota quae ad processum civilem spectant, Gottlinga 1841, pp. 132-345). He is the author of a Gemma seu Margarita containing specific questions derived from the Decretals and pertinent to practice, especially in matters of judicial practice (S. Marion, in Tractatus plurimorum doctoram, Lyon 1519, pp. 31-69). To him was also attributed a Tractatus de dispensationibus (published in Tractatus universi iuris, XIV, Venice 1584, pp. 173-75).

It would not seem possible, by reason of time, to identify him with the homonymous B. collector, along with others, of the collection of the Decisiones antiquae of the Roman Rota, which covers the years between 1372 and 1374, with additions of decisions from an earlier period.
