CARPZOV, BENEDIKT. - Protestant jurist, b. in Wittenberg on 25 May 1595, d. in Leipzig on 30 Aug. 1666. He completed his studies in his homeland, in Leipzig and in Jena, and perfected them through travels in Rome, England and Belgium. Appointed scabinus in Leipzig in 1620, he had the opportunity to study criminal law in depth, leaving interesting studies on the subject; in 1636 he was elected assessor of the Curia provincialis suprema; in 1645 professor in Leipzig. He can be considered one of the founders of scientific law in Germany.

He wrote: Practica nova imperialis savonica rerum criminalium (Wittenberg 1635, placed on the Index in 1635); Iurisprudentia forensis (Leipzig 1638); Iurisprudentia ecclesiastica seu consistorialis (ibid. 1649, placed on the Index in 1714), which is a systematic exposition of canon law according to the episcopal system.
